MoonDAO Projects

Project System

MoonDAO's decentralized project system funds mission-aligned initiatives that advance our goal of establishing a permanent settlement on the Moon.

How Our Project System Works

MoonDAO Projects are goal-oriented teams working on mission-aligned objectives. Our comprehensive framework supports project funding, progress tracking, and provides retroactive incentives for successful contributions.
