How It Works

  • Invest

    Own a Piece of Crypto Café

    At Crypto Café, ownership is simple, transparent, and blockchain-powered. Here’s how to get involved:

    1. Buy an Owner NFT

    Each café location offers only 25 unique NFTs. These are your digital ownership keys — granting you a stake in profits and access to governance. NFTs are priced between $500–$2,000, and you can hold more than one.

    2. Fund the Future

    Your purchase directly helps launch the café — covering build-out, equipment, and staffing. The DAO treasury is fully transparent and stored in a multisig wallet.

    3. Verify Ownership On-Chain

    Once purchased, your NFT lives in your wallet on Solana, secured and visible to all. This proves your ownership and unlocks DAO access.

    This isn’t a donation. It’s your seat at the table — with real-world returns.




  • Govern

    Vote on Everything That Matters

    When you own an NFT, you don’t just sit back — you help steer the ship. All major decisions are put to a vote, and every NFT gives you a voice.

    1. Submit Proposals

    Want to expand to a new city? Try new drinks? Launch a merch line? DAO members can suggest and submit ideas for the community to vote on.

    2. Vote with Your NFT(s)

    Each NFT equals one vote. The more you own, the more weight your vote carries. All voting happens transparently on Realms, the governance platform built on Solana.

    3. Shape Strategy & Spending

    You help decide how profits are distributed, how much is reinvested, and what the café’s next move is.

    Governance isn’t symbolic. It’s real power, on-chain.

  • Earn

    Profits Shared. No Middlemen.

    When the café earns, the DAO earns. Here’s how the revenue flows back to you:

    1. Track Revenue in Real-Time

    All café income — from coffee sales to merch — is tracked and viewable on a public dashboard, synced to Solana. Full transparency, always + access to live cameras in shop!

    2. DAO Votes on Payouts

    Each month, the DAO decides how much profit to distribute and how much to reinvest. You have a vote in this, every time.

    3. Receive Monthly Earnings

    Your share of profits is automatically sent to your wallet in SOL or stablecoins — no waiting, no banks, no friction.

    Your NFT works for you, generating real-world passive income every month.

FAQ

What is Crypto Café DAO?

Crypto Café DAO is the world’s first community-owned café where decisions are made by token and NFT holders. It’s a real-world coffee business built on the blockchain — combining great coffee with decentralized governance.

Is this a real café or just a crypto project?

It’s both. We’re launching a real coffee shop in Davao City, Philippines, funded and governed by the community using Web3 tools.

What makes it different from a regular café?

Our café is owned by the community. You can vote on decisions, suggest new ideas, and share in the upside. We also accept crypto payments and run on a transparent, decentralized treasury

What is a DAO?

A DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) is a community-led entity with no central authority. All decisions are made through on-chain voting, and all transactions are transparent

How do I become an owner?

Ownership is granted through one of our 11 Founder NFTs — each representing a seat in the core DAO council. These NFTs come with governance rights and profit share.

Where is DAO governance happening?

We’re using Realms (on Solana) for proposals and voting, and Squads for treasury management.

Is This Project Legit?

Yes — but it’s still early. Crypto Café DAO is a real business idea being actively built, Importantly, we’re backed by a founder who has successfully opened a chain of coffee shops from the ground up — from shipping beans nationwide to launching multiple brick-and-mortar café locations. That same experience is now being applied to build a decentralized café brand powered by its community.

That said, this is a grassroots project, not backed by VCs (yet). If you're here now, you're part of the founding community helping build the future of decentralized coffee culture.

Why is the first café opening in the Philippines?

The Philippines is one of the most crypto-savvy countries in the world — ranked #3 globally in crypto ownership. It's also home to a vibrant coffee culture, young tech-forward population, and lower startup costs that allow for higher returns on investment compared to many Western countries.

Our founder successfully built and sold a chain of coffee shops in the United States, then moved to the Philippines to semi-retire and live closer to family. With boots already on the ground and years of experience running profitable cafés, the Philippines was the perfect launchpad to prove the Crypto Café DAO concept.

It’s not just a business move — it’s a personal and strategic choice designed to maximize early success and show what’s possible when Web3 meets real-world entrepreneurship.

How will I get paid as a DAO member / NFT holder?

If you hold one of the 25 Founder NFTs, you are considered a co-owner of the DAO’s first café location. Here’s how you’ll earn:


A portion of café profits will be sent monthly to your wallet in USDC or SOL, based on DAO-approved treasury distributions.


All funds will flow through a Squads multisig wallet, and all transactions will be viewable by the public.


NFT holders vote on when and how profits are distributed — whether to pay out, reinvest, or fund new growth.
