The .xyz community is growing with unique NFT-focused projects. Web3 platform Mojito.xyz helps businesses and organizations create NFT marketplaces. Decentralized autonomous organization FlamingoDAO.xyz created a platform for community investing in NFTs. Ethereum-based exploration game Sipher.xyz is centered around customizable NFT characters.

In this week’s #WebsiteWednesday, we’ll introduce you to an NFT membership community created by prominent DJ and NFT enthusiast Steve Aoki: a0k1verse.xyz.

A0k1verse.xyz is the online home of a new NFT-driven membership community created by Grammy-nominated DJ Steve Aoki. Members of a0k1verse.xyz, otherwise known as citizens, can gather assorted perks, such as exclusive access to live and virtual concerts. To join, you can use Ethereum-based crypto tokens known as A0K1 Credits to redeem the A0K1VERSE Passport NFT, which serves as your personal admission ticket to the community. A0k1verse.xyz and the A0K1VERSE Passport NFT were created in collaboration with smart contract startup Manifold.xyz, which provides creators with a means to mint NFTs embedded with smart contract technology. In the summer of 2021, Steve announced his involvement with Manifold.xyz in a series of Tweets about a project called Dominion X. Steve collaborated with Stoopid Buddy Stoodios to present Dominion X, the first episodic series to launch on the blockchain¹. Dominion X was minted from a custom smart contract via Manifold.xyz with unique interactive qualities directly within the NFT.

The unique A0K1VERSE Passport NFT comes equipped with various benefits and opportunities. In addition to exclusive live and virtual concert admission, holders will gain priority access to exclusive digital collectibles, including NFTs for use in leading blockchain-based play-to-earn game Sandbox. A0K1VERSE Passport NFT holders can also be the first to hear about new music and NFT updates, acquire free a0k1verse.xyz apparel, and gain tokenized access to limited items from exclusive apparel collaborations. Each A0K1VERSE Passport NFT can be upgraded using additional A0K1 Credits. As members take part in community events and amass more A0K1 Credits, they will earn stamps in their evolving passport which can unlock access to new perks. The A0K1VERSE Passport NFT will also be interoperable with NFT projects from other creators.

Citizens of a0k1verse.xyz are helping to spread awareness of the new community by sharing their freshly minted A0K1VERSE Passport NFTs on Twitter. NFT collector MsgCrazies.Eth tweeted “Super excited about @a0k1verse. Look forward to big and better things down the road.²” The platform has encouraged promotion from their members by hosting flash contests that award a dozen free A0K1 Credits to the first citizen to set specific a0k1verse.xyz NFTs as their Twitter profile picture.

Web3 mavericks like Steve Aoki continue to use .xyz domains to bring their exciting new NFT projects to life. With the creatively spelled a0k1verse.xyz, Steve recognized that it is a good idea to register additional domains with common misspellings, or other ways people might try to type in your website. He also registered aokiverse.xyz so that anyone who types in the name phonetically will still end up on a0k1verse.xyz. You can learn more about Steve and his new NFT community by following the platform on Twitter and Discord, or by visiting a0k1verse.xyz.
