�� Apple Island Token (AIT) – Whitepaper (v1.0)

 



"The Digital Engine of Apple Island – Accra"


1. Executive Summary

The Apple Island Token (AIT) is the native digital asset that powers governance, infrastructure, land ownership, and ecosystem services across Apple Island – Accra, a 12–24 km² reclaimed smart island in Ghana. Built on blockchain infrastructure, AIT enables tokenized real estate, decentralized governance via DAO, and seamless integration of Web3 technologies into a physical sovereign micro-city.

AIT is not just a token — it's a new model for tokenized territory.


2. Vision

Apple Island will be:

The first blockchain-governed island in Africa

A real-world asset (RWA) economy, powered by tokenized land and services

A DAO-governed smart community with green infrastructure, e-residency, and global capital access

6. Infrastructure Stack

- Chain: Ethereum L2 or Polygon (low gas, DePIN friendly)

- Deed Registry: NFT smart contracts (ERC-721A or ERC-3525 for fractional ownership)

- Governance: Snapshot + Aragon (Phase 1), DAO tooling in Phase 2

- Oracles: Chainlink (utility pricing, zoning metadata)

- Storage: IPFS / Arweave (deed metadata, DAO docs)

- Identity: zkID / Soulbound tokens for verified residents


7. Regulatory & Legal

AIT is a utility token, not a security

DAO incorporated in a Web3-friendly jurisdiction (e.g. Cayman, Liechtenstein)

NFT deeds linked to legal title via SPV land-holding structure

9. Risks & Mitigations

Risk

Mitigation

Regulatory uncertainty

DAO wrapper, legal SPV, KYC-compliant interfaces

10. Conclusion

The Apple Island Token (AIT) is more than a digital asset — it’s the financial operating system of a next-generation smart island. By anchoring governance, land rights, services, and identity to a decentralized token economy, AIT offers a model for future sovereign communities.

We invite early Web3 investors, builders, and visionary partners to help shape this pioneering fusion of land, law, and ledgers.
