NFT-based Transferable Memberships

Utilize NFTs to represent club or experience memberships, allowing for programmatic transferability and value capture for both the member and the club. This addresses the desire for secondary market liquidity while maintaining control for the institution.

Why now

The maturation of NFT technology, growing acceptance of digital assets, and the need for new revenue streams and engagement models for exclusive clubs post-pandemic. The crypto 'crash' also means a focus on utility over speculation.

Market gap

Lack of a standardized, legally robust, and user-friendly platform for clubs to offer NFT-based transferable memberships with built-in secondary market rules.
