Overview
₡ABIN is our governance token, representing your voting power in community decisions. Anyone with 1000 ₡ can submit a governance proposal to the DAO. Proposals are voted on using quadratic multi-choice voting to increase equity among tokenholders. Tokenholders govern the DAO’s public treasury to grow its network of:
- Citizens: people who spend time coliving and connecting at Cabin
- Neighborhoods: independently owned and operated properties in the network
- Contributor Pods: service providers that work on improving Cabin for the benefit of its Citizens

Can I buy ₡ABIN?
Not at this time. The community could always choose to open a liquidity pool so that members could buy and sell ₡ABIN, but that would require a majority community vote.
The reason we think this is the right decision is because we don’t want any random stranger from the internet to buy ₡ABIN without genuine understanding of the vision. Folks who hold ₡ABIN should be aligned to further a mission of building a distributed city and developing neighborhoods that better enable us to create, conserve, and colive.
How do I get ₡ABIN?
There are three ways to get ₡ABIN
Citizenship: Our first 5,040 Citizens are sent 25 ₡ABIN to their wallet.
Neighborhood referrals: Folks can also earn ₡ABIN by referring neighborhoods and outposts to join the City Directory. If you know of a spot that would make for great coliving, fill out this form.
Gifts: Other Cabin members may gift ₡ABIN as thanks for exceptional contributions to the Cabin community.
