# The Operating Platform

{% hint style="success" %}
The model isn't run on spreadsheets and good intentions — it runs on software that **already exists.** A production operating platform (app.builtbydao.com) coordinates the work, logs contribution, mints the equity, and runs governance. The proof round points it at the first physical hub; it doesn't build it from scratch.
{% endhint %}

## What it is

A production full-stack platform (React 19 + Express + PostgreSQL, on AWS), at version 2.2.0:

* **186-table** PostgreSQL schema · **180** application pages · **71** API route modules · **50** service modules
* On **Base Sepolia testnet** — wallet connection (Reown AppKit), NFT membership reads, token balances, on-chain governance reads

## What it coordinates

| Capability                   | What it runs                                                                               |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Onboarding & membership**  | Join flow, the 14-rank system, profiles, vetting                                           |
| **Project management (PJM)** | Projects, tasks, subtasks, assignments, QC — the build coordination layer                  |
| **Skills**                   | A unified skills system, 5-level proficiency, matching members to work                     |
| **Treasury & rewards**       | The rewards ledger, EQTBLT accrual, the Founder Fund panel                                 |
| **Governance**               | Proposals, quadratic voting, rank voting-weight                                            |
| **Wallet**                   | Connection, NFT membership, token balances                                                 |
| **Community**                | Real-time messaging & notifications, events/RSVP, merit badges, referrals, mutual-aid fund |
| **Education**                | Course modules — the training pipeline, delivered                                          |
| **Investor**                 | Investor onboarding & accreditation; an AI project-scoping wizard                          |

## Why it matters for the Blueprint

Three things the platform makes real rather than promised:

1. **Contribution → ownership is auditable.** Every hour worked is logged and converts to EQTBLT on-chain — the ownership accrual isn't a narrative, it's a ledger.
2. **The build is managed, not improvised.** Projects, tasks, skills, and QC run through one system — the answer to "can they actually coordinate construction at scale?"
3. **Governance and treasury have rails.** Multisig, timelocks, quadratic voting, and anti-capture ceilings are implemented, not aspirational.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Testnet pilot.** The platform and contracts run on Base Sepolia — tokens hold no monetary value yet. Mainnet cutover is a deliberate, separate decision pending the proof round and counsel. The *operational* capability is live today; the *financial* layer is staged.
