Non-fungible tokens took the world by storm in early 2021, and the winds have not yet died down nearly one year later. Since then, the success of established projects has inspired more people to develop their own NFTs, with the majority of projects utilizing an animal theme with digital art. Although they take up most of the NFT space, some projects are looking to break away from the mold. Joining the frontline in this movement is Elysium Club.
Elysium Club is a collection of 6,888 generative chests that take inspiration from Greek mythology. The project is more utility-driven compared to others that focus on producing digital art to rake in more audience. Elysium strives to take NFTs to the next level by giving holders a unique experience and pass to a life of luxury.
“Our NFT is more than an image, more than a chest, more than a line of code; it is a bridge, a bridge for all to cross, exclusive only to the most curious—the visionaries,” described the project developers. “Owning a piece of our collection is like owning the right to live a new life: clean, modern, sharp, exciting. It is a blank slate, a clean chapter, welcoming and beaconing to all those who need it.”
The project was built on a simple yet powerful idea to create a new business model that combines fractional ownership, traditional membership systems, and blockchain technology to provide holders with a “millionaire” lifestyle. The team behind this progressive crypto asset intends to utilize the benefits of blockchain to the mainstream and attract crypto and non-crypto users by leveraging lifestyles that will empower them in the crypto and NFT space.
The Elysium Club founders designed their NFTs to resemble treasure chests. Although the majority of NFT projects have used 2D cartoon-style images, the Elysian Chest NFTs are rendered in a 3D style to reflect the richness of the project’s potential.
Chest holders (called “Elysians”) will gain access to various luxury experiences with the NFT. Once minted, the NFT will automatically enroll them to receive Priority Pass membership, giving them access to more than 1,300 premium airport lounges across the world. The holders will also be able to book luxury apartment stays in cities worldwide. Holders also don’t have to worry too much about travel access as their pass will also give them access to chartered jet flights across the globe. The utilities are only the tip of the iceberg for the project’s plans, along with exclusive events in various cities around the world and metaverses.
As the project continues its progress, holders will see the Elysium Club take its utilities even further with free luxury car rentals, free commercial flights, and experiences with the team, to name a few. Holders will also have access to booking chartered private jet flights all around the world courtesy of AirCharter, but first slots will be available for Legendary and Super Rare NFTs.
The collection has already sent holders out on a week-long charter in the Maldives with their partner Super Yachts Monaco. Additionally, it hosted its first party at the esteemed Cardozo Hotel in Miami, which holders are still buzzing about to this day. With 2022 still in its early days, the NFT project will be unraveling more plans that will not only excite holders but also revolutionize the NFT and crypto space altogether.
