About
Before we dive into what we're building, here's what we've already done
NFA.space has onboarded 1,895 artists from 79 countries and has already sold more than 2,000 artworks through its early MVP
To date, the platform has generated over $150,000 in revenue, with $5,000 in monthly recurring revenue and an average artwork price of $1,235. Notably, 12.5% of collectors have made repeat purchases, demonstrating early retention and product-market resonance.
These early results validate our thesis: culturally aligned crypto users want access to meaningful and collectible art experiences, and blockchain can make those experiences safe, accessible, and traded globally on the secondary market.

About Us
NFA.space is an on-chain initiative reimagining the cultural economy for the crypto-native era. By fusing the world of contemporary art with decentralized technology, we enable a new class of global art patrons: people who believe in the cultural and financial value of art, but until now lacked the access, capital, or infrastructure to participate.
As we explored governance models for cultural projects, we discovered that futarchy is a powerful and rational method for decision-making in art ecosystems just as much as in any Web3 organization. We believe in applying this approach to build art futarchy — a system where the community doesn't only make decisions about NFA.space itself but also shapes decisions that can transform the art world as a whole.
The NFA.space native token will be used for governance purposes, but not only as a decision-making tool; it will also be used to influence and change the art world and the art market itself. We believe that the lack of transparency in the classic/old-style art market should be resolved and redefined in 2025 with the power of Web3 and blockchain.
At its core, NFA Space allows individuals to support and collect emerging artworks using our native token, $NFA. Participants in the token launch become stakeholders in a long-term cultural movement — a movement that empowers artists directly while giving token holders curatorial influence and access to unique works.
We started our path in 2022 and conducted several research cycles that show and prove growing public interest in art investing. At the same time, we discovered that today's art investors are mainly focused on artworks priced under $500, which confirms both the mass interest and the right timing for the NFA.space idea.
Business Model of NFA Space
1. Primary Sales
- Curated physical artwork releases
- Limited edition phygital drops
- Direct collector sales
2. Curation & Artist Residency
- Artists onboarded as residents
- Revenue share model on primary sales
3. Phygital Infrastructure
- Physical artwork + on-chain certificate
- Global shipping logistics
- Authenticity verification (using worldwide Galleries partnerships)
4. Community Activation
- IRL exhibitions
- Digital drops
- Airdrops to NFT pass holders
The $NFA Token
The $NFA token will be used to:
-
Vote on strategic decisions such as residency locations, partner galleries, or which artists to onboard
-
Participate in community governance over exhibitions, grants, and artist support
-
Collect and purchase physical and digital art via our marketplace (added feature)
We believe futarchy — market-based governance — is the right model for a project rooted in taste, culture, and values. In the traditional art world, access and influence are opaque and concentrated. In NFA Space, we let the community "bet on culture": decisions will be guided by participants who believe their choices will lead to greater long-term value — cultural, reputational, and financial.
The result is an anti-gatekeeper system where proposals to fund an artist, back an exhibition, or pursue new partnerships are evaluated by a collective intelligence of supporters — not insiders. If our community believes an artist residency in Nairobi, or a collaboration with a digital sculptor, will boost the ecosystem's impact and resonance, they can bet on it. And if they're right, the token's value should reflect that success.
This approach directly serves our mission: to make art ownership and participation accessible to the crypto middle class. It can restore public faith in NFTs as a technology for meaningful ownership and show that digital culture is worth preserving.
By embracing futarchy and decentralized funding, NFA.space aims to:
- Cultivating a Living Economy: Moving beyond one-time sales to build a lasting financial ecosystem where both artists and collectors thrive together through shared growth.
- Art as Infrastructure: Redefining NFT technology not just as a tool for digital ownership, but as the very foundation of a new, transparent cultural heritage.
- Purpose over Speculation: Transforming crypto liquidity from a speculative tool into a creative force, allowing capital to flow toward genuine human expression and artistic innovation.

