The Trump administration is reportedly considering a postwar plan in Gaza that proposes using tokenized land and digital tokens to relocate and regenerate residents under a potential US takeover.
The Washington Post reported on Sunday that it will see its postwar Gaza 38-page prospectus support Palestinian territory for at least a decade as it is called Gaza's reconstruction, economic acceleration and trust in change (great trust).
It will replace 2 million Gazan with a “voluntary” program and provide specialized tokens of land that can be redeemed for apartments later for relocation in one of the up to eight planned “smart cities” or elsewhere. Their temporary housing and food will be subsidized for up to four years under the plan.
The proposal has already attracted criticism, with Muslim civil rights groups saying “the acquisition of Gaza via digital token schemes and mass theft of Palestinian lands will not only be morally abomination and illegal under international law, but also become a historic proportion of war crimes.”
The Washington Post reported that the latest proposal was created by people who spun the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which distributes food in Gaza.
The Post reported that two people familiar with the plan said key elements of the plan have been created to implement US President Donald Trump's Gaza plan. Still, it is unclear whether the plan is what Trump imagined or considered.

Plan to put Gaza on the blockchain after the war
The prospectus promotes “innovative funding model,” using land trust and “developing a blockchain registry of land and tokenization to increase liquidity.”
Use the blockchain to tokenize Gaza, “as a record of ownership,” and divide the land into tokens to allow for “fractional ownership.”
Tokens are sold to investors and used to fund “reconstruction and humanitarian efforts” and are offered in the secondary market for crypto users to infer “all token transactions (records) in the blockchain register.”
The landowners of Gazan will be given cash in the strip and tokens to be redeemed for apartments to hand over the land. Each Palestinian leaving the territory will receive $5,000 a year, four years of rent subsidies and food.

The return of the plan reads “it could potentially be reinvested in a new, dedicated Palestinian wealth fund for future Gazan profits,” but it says it would be more profitable if it could be argued that the plan was $23,000 if it could be increased in the number of Gazanians leaving the territory.
AI-powered “smart city” built on war-torn strips
The circulating prospectus will reportedly see all services and their economy be rebuilt in six to eight “modern and AI-powered smart planned cities” that run on “ID-based, AI-powered digital systems.”
We are also planning 10 “megaprojects” including ports, highways, railroads, AI data centres, Dubai-style artificial resort islands, and the so-called “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone.”
The blockchain-injected plan comes as President Donald Trump and his family deepen their ties with the crypto industry after Trump said in February that he should “take over” Gaza to become the “Middle Eastern Riviera.”
