The PunkWhales Club is changing the way we think when it comes to NFT and real life applications.

NFT (Non-Fungible Token) technology is booming and often newbies ask what does NFT do and how is it worth so much? Though the NFT momentum started with digital arts, NFTs are now expanding in multiple directions including exclusive membership to communities like the Flyfish Club. As blockchain and NFTs continue to evolve, more and more real life usages are popping up in many different industries. With the PunkWhales Club, it is redefining the high end exclusive members-only lifestyle club in an exciting new way and providing real world utility for NFT holders that the world has never seen.

The lifestyle club industry markets a lot of stuff such as food and drinks, but even more so, it sells the experience. PunkWhales Club is a members-only club building the perfect gathering place for lovers of culture and the arts, the PunkWhales Club provides an exquisite setting for formal business meetings, lunches and dinners or a simple meet up session over coffee or drinks. It is not your usual club just for everyone, it sells exclusivity.

PunkWhales Club is the first ever decentralized members-only private lifestyle club in Asia. Rather than the traditional recurring membership fee model, the PunkWhales Club is swimming in new waters by requiring that members hold an NFT to gain entry.

By providing an actual asset that represents membership at the Club (the NFT), the PunkWhales Club has transformed a mere membership into an asset that has potential to grow, without compromising any utilities. Members of PunkWhales Club not only enjoy the exclusivity, the social clout, and the upscale atmosphere that private members club carry, but they also don’t have to continually pay membership fees or every year. In addition, there will be a membership leasing function that may provide members the opportunity to monetize their memberships. PunkWhales Club is redefining what membership means — it is also its own tradable asset, not just an expense.

This is a refreshing news from an NFT standpoint because most NFT projects so far have not created much utilities other than the digital art’s appreciation in value. PunkWhales Club is a project that’s being created by a team of proven businessmen and it’s backed by multiple ACTUAL businesses that is creating REAL WORLD utility.

Membership is broken into two types: the PUNKWHALES BLUE Membership and the PUNKWHALES PRIVATE Membership. The PunkWhale tokens ($PUNKWHALES) serves as a payment method to the cocktail lounge (where no reservation is required), cafe the main dining area and other Club facilities and services including VIP concierge service.
