NLVGH COUNCIL

Powered by ELR (Elaris Token)
Governing the Blockchain City of New Las Vegas (Ghana)

1. Introduction

The NLVGH Council is the official decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) of the New Las Vegas ecosystem — a blockchain-integrated city composed of real, titled land estates such as Harmony Bay, Hollywood Estates, and Amarna Estates.

Each NFT landholder in New Las Vegas becomes more than a property owner — they become a citizen-stakeholder with governance rights, voting power, and direct influence over how their estate grows, evolves, and thrives.

2. Vision & Purpose

The NLVGH DAO exists to:

  • Democratize decision-making for land development, infrastructure, and policy

  • Reward holders with ELR tokens for participation and contributions

  • Align long-term growth of New Las Vegas with the interests of its landholders

  • Foster a sustainable, transparent, and community-powered model of modern urban governance

This is not just real estate. This is decentralized real estate leadership.

3. Governance Token: ELR (Elaris)

ELR is the native utility and governance token of the New Las Vegas ecosystem. It empowers holders to:

  • Vote on proposals relevant to their estate

  • Propose ideas for funding, development, or community enhancements

  • Access perks, discounts, and services across the ecosystem

  • Participate in staking, treasury rewards, and more (future phases)

    Token Utility

  • 1 ELR = 1 Vote in the DAO

  • Used to unlock services (e.g. architectural plans, rentals, amenities)

  • Earned via land NFT ownership and community contributions

  • Tradable on supported DEXs such as QuickSwap (Polygon)

    4. Estate-Based Governance

    New Las Vegas is organized into independently governed estates. The DAO structure reflects this localized autonomy.

    Key Principle: You can only vote in the estate you own land in.

Estate Name Voting Rights

Harmony Bay Only holders of Harmony Bay NFTs can vote

Hollywood Estates Only Hollywood NFT holders can vote

Amarna Estates Only Amarna NFT holders can vote

Each estate functions as a sub-DAO within the NLVGH Council, ensuring local control over development, rules, and funding.

6. DAO Proposal Categories

Members can vote or propose on topics including:

Estate-Level Proposals

  • Infrastructure development (roads, solar, water)

  • Public space and tourism enhancements

  • Approval of architectural standards or design incentives

  • Hosting cultural or commercial events

  • Strategic partnerships (e.g. eco-developers, investors)

    Council-Wide Proposals

  • Onboarding of new estates to the ecosystem

  • Treasury allocation across estates

  • DAO-wide marketing, branding, or cross-promotion efforts

    Proposals must be clear, achievable, and relevant to the scope of either the local estate or the overall council.

    7. Proposal & Voting Process

    Step 1

    – Hold ELR tokens (earned via land NFT ownership or secondary purchase)

    Step 2

    – Access the voting portal at

    newlasvegas.net

    Step 3
    – Select your estate and connect wallet

    Step 4
    – View active proposals and cast votes using your ELR

    Step 5
    – If eligible (10,000+ ELR), submit a proposal within your estate’s DAO

    All proposals must undergo community review before being opened to vote.

    8. DAO Treasury Model

    Each estate manages its own dedicated treasury, funded through:

  • A percentage of NFT sales

  • ELR transaction royalties

  • Donations, grants, or development partnerships

Treasury Use Cases

  • Infrastructure or community improvement

  • Marketing and tourism promotion

  • Perk and reward programs for residents

  • Sustainability or environmental projects

    Each treasury is controlled by multi-signature wallets with designated signatories from the estate community, rotated periodically.

    9. Constitution & DAO Law

    The NLVGH DAO is governed by a living constitution, which outlines the rules of governance, voting, treasury management, and proposal thresholds.

    Initial Constitution Includes:

  • Minimum voting participation levels (per estate)

  • Treasury usage approval flow

  • Emergency override or freeze protocols

  • Signatory rotation process

  • Dispute resolution and governance appeals

    The first vote to ratify the DAO constitution is scheduled for Q2 2025, after which any member can propose amendments with sufficient ELR.

10. Participation Incentives

Participation is rewarded with ongoing ELR benefits:

  • Voting Rewards: Earn ELR for active participation in votes

  • Proposal Rewards: Successful proposal leads may receive bonuses

  • Community Referrals: ELR rewards for referring land NFT buyers

  • Special Access: Exclusive access to events, services, and partnerships for top contributors

    Staking and passive yield systems for ELR holders will be introduced in future phases.

Through token-powered governance, blockchain verification, and real estate- backed NFT ownership, we’re creating a model where landowners become law- makers.

Welcome to the new era of self-governed cities. Welcome to New Las Vegas.
