Maritime DAO unites ship tokenization, transparent vessel management, and AI-powered inspection into one governed ecosystem — open to every seafarer and global citizen from €200.
Maritime DAO is not a single platform — it is an interconnected system where each product strengthens the others.
The engine of the Maritime DAO ecosystem. Here ships are tokenised into investable assets, bought and resold on the secondary market, and token-holders vote on fleet decisions. As vessels generate revenue, earnings are distributed on-chain directly to token-holders — participation in real maritime cash flows, governed by the community.
Enter DAO → 02Meet the fleet. This is where we show you exactly how we manage real ships — vessel profiles, operational data, maintenance standards, crew, and revenue performance. No black boxes. Understanding how your asset works is the foundation of trust.
View Our Ships → 03ShipCheckAI — intelligent automated vessel inspection tool. AI-driven condition reports, risk scoring, and survey workflows for the modern maritime industry.
Launch SCAI → 04The utility & governance token of Maritime DAO. Earned by seafarers through verified ShipCheckAI inspections — bounties from 15 to 5,000 $MARGOT across four tiers. Stake to unlock higher tiers. Held by people who do the work — not by passive investors.
How to Earn $MARGOT →Everything you need to understand Maritime DAO — market thesis, ecosystem architecture, team, tokenomics, and investment pipeline. For users, investors, and partners.
Maritime DAO structures tokenised investments into real operational ships — making maritime assets accessible to seafarers and investors worldwide. We standardise investment instruments, provide yield tracking, and create a liquidity layer over a historically locked asset class.
We begin with a single real operational vessel — testing legal frameworks, technology stack, and full investor flows before scaling to a global asset platform. This is proof-of-concept grounded in real maritime revenue.
Digi Creative SIA — operational Baltic service vessel with an established revenue history and proven operational track record in demanding Nordic conditions.
Transparent legal framework — understand the regulatory structure, SPV architecture, token classification, and access all official documentation.
Maritime DAO operates within a clear legal framework designed for investor protection and regulatory compliance. All investments are structured through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) registered in the EU. Token classification follows MiCA guidelines.
Maritime DAO entities are incorporated in Latvia (EU). All SPVs are separately registered, ring-fencing individual vessel investments. Investor funds never commingle across vessels.
$MARGOT is classified as a Title II crypto-asset (utility & governance token) under MiCA (Regulation EU 2023/1114) — not an asset-referenced token, not an e-money token, and not a financial instrument under MiFID II. It has no NAV, no yield, no peg, and no asset backing. Maritime DAO's ship investment bonds (e.g. LOTOSS Bonds) are a separate EU-regulated offering, operationally and legally segregated from $MARGOT.
All investor agreements include: clear exit provisions, quarterly audited financial statements, independent trustee oversight, and on-chain transparency of all fund flows.
All participants undergo full KYC/AML verification. Maritime DAO complies with FATF guidelines and EU AML directives. Onboarding is digital but fully compliant.
