CowDAO is a decentralized Real-World Assets lending solution. It is built with SRWA protocol, on top of the Radix network.

While SRWA provides decentralized software, CowDAO focuses on a specific industry and community - Pasture-based Animal Agriculture in New Zealand.

We unite our domain expertise. We connect experience in software engineering with a proven, substantial increase in feed production. 

The farming community needs new finance models, and CowDAO is a solution.

This document proposes that solution. Our goal is to launch CowDAO in 2023.
