We launched a pyramid to the moon in January 2025 with Meme World Order, LifeShip, and MoonDAO - a physical artifact containing a private key that maps to crypto wallets from multiple communities. Now we're building the digital infrastructure to keep that mission alive and bring new people into space culture. This proposal funds a Base mini-app that tracks the lunar pyramid's wallet balance in real-time, shows its location on the moon, and lets people submit digital art and messages to add to the bounty. The goal is simple: make space interesting again for retail crypto users and grow the lunar bounty into something impossible to ignore.

Open Pathways to Space: Democratizing Space Analog Missions in Brazil’s Semiarid is a project about giving 4 people from all over the world a fair chance to experience what it is like to prepare for space through a participation in a space analog mission in Habitat Marte space analog station based in Brazilian semiarid. The mission will happen from October 12th to 16th, 2026.  
Going to space usually feels like something only a few countries or people can do. This project wants to change that. We use a special place on Earth called Habitat Marte, a space analog station located in Brazil’s semiarid region. This environment looks and feels a bit like the Moon or Mars: dry, remote, and challenging. Because of that, it is perfect for practicing how humans might live and work in space.  
Through this project, participants from different countries, backgrounds, and professions will be able to take part in realistic space missions on Earth through Habitat Marte space analog station. They will

Access to space and space-like conditions (low pressure, temperature extremes, low gravity, radiation, etc) is still one of the leading needs in the industry. Flight capabilities for scientific exploration of Earth and our solar system, as well as the need to validate new technologies to be used for such endeavors.  
I would like to propose a weeklong, hands‑on workshop for the Maldives Space Research Organization (MSRO) to take place at the Addu Atoll in the Maldives, focused on teaching their emerging space agency how to build, fly, and recover stratospheric polyethylene balloons capable of carrying 1000’s of pounds to near space.

We want to run a workshop where university students imagine how people might organize and make decisions in space. Instead of teaching them the rules that exist today, we give them tools to think creatively. Students from ecology, regenerative systems, climate justice, and law will explore ideas like: How do communities on Earth share forests or water fairly? How does nature reuse everything in circles? Then they ask: Could any of this help us work together better in space?

LunARC’s MoonDAO Project Proposal: Governance Design Workshop at Universidad NUR

According to the [MoonDAO roadmap](https://docs.moondao.com/About/Roadmap) the organization should start designing Lunar Settlement this year. Rovers are major elements of it.

No unified standards for lunar rovers exist. By supporting this initiative, MoonDAO fulfills its mission and establishes itself as a leader in lunar exploration.

The standard should cover all the aspects of rover design, from the physical interface to the software stack.

Rover projects can realize immediate benefits by adopting specific components of the standard, such as command protocols, even without full implementation.

To succeed we need to form a global collaboration and adopt the standard. To secure the necessary resources, we plan to leverage the MoonDAO launchpad.

Phase Two focuses on preparing for a launch via the MoonDAO launchpad, formalizing community development processes, and establishing the initial draft of the standard.

Space is a new frontier in biology for two reasons: firstly we can use the lack of gravity for experiments that outperform terrestrial settings, and secondly because we need a whole set of new technology and know-how to tackle the space environment for human life. This project will produce a shared, peer‑reviewed technical baseline for MoonDAO’s future biological mission design and funding. The paper will collect and organize research, examples, and companies into a reliable review paper to help guide the whole sector. This helps MoonDAO and others understand the landscape of space bio, helps direct research, funding, and policy. The work will be coordinated by Expanse Bio, a new hub accelerating space biotech. The team of scientists leading this project have multiple experiences publishing high impact studies.

I want to give everyone a simple way to write one short wish and send it to the Moon. People can do it for free, or they can choose a digital or printed certificate as a keepsake. After the Moon delivery is confirmed, participants receive a personalized certificate that includes their wish and the date it touched the lunar surface. This proposal brings that global participation model to MoonDAO as a community growth engine, a cultural public good, and an optional revenue stream, implemented in collaboration with LifeShip (lifeship.com).

Voyaj connects people from around the globe for one-on-one meaningful exchanges to foster global understanding and peace. Our mission drives us forward daily. As such, Voyaj proposes hosting a large-scale Voyaj event in San Francisco in Spring 2026 featuring Inspiration4 astronaut Chris Sembroski in conversation with students from College Track, a leading college‑completion nonprofit serving first‑generation scholars from under‑resourced communities, founded by Loraine Jobbs. https://collegetrack.org/

This Voyaj event will bring together Chris’s lived experience of spaceflight, risk, resilience, and teamwork with the stories of immigrant and first‑generation students striving for college success. By creating a dynamic dialogue between exploration in space and personal journeys of overcoming obstacles on Earth, this event will inspire students to see themselves as future leaders, problem‑solvers, and potential contributors to humanity’s exploration of the unknown.

