Introducing Dayaway's Founder's Key: World's First Nft Membership Unlocking Exclusive Experience

SINGAPORE - Jan. 12, 2023 - PRLog -- Imagine an NFT that allows you to enjoy privileges in the real world from the day you acquire it, while offering all the advantages of digital ownership. Think of a blockchain-powered membership that offers founder-level access to a wide range of luxury experiences and events curated by the world's most iconic brands.

This is the vision behind DayAway's Founder's Key NFT, the first and only NFT membership granting immediate and exclusive access to a new era of token gated in-real-life experiences and utilities. Unlike other NFT projects, Founder's Key holders enjoy the value of their membership today, not tomorrow.

Created by DayAway, the world's leading online destination for guests to discover and book curated luxury experiences, the Founder's Key is a collection of 500 limited-edition NFTs that will unlock a wide range of experiences and VIP benefits from hospitality, travel, retail, wellness and F&B brands worldwide. It represents the highest, most exclusive tier of DayAway's membership and loyalty program.  The Founder's Key will mint January 12, and can be found exclusively on OpenSea:

Public Mint: January 12 at 5pm PST
Allowlist: January 12 at 4pm PST (join the Allowlist here)

The Founder's Key is also the first NFT collection ever to come with a buy back guarantee. DayAway will buy back the NFT from any primary purchaser who wishes to return their membership for the full mint price of US$2,500.

"Guaranteeing the value of our Founder's Key is critical to protecting the brand integrity of our luxury partners and ensuring that we maintain a high-quality community of like-minded travel and lifestyle enthusiasts.  The more engaged our community is, and the more they actually use their Founder's Keys, the more exclusive experiences, benefits and incentives we can negotiate on our community's behalf with our portfolio of Web2 partners."

DayAway has already announced global partnerships with Little Emperors, the elite London-based travel membership platform offering luxury benefits, experiences, and incentives at over 4,000 hotels worldwide, and Heli, the ultra-curated adventure travel company based in New York City.

Advisors on the launch of DayAway's Genesis NFT Collection include Metaversal, a CoinFund and Dapper Labs backed venture studio and investment firm focused on NFTs, David Waslen, Co-Founder of the eagerly anticipated metaverse project Wilder World, General Partner at Scenius Capital and Founder & CEO of Accretive, a global Web3 investment and advisory firm, Jeremy Fall, celebrity chef, Web3 opinion leader and Founder of the exclusive Web3 community Golden Egg Club, and OpenSea, the world's leading peer-to-peer marketplace for NFTs.

Priced at US$2,500, each Founder's Key offers a wealth of in-real-life experiences, benefits, incentives, discounts, and upgrades via DayAway's seamless and proprietary token gate.

Some of the most coveted utilities include a Lifetime DayAway Platinum Membership worth US$500 per year, complimentary use of the DayAway Diamond Concierge, as well as a free NFT from all future DayAway NFT drops and collections. Founder's Key holders will also receive airdrops of every future DayAway NFT collection ever released.

Founder's Key holders will also enjoy benefits from DayAway's myriad partners including savings of 10% off the best available rate on overnight stays at Raffles Hotel Singapore, 15% off all Raffles Spa treatments, 10% off The Mandala Group's villas and chalets, 20% off Codigo Tequila, a complimentary Friends of Little Emperors membership that comes with benefits and best available rates at over 4,000 hotels globally, and many more.

"Gone are the days of traditional loyalty programs and the antiquated points system. With a Founder's Key, membership and participation in DayAway's loyalty program will become an actual tradable, transferable asset, not just a paid subscription. As DayAway continues to expand internationally — with more partners, more experiences and more benefits — Founder's Key holders will continuously be gifted more real-world access and utilities including invitations to exclusive events, discounts, promotions, and upgrades," says DayAway Founder & CEO, Martha Waslen.

The highly anticipated Founder's Key launch comes concurrently with DayAway's expansion beyond curated daytime packages at luxury hotels to experiences such as private sailing escapes, tastings at Michelin-starred restaurants, VIP shopping experiences and unique masterclasses.

In addition to the Founder's Key, DayAway will also introduce further NFT drops including other market and partnership-specific collections, as well as highly exclusive Bucket List NFTs, a series of once-in-a-lifetime, money-can't-buy experiences designed in partnership with the world's most iconic brands that will be sold at auction as 1:1 NFTs.

Leading DayAway's Web3 transition is Martha Waslen, who has harnessed her expertise in building luxury brands in the digital sphere. The business leader and sought-after speaker is an advocate for helping businesses extend their brand marketing and customer engagement initiatives by leveraging innovative tech solutions through NFTs and virtual experiences.
