An innovative apocalyptic-themed Solana-based NFT project is set to make waves by selling 100,000 virtual tokens for the purpose of acquiring a historic Cold War nuclear bunker located in Rutland, England. This unique initiative creatively merges virtual ownership with physical real estate, potentially paving the way for new trends within blockchain communities.
The creators of the NFT collection known as Meatbags, under the banner of a project called Dead Bruv, have announced plans to mint the tokens starting April 21. Each token will initially cost $14, and current Meatbags holders will benefit from an exciting airdrop of 10,000 tokens, while an additional 90,000 will be available for public purchase.
The former nuclear bunker, spanning 1.4 acres next to an old reservoir, has been listed by SDL Property Auctions with a guide price of £650,000 (approximately $862,257). The auction is slated for April 24, cleverly coinciding with the NFT token minting.
Token holders will gain access to the exclusive Billionaire Bunker Club, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that will oversee decisions on the bunker’s usage if the project successfully achieves its buyout target. This framework offers participants a chance to be part of a fully decentralized and community-governed real-world asset on blockchain.
As outlined by Robert, the pseudonymous founder of Dead Bruv, the project originally started as a joke reflecting a desire to bring joy back to the NFT space. With his vision, he aims to take a creative plunge into uncharted territories of the Web3 landscape, blending risk with fun. “We’re making history with this one… Pushing the boundaries of what this can be,” he remarked.
Should the purchase proceed, the Meatbags community has brainstormed various intriguing uses for the bunker, ranging from a members-only survival resort featuring a doomsday DJ, to an Airbnb offering caviar tastings alongside canned bean room service. These proposals highlight the creative potential of community-driven projects in the burgeoning NFT market.
This pioneering project not only aims to secure a unique physical asset but also embodies the exciting intersection of virtual space with real-world applications. As these sales approach, the world will eagerly watch how this audacious venture unfolds.
