Token Utility:

$KNIGHT
Governance: CitaDAO's native token KNIGHT is used for voting and governance in the platform's decision-making process.
Real Estate Ownership: CitaDAO plans to allocate 2% of all listed real estate properties to the DAO itself, allowing token holders to gain diversified exposure to the real estate market on-chain. Holding KNIGHT will give token holders a stake in this ownership.

Demand Driver:

Value Creation:

The $KNIGHT token governs the DAO and treasury, enabling decentralized decision-making and community ownership, promoting fairness and decentralization.

Value Capture:
