The NFT for OG Solana adopters

If you found this site, you're an early adopter of Solana and NFTs. Give yourself a pat on the back 👏

Club Sol is a community for early adopters. Members get status and perks. Mint a membership card to join the club.

Club Sol Membership Card

Welcome to the club

Club Sol is an exclusive association for Solana investors.

Every month, we mint a new membership card. When the month ends, we stop minting membership cards for that month.

That makes the December membership card rare. If you own one, that means you minted it early, or you paid a premium for the status symbol.

Club Sol's philosophy is that anyone can join. That's why membership cards will always mint at an affordable fiat price. However, we believe early joiners should get recognized for taking a calculated bet.

Calendars

Benefits

Your membership card proves how early you joined Club Sol. It represents the bet you took on the Solana ecosystem in its infancy. It gives you perks like early access and discounts.

The earlier you join, the more credibility you have as a crypto investor.

An early membership card gives you tangible, provable bragging rights when Solana moons.

In one year, five years, ten years -- the number of NFT buyers will explode. In a metaverse where NFTs are commonplace, status is the currency to stand out.

When we reach a critical mass, we'll partner with other projects and builders to give Club Sol members early access to NFT drops and discounts.

API

We developed an API to validate whether a wallet holds a membership card NFT, and which membership card it owns.

Manifesto

Club Sol is currently built by a one-person team. My goal is to bring NFTs into the mainstream.

My building principles are:
  • Access for all: All 6B people in the world with a smartphone should be able to own an NFT. I aim to lower the barriers to NFT ownership as much as possible.
  • Low cost: Other NFTs mint for hundreds of USD, which is inaccessible to the vast majority of people. Club Sol NFTs will mint for a low fiat price.
  • Real utility: I don't want to build a purely speculative asset. We won't get widespread adoption of NFTs if we leave out people who can't afford to make risky investments. At the same time, I firmly believe early joiners should get rewarded for their early bet. To reconcile those two ideas, I'll make sure that the NFT has real utility for ownership.
  • Bootstrapped: To keep costs of the NFT low, I need to keep costs of the production low. As a result, I'm bootstrapping the business and doing development, marketing, and design by myself. When Club Sol gains traction, I'll hire a designer.

About me: I'm a staff software engineer based in San Francisco, CA. In my 10+ year career, I've worked across startups and large public companies. I'm an avid crypto investor. I love to build 🔨
