Living on the cutting edge of technological progress can be thrilling, and the benefits from such can be life-changing. But in order to actually change systems, we must develop and favor projects that connect this new technology back into real world actions and developments. This is where the ECOBANK development project is born, with a tangible desire to show and put into place how these new technologies can be used to benefit actual people and support local and sustainable development projects around the world.
And a very real desire to see a 'Land-Backed' crypto project. The term 'strategic real-estate' is also relevant, for it is with that in mind that I began converting my very own gains into land in 2020.
The ECO DEVELOPMENT BANK SAS was founded in Colombia in 2022, through which we have officially registered this project in all its legality. Approximately 7 hectares of 'strategic real-estate' has been placed into the company to start its first project, the sale of ECOBANK tokens to fund hotel and event infrastructure to be built. Participation in the design discussion has begun.
The land serves as a backing to our ECOBANK token sale, which is on going in the stable coins HBD and BUSD (as well as SWAP.HBD and SWAP.BUSD). The money raised will be used for Hotel and Event infrastructure, turning ECOBANK into an exclusive membership club as well as an investment in regional development in emerging markets.
The ECOBANK investors will help guide the company through further projects and possible subsidiary regional development projects, of which there are several - read more on peakd.com/@quintaesencia - a growing network of local leaders working for sustainable development.
Apart from being a buzzword, sustainble has real meaning to me, and it is the harmony between ecological, social and economic prosperity of any project. Too many people find themselves divided on the economic issue but let me make is simple - projects must be profitable to find economic harmony. This makes them, out of necessity, 'value adding enterprises'. From this perspective, it is much easier to add in ecological and social benefit functions.
Originally announced in December, the token model is that of a common share in a for-profit company, making it a security. We are in the process of registering with the SEC, so unaccredited US persons will soon be allowed to participate.
The profits of operating the resort hotel will be, after 20% global withholding to the reinvestment fund, distributed by the will of the token holders through a stake based voting mechanism. Distribution of dividends will be made through the token wallets.
In addition, the token adds features of 'Membership club', and will allow discounts and commissions based on a investor tier system, originally announced in this post. This discount/commission rate will align incentives of the project and its investors to 'send us more people'.
We can think of any number of promotional benefits to sweeten the deal of being a member of a hotel, and we will surely try many of these ideas out. Currently, investors could find some benefits from within the Colombian legal structure.
The Resort/Hotel is just the first project we have planned for the ECOBANK - it is a precondition of having investors come and visit, hosting meet ups and conferences, and continuing to develop our local region.
But beyond this, each time ECOBANK expands to other projects, we will use stock-split airdrop mechanisms to make sure that ECOBANK members continue to benefit from all the development projects we do in the future.
The PRESALE is going on now for ECOBANK tokens. When it is complete, which it is not yet, we will distribute the tokens to the wallets and let the market decide the price. At that point, anyone with a HIVE wallet will be able to participate with SWAP.HIVE on the dex.
If there are any left over, or if we decide to do another sale to expand the project, we will never list the tokens at this price again, any future listing will be higher.
250,000 Tokens issued, and we are selling up to half of them in the presale.
For HBD, SWAP.HBD, and SWAP.BUSD, send to @ecobanker account on HIVE with memo - ECOBANK presale
For BUSD - send to 0xa6Cfe21d0363ec1054D3B402dcFbe7E5e0535cB6
We have had some requests, and I estimate them to be of significant size, to receive BUSD directly on BSC - Binance Smart Chain. I have determined this to be easy enough to integrate in the sale, as we can sell the BUSD directly for Colombian Pesos on Binance exchange.
So I have set up the address listed above, a new wallet with the keys safely guarded. The appropriate memo to send with would be your HIVE account, but if investors don't have a HIVE account, they can leave the memo blank (or include ECOBANK presale), and they will be registered with their sending address. This will leave us in the future looking to either integrate these users into HIVE with a HIVE keychain wallet, or figuring out how to distribute the dividends and membership benefits to BSC address. So far we have no plans to issue the ECOBANK token directly on BSC, this is just a funding mechanism.
If there are any questions about this, please feel free to reach out to me.
Our originally planned distribution structure was as follows:
In the mean time, we have decided to reduce the amount of land going into the project by almost 3 hectares, we should have a finalized map soon, but this means there may be around 30,000 additional tokens to find their way into unanticipated costs or later sales. I will provide a specific update about this information, including the land, realized costs and pending costs for getting this project off the ground. We will not be issuing more tokens, but we reserve the right to schedule these non-presale tokens to costs related to the development project or to sell them at the Presale Price while the Presale is still open.
I will provide an update to the presale results in the following post - we continue to get purchases from great users and everything is recorded on chain. Our stables are safe and earning interest in the meantime.
As announced previously, I am working with @bambukah and his SuperHive project to create the static site for ECOBANK - https://ecobankdevelopment.com/
With this post published my next steps are to finalize a static information page for the project and then update the Presale totals. Thank you all for your patience, we are making great progress with our team but in the end, I am still the only one making the posts.
Cordially receiving all of your input and feedback below in the comments. Let's keep building the world we want to see!
How much HBD I need to send for 100 tokens.
its 110 for 100, thank you for asking!
That's great! I didn't know the roadmap was that broad. Even more excited to be a part of it now

Good luck this is a long term investment backed by crypto for a hard asset. I wish you only success!
This is amazing. I am certainly cheering for this project and will try to find some HBD to help make this project fly. I really think that the grassroots fundraising can really benefit from crypto in the real world, and this project is the first that I have seen that will hopefully prove it.

Good luck with your project. I think you have come up with a winning idea. Let me try and find some HBD.
The future of cryptocurrencies will depend on achieving this intersection between the real and virtual worlds.

Oh, there are extra projects involved with the Ecobank project? I am looking forward to it.

I've done it! I've sent some HBD to @ecobanker. There is more to come soon. I'm getting really excited now!
Wish you the best with your project ! I'll buy some tokens.
A question about the token, is it going to benefit from a land price increase for example ?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Here is what I am thinking, although I havent published it yet - there should be a net asset value we can use and the fund can set a buy back rate based on that. Work in progress but short answer, yes - stock (token) price should reflect asset values.
This sounds like a great project & investment.
Am I to understand that as a US citizen, I can not take part in this right now?
Its like this....
If I tell you 'yes, you can do it', and you do, we could get fined by the SEC later, maybe.
If I say 'us people can't' and you don't do it, you have self selected.
If I say 'no US people', and you still do it, likely nothing will happen.
But we are working to register with the SEC anyway, just in case and in interest of learning how to do it.
Picked up 100 ecobank tokens. All the best!

The people doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved deeply with her group and @fyrstikken . Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant prove she is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing it. I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
