At Terramatris, we are always exploring opportunities that align with our values of innovation, independence, and forward-thinking. Sometimes, these discoveries come through structured research, and sometimes they appear unexpectedly. Our recent investment into Liberland Dollar (LLD) belongs to the second category — a pleasant surprise during our ongoing research into projects that combine crypto innovation with strong community values.
Over the past year, we’ve attended few crypto-related meetups and brunches in Tbilisi, Georgia, a city that has become a lively hub for blockchain conversations. At nearly every event, we’ve run into Samuela, an enthusiastic Czech representative of Liberland, who passionately shares updates about the micronation and its ambitions.
At one of our recent gatherings, Sam shared some updates about Liberland. While going through them, we discovered that Liberland has its own native token — the Liberland Dollar (LLD). That revelation was the spark that pushed us to take a closer look.
What is Liberland?
Liberland, officially known as the Free Republic of Liberland, is a self-proclaimed micronation founded in 2015 by Czech politician Vít Jedlička. It is located in a small piece of no man’s land between Croatia and Serbia, on the west bank of the Danube River.
This territory, historically unclaimed due to border disputes, became a unique opportunity for Liberland to establish itself as a symbol of freedom, minimal governance, and voluntary cooperation. While not officially recognized as a sovereign state by the UN, Liberland has built an active community of supporters worldwide, with ambassadors, representatives, and even its own crypto-driven economy.
The Liberland Dollar (LLD) is part of that vision. It reflects not only an attempt to build an alternative economic system but also a way for supporters to engage with Liberland’s ideals directly through decentralized finance.
At Terramatris, we don’t shy away from unconventional projects. We believe that innovation often comes from unexpected corners. What sold us on LLD was a combination of factors:
- Shared values: Liberland promotes freedom, independence, and voluntary participation — ideas that resonate with the principles of decentralized finance.
- Unexpected discovery: Learning about LLD firsthand from Sam was a reminder that the crypto world is full of hidden gems waiting to be explored.
- DEX availability: Finding out that LLD is already available on Raydium AMM, a Solana-based decentralized exchange, made us even more excited. A true DEX-first token aligns perfectly with our preference for decentralized investments.
This is not a capital-intensive investment for us. Instead, we see it as a supportive, fun, and value-sharing step. At this stage, our goal is to accumulate no less than 100 LLD tokens — a symbolic position that signals our support for Liberland’s vision while keeping exposure modest.
We believe in staying open to diverse projects, and while LLD may not become a cornerstone of our portfolio, it represents an important part of our ongoing research into alternative economies and governance models.
Liberland Dollar is more than just a token; it is a fascinating experiment in combining political ideals, territorial claims, and blockchain technology.
Sometimes the best investments are not measured only by financial return but also by the value of being part of a shared vision. With LLD, we’ve found exactly that.
