NOVALAR: Decentralized Housing Protocol - Seeking Community Input & Collaborators

Building a decentralized, privacy-preserving marketplace for affordable modular housing - powered by Logos stack

The recent Talude evictions (60 families with nowhere to go) highlighted Portugal’s housing crisis, but this challenge exists globally. I’m developing NOVALAR - a decentralized housing infrastructure network that tokenizes modular homes to democratize homeownership.

The Vision:

  • Fractional ownership starting at €100, making housing accessible to everyone
  • Rapid deployment - modular homes assembled in 72 hours vs months for traditional construction
  • Community governance through DAOs built on Logos stack (Nomos, Codex, Waku)
  • True decentralization - no central authority controlling housing decisions

Why Logos Integration Matters: The housing crisis requires censorship-resistant coordination between communities, investors, architects, and manufacturers. Logos provides:

  • Privacy by default for sensitive financial/personal data
  • Decentralized governance for community housing decisions
  • Borderless participation without geographic limitations

Current Status: :white_check_mark: Partnership with architect (NEW LIFE DESIGN) for modular housing designs
:white_check_mark: Connection to Logos Lisbon community
:white_check_mark: Two versions of project deck developed (Logos-focused + Solana version for grants)
:arrows_counterclockwise: Seeking technical collaborators and community feedback

What I’m Looking For:

  1. Technical feedback on Logos stack integration approach
  2. Developers interested in building DePIN housing protocols
  3. Community members who want to help solve the housing crisis
  4. Input on both project versions - which resonates more with the Logos vision?

Project Decks:

This could be a powerful use case for the Logos ecosystem - demonstrating how decentralized coordination can solve real-world problems while building community wealth.

Questions for the community:

  • How do you see housing DAOs fitting into the broader Logos vision?
  • What technical challenges should I prioritize for Logos integration?
  • Anyone interested in collaborating on this as a Logos-aligned project?

Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback! :house::zap:

I will try to approach this without any assumptions:-)

  • Technically, probably doable, although you need to find short-term alternative for Nomos:-)
  • Is the goal to have one DAO managing all the locations, or have some kind of DAO structure where each location is completely separate?
  • Do you think the revenue model will work?
  • Who fixes the houses and from what “treasury”? Usually owner does, so here with hundreds of owners of each house, who has the “responsibility”?
  • I like that you called it DePIN:) Keep in mind all the other things around housing though - plumbing, electricity, internet…

All in all, I love the idea, bridging physical and digital world is extremely interesting topic for me:)
