Inside the A0K1VERSE Passport

A DEEP DIVE INTO SUPERSTAR DJ, ENTREPRENEUR AND NFT INNOVATOR STEVE AOKI'S NFT MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY


Superstar DJ, music producer, entrepreneur, and NFT innovator Steve Aoki (@SteveAoki) is combining an entire career's worth of his relationships, music, art, and experience into an all-encompassing exclusive membership for his Web3 community: welcome to the A0K1VERSE (@A0K1VERSE).

The two core building blocks of the A0K1VERSE are A0K1 Credits and the A0K1VERSE Passport. An A0K1VERSE citizen can burn Credits to create their first Passport or level up an existing Passport. Passport holders gain access to everything the A0K1VERSE has to offer - VIP access to performances, free mints on exclusive NFTs, invites to friend & family perks, special event tickets and physical & digital collectibles along with an array of real world and metaverse experiences all token-gated through this exclusive membership.

A0K1 Credits are ERC-1155 NFTs with a total supply cap of 50,000 tokens. At launch, in March 2022, Steve's existing NFT holders received free Credits and select friends and family projects including 3LAU collectors, Adam Bomb Squad, Doodles, 0N1 Force, Invisible Friends, Deadfellaz, Time Pieces, Phantabear, Doge Pound and many others had pre-sale access to Credits. A portion of credits were reserved for partnerships and future giveaways, and the remainder were made available via a public sale.

The Passport is the A0K1VERSE's central functionality, developed in partnership with Manifold. It is a revolutionary NFT that dynamically evolves over time. A0K1 Passports are obtained by redeeming various amounts of A0K1 Credits, allowing users to upgrade their Passports for increased reward tiers ranging from pre-sale access to NFT releases to in-person meets with Steve himself.

As Passport holders engage with different experiences in A0K1VERSE (attending concerts, joining the Discord, etc), their Passport gets dynamically updated (i.e. stamped) to showcase their participation and achievements in the A0K1VERSE as well as with partner communities.

The Passport enables citizens of the A0K1VERSE to access Passport-gated experiences across six levels. Each level can be upgraded by burning Credits up to the top level of Prizm.

Counting over 4 billion music streams to his name, Steve Aoki is a true multiplatform visionary. Billboard described the 2x-GRAMMY-Nominated artist/DJ/producer and Dim Mak Records founder as “one of the most in-demand entertainers in the world.” As a long-time collector and "an unabashed futurist" (Fortune), Aoki has been at the forefront with his NFT collaborations, generating over $4 million with the launch of his first NFT, the Dream Catcher series. He also co-created the first blockchain-based episodic series with Dominion X (@DominionX_NFT), partnered with Sotheby's on their Contemporary Curated series, and recently partnered with comic book legend Todd McFarlane to create OddKey, an NFT marketplace on the Solana blockchain for comic artists to freely showcase and sell their original digital artwork. He was recognized as one of NFTNOW's ‘NFT100’ for 2022 and featured in Fortune as one of the 50 most important people in NFTs.