Pulse v0 is a compact, smart wearable that can deliver medicine automatically and safely. In extreme or confined environments like spacecraft, analog habitats, or remote Earth locations giving yourself a shot is difficult. Gravity doesn’t help, spaces are tight, and even small mistakes like needle jams, backflow, or sensor errors can be dangerous. Medicines such as anti-nausea drugs, painkillers, antibiotics, allergy treatments, or even cancer therapies need precise delivery to keep people safe. Pulse v0 is a bench-top prototype, built to test whether a wearable can reliably and safely deliver medication without putting anyone at risk. It allows us to study fluid dynamics, dosing accuracy, and sensor reliability under controlled lab conditions. The design is human-centered, focusing on safety, usability, and reliability. Testing this prototype now generates critical data to guide future iterations, including wearables for space, remote missions, or emergency use. Beyond space, Pulse v0

This proposal outlines a strategic initiative for MoonDAO to establish a temporary physical presence in Florianópolis, Brazil, during April 2026, leveraging two major ecosystem events: **Discover Floripa** and **Ipê Village**. The goals are to strengthen MoonDAO’s visibility, partnerships, and community growth in Latin America through Florianópolis as a leading regional hub for startups, digital nomads, and crypto innovation, making it an ideal entry point for MoonDAO’s long‑term expansion in the region and ecosystem.

The initiative includes renting an apartment for one month to function as a MoonDAO base, hosting community events and workshops, and organizing a focused hackathon. The hackathon will explore a novel crypto‑native model that combines elements of stock markets and startup incubators to connect investors with space‑focused startups developing solutions for Earth‑based challenges. The project aims to generate tangible prototypes, onboard new contributors, and position Moon

MoonDAO Florianópolis 2026 - April Edition (Ipê Village + Discover Floripa)

This project aims to bring the experience and curiosity about the space world to remote communities that do not have access to telescopes or astronomical education, through a mobile planetarium and sky observation activities.  
Using a portable inflatable planetarium, a projector, and a telescope, along with educational materials and workshops, engaging activities will be carried out for children and young people. These activities will help them learn about space, stars, and the universe in a practical, theoretical, democratic, accessible, and fun way.

One of the greatest dreams of space enthusiasts is to reach more people, especially those who do not have access to such experiences. Being part of motivating this new generation would be an honor for me.

We will design a simulation tabletop game that will be used as a tabletop exercise at workshops, universities, and conferences. Participants would step into the role of a government or commercial space company operating in a future lunar economy. The simulation will also include a Lunar Development Cooperative (LDC), which aims to create hubs on the Moon serving LDC members who all follow shared standards and rules of conduct.

The Earth-Space Conservation and Demonstration Center (ESCDC), is a 338 acre space education and research analog site in Washington, New Hampshire. Founder David Cheuvront, was the visionary study team member and co-author of NASA’s “ The Evolvable Lunar Architecture” document and a NASA ISS and Safety & Compliance focused Systems Engineer.  MoonDAO’s 2030 target of a minimum viable, self-sustaining lunar settlement by around 2030, culminating in a celebratory gathering is quickly approaching. During this past 4Q2025 Autumn, ESCDC’s 3 crew members rapidly stood up our first ESCDC operations for a successful World Biggest Analog (WBA) pilot; we're seeking to continue building the vision of our Founder David Cheuvront.  The site needs basic 'life support' base systems— power, water, communications and environmental control, so we can further develop and host space: education, research and analog events (The 2030 celebration) that feels like it's happening on the Moon.

Type 2 Labs is building a lunar rover that Youtubers, streamers, and Chat (stream viewers) can control.
The Mission: Chat, We are Going to the Moon.
We are in the process of prototyping the rover, finding mission sponsors, planning live rover pits at conferences, and planning analogue streaming missions.  Our marketing strategy: If it doesn't make people laugh or inspire them, we don't do it. Audiences are tired of polished corporate messaging — they want something that feels human and self-aware. Everything we do has a hint of irony, and that's by design. Serious Engineering. Unserious Marketing.  Our sponsorship model: We're building a roster of category-exclusive sponsors where each company owns their category as the 'Official [Category] of Chat, We are Going to the Moon.' The semi-ironic 'Official' title is audience-tested and memorable — viewers find it entertaining, which means more engagement for sponsors. MoonDAO's role: MoonDAO would become the Official DAO of Chat, We are Goi

Chat We Are Going to the Moon: Part 1 - Sponsorships

This project is a monthly, in person speaker series held on the full moon, focused on how humans think about, govern, and build for the Moon. It is a direct continuation of the Moon Dialogs series founded by Jessy Kate, founder of the Open Lunar Foundation, which demonstrated sustained community interest in accessible, interdisciplinary conversations about lunar development and stewardship.
Hosted at The Fold in San Francisco, the series carries forward the Moon Dialogs ethos while introducing a more structured arc, clearer objectives, and tighter integration with active lunar infrastructure projects. Each event brings together experts and practitioners alongside a broader community to hear short talks, share food and drinks, and engage in discussion across lunar policy, development, geology, philosophy, and systems infrastructure.
The series also serves as a public facing platform to introduce and discuss the forthcoming Lunar Timekeeping whitepaper and to invite new contributors into
