This proposal calls upon EQTY CEO Rick Schmitz to revitalize and execute the previously announced partnerships with AKRE and Joseph Klibansky, ensuring that these collaborations materialize into live digital assets within the EQTY ecosystem.
It also requests authorization for the allocation of team funds toward marketing and PR efforts to generate visibility and momentum around these launches — positioning EQTY as the leading platform for Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization and cultural innovation.
During the LTO Network phase, a major partnership was officially announced between LTO Network and AKRE Partners, a forward-thinking alternative investments assessment firm.
Under this agreement:
This partnership demonstrated EQTY’s potential for real-world utility, institutional credibility, and cross-sector innovation.
However, it was never fully realized due to the transition from LTO Network to EQTY.
Now that EQTY exists as a DAO in progress on Base, it’s time to bring this partnership back to life and fulfill its promise.
The partnership with Joseph Klibansky represents EQTY’s creative dimension — merging fine art with tokenized ownership.
Reactivating this collaboration alongside AKRE will solidify EQTY’s position at the crossroads of finance, technology, and culture, appealing to both institutional and retail audiences.
✅ Restores credibility – Fulfilling previously announced partnerships strengthens EQTY’s reputation.
✅ Showcases utility – Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization is one of the most impactful blockchain use cases.
✅ Boosts visibility – Partnerships with respected institutions and artists generate global attention.
✅ Empowers the DAO in progress – Demonstrates that community governance leads to tangible results.
The DAO in progress requests that Rick Schmitz:
Authorize the EQTY team to dedicate a portion of team reserves for:
| Goal | Expected Outcome | |------|------------------| | 🏠 RWA Adoption | Tokenization of European real-estate projects | | 🌐 Brand Credibility | Demonstrated delivery of announced partnerships | | 📊 Ecosystem Growth | Attraction of new developers and investors | | 🤝 Community Engagement | Increased trust and participation | | 📣 Public Visibility | Major media exposure for EQTY’s DAO transition |
The AKRE partnership is one of EQTY’s strongest real-world validation points — a project that bridges institutional real estate, blockchain, and DeFi.
Reactivating it, alongside Klibansky’s creative initiative, will elevate EQTY as the ultimate intersection of finance, art, and technology.
This proposal is a statement of continuity, credibility, and execution — proof that EQTY delivers on its promises and turns vision into reality.
