The 21st-century crisis is local. So is the solution.
As heat records break and 20th-century infrastructure buckles — rails warping, roads melting, grids shedding load exactly when people need them most — a quieter fact keeps showing up in the data: small pockets of restored land stay livable while everything around them fails. Not by luck. By years of unglamorous work — planting diverse canopy, slowing water with swales, building soil that holds rain like a sponge instead of shedding it like a roof.
The seven regenerative principles of the OASA Constitution — the minimum standard every OASA project upholds, and the bar for the Village Fund.
From owning land to stewarding it.
For five hundred years our culture told one story: civilization on one side, wilderness on the other, human presence a subtraction from nature. That story is disabling — it leaves only “dominate” or “leave alone,” and both are separation. There is an older, third way: the human hand as a keystone — the species whose presence makes the forest thick, the river clear, the soil deeper each year.
Ownership as a drain
- Land held to be used up — its value in what you take out
- Nutrients exported, never cycled back; soil overdrawn
- Water rushed downstream as flood, gone a week later
- Diversity simplified for short-term yield, then collapse
- Community sovereignty traded for corporate bottom lines
Stewardship as a loop
- Land held to grow the pie for future generations
- Soil carbon built year over year — an account that refills
- Water slowed, spread and sunk; the water table rises
- Species added, resilience compounding over time
- Sovereignty kept local: your data, your domain, your rules
Keystone species don’t dominate their ecosystems. They hold the arch open so everything else can live inside it. The otter makes the kelp forest possible. The beaver makes the wetland. Humans have played exactly this role — when the culture told them to.— Becoming Keystone, Samuel Delesque

Traditional Dream Factory runs on Closer
Europe’s first tokenized regenerative ecovillage — a degraded poultry farm in Alentejo turned into an oasis of life. DAO-governed, built entirely on Closer, from land purchase to daily operations. In 2025 its water table rose from 20m below ground to just 3m — trees surviving a six-month drought without a drop of borehole water.
5 villages run on Closer, 96 on the map.

Deploy on Closer. Steward the land.
Villages that run on Closer and respect the OASA principles qualify for the OASA Village Fund’s first cohort of 10 villages. The fund cannot provide funding to that cohort. Building a village is legally exhausting and financially punishing, and most attempts fail. This cohort exists to change those odds for the builders with the stomach for it — by exploring use-right tokens and the infrastructure that supports a village, not by lending.
The $120k raised for the OASA Fund were unfortunately lost in the Artizen shutdown, which has caused hundreds of thousands in losses for creators around the world. The OASA Fund therefore cannot provide funding to the fall cohort we’d like to onboard. We are, however, excited to start working with 10 villages that want to explore tokenizing their use rights as a long-term funding vehicle, and to build together the infrastructure that supports successful villages.
What qualifies you
- Land — title or long-term lease, and a regeneration plan aligned with the OASA Constitution’s seven principles.
- A binding stewardship commitment. The OASA trust model is one proven path — not required. Protect your land another way and you disclose your methodology openly.
- Open books — financial and ecological transparency to the OASA network, with annual reporting.
- Run on Closer for the cohort. No lock-in — your data and community stay yours, and you can leave after.
Reasons not to apply
- You see the land as a real estate play with an exit.
- You’re building toward an exit, not a legacy — stewardship is a constraint you’d rather escape.
- You won’t open your books to the OASA network.
Consent-based governance causes friction. Co-ownership is legally complex. Novel financing means building the plane while flying it. We have the playbook — and OASA’s legal counsel is at your disposal whichever structure you choose — but you need the resilience.
