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.

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.

This proposal introduces an official **MoonDAO-branded Wave card design**, along with a **short explainer video** and a **dedicated export page**, that citizens can use with the Wave Connect platform.

Citizens will be able to visit a MoonDAO page, export their personalized card design, and upload it to their Wave card. When tapped or scanned, the card instantly shares their MoonDAO profile and relevant links.

The goal is to make MoonDAO citizenship **easy to represent, easy to share, and easy to understand** at real-world events, missions, meetups, and conferences.

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

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

0g-SPOT is an audio and visual podcast that explores human intimacy, relationships, and philosophical questions related to spaceflight. While most public conversations about space focus on technology and engineering, 0g-SPOT centers on the human experience - using thoughtful, tongue-in-cheek dialogue to make space more relatable and engaging to a general adult audience. Season 1 is already well underway: eight episodes have been recorded, with the first episode currently in professional post-production. Current episode guests include medical leaders in space, Star Trek royalty, sex experts, design experts, and health and wellness leaders in space. This proposal supports the completion, polishing, and distribution of the first eight episodes, enabling timely delivery of a high-quality media project that contributes to MoonDAO’s mission to shape a more human future in space. The first season is anticipated to consist of approximately 12–16 episodes. The first eight episodes have already

Moonshot Celebration is a simple idea: people write one short wish and send it to the Moon. Anyone can participate for free, and if they want a keepsake they can choose an optional digital or printed certificate. This project is a three-month MoonDAO pilot that tests whether "Send Your Wish to the Moon" can (1) bring new people into MoonDAO's orbit, (2) create measurable engagement and community growth, and (3) generate sustainable revenue through a transparent revenue-share model. Lunar delivery integration is executed in collaboration with LifeShip (lifeship.com).

Imagine a big, exciting festival in Uganda where hundreds of young blockchain developers come together to learn, build, and dream big. Our team wants to turn this into a MoonDAO launchpad for Africa! We will use the Blockchain Developer Festival (DevFest Kampala 5.0) on June 27, 2026, to introduce MoonDAO to local devs in super-simple ways. We'll show how blockchain helps us build a real lunar settlement by 2030. The event ends with a post-event hackathon in July where teams create MoonDAO-inspired projects. In kid terms: "We're throwing a space-blockchain party in Uganda to make MoonDAO's mission fun, teach everyone how it works, grow a local crew of fans and builders, and keep the adventure going with future partnerships."

Astronauts who see Earth from space often experience a profound shift in worldview called the Overview Effect. Despite decades of astronaut testimony, no one has ever done a rigorous, large‑scale analysis of what these experiences actually have in common, how they vary, or what psychological mechanisms drive them. TORI Stage 1 will build the first comprehensive research database of Overview Effect accounts by systematically coding astronaut memoirs, interviews, oral histories, and mission transcripts. The result: an open‑access archive and a peer‑reviewed publication establishing empirical patterns in Overview Effect experiences, giving the space community (and MoonDAO specifically) a scientific foundation for understanding how space travel transforms human consciousness.

The Overview Research Initiative (TORI): Stage 1

This project builds a simple tool that shows how activity from the Sun affects satellites around Earth. When the Sun is more active, satellites experience more drag and can lose altitude faster. This dashboard will show this risk in real time in a way that anyone can understand.

MoonDAO Project Proposal

Picture this: hundreds of young blockchain developers packed into a lively hall in Kampala, notebooks open, laptops humming, all buzzing with ideas. That's DevFest Kampala 5.0 on June 27, 2026. Our team wants to make it MoonDAO's official launchpad in East Africa.

We'll bring MoonDAO right into the heart of the event with a branded booth, an interactive workshop that breaks down the Master Plan in plain language, and swag that gets people talking. Then we'll cap it off with a focused post-event hackathon in July where teams build real prototypes tied to lunar settlement challenges—like decentralized coordination tools or on-chain funding for space public goods.

But we're not stopping when the event ends. We've planned concrete follow-through: immediate Discord onboarding with welcome messages and role assignments to enable them attend the DAO calls & proposed monthly "Uganda MoonDAO Meetups" ( mostly virtually), guided sessions on how to vote with $vMOONEY, submit contributions for r
