Patent number: 11803849Abstract: The invention teaches a decentralized autonomous organization (“DAO”) that manages a network of micro home businesses via a secure communication environment. A service provider curates active and passive income opportunities and provides training courses for worker users. A worker user selects a home configured to enable their preferred income opportunities then applies for a mortgage. The mortgage is pre-approved then a bridge loan is provided for construction. After construction is completed, the mortgage retires the bridge loan. Then the worker user occupies the home business and generates active and passive income to pay off the mortgage. Each micro home business is a node in the DAO. The DAO is maintained through competitive bids from service provider users. Disputes are resolved by arbitrator users. The internet of things is used to enable proactive maintenance.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Inventor: Mark Lawrence
