# NFT Land Plots

In the SmartPlaces ecosystem, NFT land plots not only strengthen the emerging phygital world, but also provide users a unique opportunity to own virtual representations of real-world locations.

* **Real-world representation:** Each NFT land plot corresponds to a specific geographical location in the real world. This digital ownership reflects a new dimension of property rights in virtual space, closely tied to physical locales.
* **Land plot holders (aka Pioneers):** Users who hold these NFT land plots are known as Pioneers. They are more than just digital asset holders; they are visionaries and key stakeholders in the SmartPlaces ecosystem. Their role extends beyond ownership; they actively participate in shaping the landscape of their respective land plots.
* **Active development of land plots:** Pioneers have the capacity to shape and develop their land plots. This includes:
  * Providing useful information: Increasing the value of their land plot by offering insights, historical facts, or other relevant information about the area.
  * Onboarding new businesses: Inviting and integrating local businesses into the SmartPlaces platform, and thus creating a more dynamic and interconnected ecosystem.
  * Points of interests: Incorporating points of interest (POI) or sharing individual content to attract users to visit specific locations physically.
* **Community building and governance:** Owning an NFT land plot and $SPXT token empower Pioneers to actively participate in community building and decision-making processes within SmartPlaces. They contribute to governance by representing the interests of their geographic area and shaping the platform.
* **Benefiting from value creation:** Pioneers receive a share of the value generated within their land plot.
  * Social activity: Rewards for earnings from data generated through user activity in their geographic area.
  * Inviting and promotin&#x67;*:* Rewards for inviting and welcoming new users to the platform.
  * Share of generated revenues: Owners of land plot NFTs can access a separate revenue stream known as the ‘Business Provision Program’, offering participants the opportunity to receive a share of revenue generated on the land plots. This program is outlined in individual agreements with each participant.
* **Long-term engagement and appreciation:** NFT land plots represent not only a novel form of digital ownership but also a potential long-term engagement opportunity. As the SmartPlaces ecosystem expands and real-world locations gain popularity and utility, the value of these plots can increase in proportion to the overall activities and engagement.
* **Sustainable and ethical development:** SmartPlaces encourages Pioneers to adopt sustainable and ethical practices in developing their land plots, aligning with the platform’s commitment to social responsibility and environmental consciousness.
