What is Been there?the first digital souvenirs

 

People don’t only fall in love with each other — we also fall in love with places. Whether it's our home, a favorite vacation spot, or the site of a special memory, we all feel connected to places in the physical world around us. 

For many years, people have bought souvenirs and mementos to remember these special places, from snowglobes to shot glasses. Sadly, many of these knick-knacks end up being forgotten, collecting dust on a shelf in our bedrooms, or worse, filling a landfill. 

Fast-forwarding to the 21st century, it’s time to rethink the way we commemorate our favorite places, leveraging the power of Web3 to build a better souvenir.  

Our NFTs feature hand-crafted art, perks that pay dividends for years to come, and the opportunity to give back to the places we love most. Unlike traditional souvenirs, these digital souvenirs have a lasting impact, both on the holder and the location they love.

The Roadmapour plans

We are launching in 2022 with four separate collections spanning the states and territories of the United States: the Coastal Collection, the Mountain Collection, the Heartland Collection, and the Frontier Collection. Each collection will be launched on a separate date, and minters will have the option to choose a specific state when minting. 

The supply of NFTs for each state will be extremely limited, ranging from 50 to 150 NFTs based on population size. Each collection will have a distinct look and feel, though all will be recognizable as a part of the Been There brand. 

In total, the USA Collection will have 5,000 NFTs.

  • We are dividing proceeds from Been There NFTs, both from the initial mint and royalties, amongst three buckets:

    40% goes to support a charity serving the location depicted on the NFT (more on how we choose charities below)

    40% goes to the community fund

    20% goes to support our team and artists

  • We are targeting June 2022 for the launch of our first batch of NFTs, the Mountain Collection. We will continue to introduce new collections and locations throughout 2022 and beyond.

  • The holders of each NFT will get to choose! Within 24 hours of the initial mint, members of our holders-only Discord channel will get to vote from a selection of charities. The charity with the most votes will be the beneficiary of revenues from that NFT going forward. These will always be 501c3 certified charitable organizations (or equivalent outside of the U.S.).

  • While we are starting with U.S. states and territories, this is just the beginning. We can’t wait to share what we have planned.

  • Been There NFTs are the souvenirs that keep on giving, both to local communities and the holders themselves. Our community fund will offer holders several important benefits:

    • Periodic, IRL reminders of the places they love (i.e. local treats or delicacies)

    • Tickets and access to events on location (first dibs to those holding the location’s NFT, then to be offered to greater Been There community)

    • Travel giveaways

    • Much more…
