Their main goal is to address the worldwide lack of funding for agricultural projects. Kokonut helps farmers get the funds they need while creating opportunities for web3 communities by giving them access to perpetual natural assets. Kokonut uses a DAO framework for decision-making and allocating treasury funds.
