The Body DAO

December 9th, 2021

The BodyDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization hyper focused on presenting the Kingdom of God in the Metaverse and all of Web3.

The BodyDAO is named as such based on 1 Corinthians 12:12 (AMP):

“For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ. “

The BodyDAO, also established as a Wyoming LLC, manages Church in the Metaverse, our flagship initiative which includes the acquisition of metaverse land parcels, the virtual planting of churches, the development of programs, community outreach, community growth and tithes. A “tithe” is a tenth of all that is received which is given to missions that align with The BodyDAO. Tithes will be distributed on a weekly basis. All donations will come from The BodyDAO treasury which will be managed by The BodyDAO in a Gnosis Safe with 3 signatures, reflecting the Triune Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Ghost). The BodyDAO is advised by 12 ministry leaders all over the world with years of impact and experience. In an era of play to earn, we wish to create experiences that touch the soul as well as empower the community.

Acquiring our governance token known as $BODAO allows for you to become a member of The BodyDAO, which has a myriad of benefits such as access to our community, the ability to propose organizations for donations that align with our mission as well as exclusive NFT airdrops which will serve as gate keys for live events. Our treasury plans to acquire and hold rare NFTs as well as land parcels. The purpose of these acquisitions are to draw attention to visitors so that as they enter into our respective sites, the rare NFTs can serve as the graphics to our marquee church signs. Unless the BodyDAO proposes and approves, the rare NFTs acquired will not ever be sold. Upon the potential sale of the rare NFTs, 10% of the proceeds will be tithed, 10% will be distributed to the advisors and 10% will be distributed among the team. The remaining 70% of the proceeds will be placed into the treasury.

Every Church in the Metaverse location aims to provide a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week experience that will reward participants for visiting through what we call “Pray to Earn” activities. To incentivize visitation and engagement, $BODAO tokens will be airdropped to all Church in the Metaverse site members as they complete tasks such as listening to music, watching a sermon, providing commentary regarding a series, reading the scripture of the day through YouVersion or even asking a question about the Christian faith, which would be answered through GotQuestions.org or other resources such as our internal advisors in ministry.

As the BodyDAO grows, we anticipate partnerships with Christian organizations, artists, platforms as the like. As we build in the future, we wish to commemorate this monumental undertaking. The BodyDAO have cultivated 3 NFTs to the first supporters of our mission. Beyond nostalgia, the NFTs are of value with the Church in the Metaverse sites as well as within the BodyDAO from a governance perspective.

The advent of blockchain technology, specifically Web3 and cryptocurrency, has created an opportunity to serve marginalized and persecuted communities. Beyond the fiscal opportunities that cryptocurrency generally provides as a store of value, investment or utility token, Web3 frees nations from the religious suppression. Certain nations are known to brutally terrorize, torture, traumatize Christians. These nations are known to oppress economically as well as religious to the point of death. Web3 access points, namely wallets, provide a way for people all over the world to fellowship without fear as nations cannot shut down Web3 wallets or its most notable outputs like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, etc.

Church in the Metaverse aims to be a multi metaverse experience so the BodyDAO will acquire land parcels within various metaverse worlds. The sites will be designed by critically acclaimed Reginald Baylor of Reginald Baylor Studios along with the help of others. Upon successful acquisitions, design and development, we anticipate that the BodyDAO will officially launch its first Church in the Metaverse site in January of 2022 as we constantly iterate to make things better. The BodyDAO has launched its Discord and will be revealing more regarding the specific date when the first Church in the Metaverse site will open.

Like Jesus, our aim is to bring about release so we pray for release and work towards release.

Luke 4:18–19 (AMP): “The Spirit of the LORD is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor.”

Allocation & Process

The $BODAO governance token is allocated in a way where the BodyDAO retains 70% and a call for membership has 30% of the governance tokens available.

The details of the allocation are expressed in the following pathways:

10% = Tithe
10% = Advisors
10% = The Team
10% - The Airdrops

Funds are going into the treasury and will be used to acquire land parcels in various metaverse environments, hire developers to build amazing metachurches, support our team as well as prepare for airdrops within our metachurch sites.

The tithe portion of the proceeds will be donated and sent from tithe.eth to a choice organization that aligns with the BodyDAO’s mission.

The advisor portion will fully unlock for access in June of 2022. Half will be available in January of 2022.

The team portion will be fully available for the sake of development funding.

The airdrop portion will be used to reward visitors who complete activities in our Church in the Metaverse sites.
