LandDAO is rethinking what it means to own land. By bringing real land onto the blockchain, the DAO is opening the door to a more transparent and community-driven model of ownership. As part of this vision, LandDAO has outlined a first set of countries where it will begin acquiring land.
In this article, we break down LandDAO’s initial target countries and explain the reasoning behind each selection, from Africa to Europe and beyond.
LandDAO’s First Target Countries
To kickstart its mission, LandDAO has mapped out countries across four regions. These locations were chosen based on clear land laws, long lease options, and political stability. Together, they offer a mix of reliable frameworks and exciting opportunities for expansion.
The selected countries:
- Africa: Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Morocco, Egypt, Rwanda
- Europe: Portugal, Spain, Scotland, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Albania, Montenegro
- South America: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia
- Southeast Asia: Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia
This mix reflects LandDAO’s global ambition — starting where transparency, stability, and opportunity align.
How the Countries Were Chosen
For LandDAO, selecting the right countries was about more than just geography. LandDAO applied clear principles to guide its selection.
The general principles that guided selection include:
- Clarity of land laws and ease of acquisition.
- Lease duration available to foreigners.
- Political and economic stability.
- Market potential (domestic + global appeal).
- Safety and governance.
- Openness to innovation and digitization.
Why These Countries Made the List
When it comes to land, every region offers unique strengths. Some offer stability and legal clarity, others bring strong market potential or untapped growth.
In this section, we’ll look at each region — Europe, Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia — and highlight why these countries made LandDAO’s first map.
Here’s a snapshot:
| Region | Countries (with lease duration) |