A Few Words from the Founders
In 2022, we looked at the intersection of art and NFTs and saw more than just a trend — we saw a profound opportunity. At that time, the world was questioning the true purpose of NFTs. There was a disconnect between the digital frontier and the timeless value of art. As founders, our mission was clear: to bridge that gap and bring authentic, lasting value to this new space.
Our journey has been one of constant growth and education. We've developed over 50 unique collections, bringing 20 of them to life in the global market. But our proudest achievement isn't just the numbers; it's the community we've built. We've had the privilege of guiding artists through the complexities of blockchain, empowering them to share their work in ways they never thought possible. At the same time, we've provided collectors with something rare: NFTs backed by real utility and soul.
Today, we continue to bridge these worlds, but we've realized that the market needs something more — a complete ecosystem.
We are building a marketplace designed to uphold the very values we stand for:
- Authenticity: Seamlessly connecting physical art with digital certificates of authenticity.
- Empowerment: Ensuring artists receive the royalties they deserve for their creative vision.
- Trust: Providing collectors with the transparency they've been searching for — a definitive, immutable record of provenance, price, and history.
The "transparency" everyone talks about? We're making it the foundation of everything we do.
Our current fundraising effort is fueled by a desire to bring this vision to life. We aren't just building a product; we are creating a solution that makes the power of blockchain accessible, meaningful, and joyful for everyone.
Thank you for believing in this journey with us.

B1 Token Transparency Filing
Voluntary transparency disclosure following the Blockworks Token Transparency initiative.
NFA.space is an RWA marketplace for physical art. We operate at the intersection of physical artworks, blockchain ownership infrastructure, and community-driven governance — enabling collectors to own, verify, and trade contemporary art beyond traditional gatekeepers.
(a) IP ownership & control — The project's intellectual property, including codebases/repos and any associated trademarks/brands, is held by a Cayman Islands SPC (Segregated Portfolio Company) formed via MetaLeX. The SPC is governed by the DAO.
(b) Contract/admin powers — Governance is fully onchain and permissionless via the MetaDAO futarchy protocol on Solana. Token holders make decisions by trading conditional outcome tokens on proposal markets. Proposals pass or fail based on market-determined price impact on the project's token. There is no multisig, council, pause/upgrade roles, or centralized admin authority — all decisions are made through futarchy (market-based governance).
(c) Locked-token rights — The price-based performance premine tokens are locked with a minimum 18-month cliff and unlock based on sustained price performance milestones. Locked token holders do not have additional governance or decision-making rights beyond what unlocked token holders have. Locked tokens cannot vote or participate in governance until unlocked.
(d) Value accrual & holder rights — Token holders govern the DAO treasury through futarchy-governed proposals. The DAO treasury funds development directly — there is no separate development company. Revenue distribution and treasury allocation decisions are made via onchain governance proposals.
(e) Dissolution authority — Dissolution of the DAO would require an onchain futarchy governance proposal passed by the market. The Cayman SPC legal wrapper can be wound up per its constitutional documents as directed by DAO governance.
Each project launched through MetaDAO Accelerated has a Cayman Islands SPC (Segregated Portfolio Company) entity formed via MetaLeX. The entity holds the project's intellectual property and is governed by the DAO. There is no separate development company — the DAO treasury funds development directly through futarchy-governed proposals.
(a) Launch supply totals — 14,900,000 total tokens at launch. 10,000,000 tokens issued to ICO participants (unlocked). 2,900,000 tokens issued as protocol-owned liquidity (locked in pools). 2,000,000 tokens allocated as a price-based performance premine (locked with minimum 18-month cliff).
(b) Recipient categories & use of funds — • ICO Participants (10,000,000 tokens): Distributed pro-rata to all participants of the permissionless ICO based on contribution. Tokens are immediately unlocked. • Protocol-Owned Liquidity (2,900,000 tokens): 2,000,000 tokens paired with 20% of funds raised through the ICO in a liquidity pool. 900,000 tokens placed in a single-sided liquidity pool on Meteora. These tokens provide onchain trading liquidity. • Team / Performance Premine (2,000,000 tokens): Allocated to the founding team, subject to price-based vesting. Tokens unlock only if sustained price performance milestones are met.
(c) Initial price per token — Determined at ICO close based on total funds raised divided by 10,000,000 ICO tokens.
(d) Ticker / market symbol — NFA
(e) Total supply & supply regime — 14,900,000 total supply. The supply is fixed — there is no inflation or deflation mechanism.
(f) Initial vesting / release schedules — ICO participant tokens and protocol liquidity tokens are not subject to vesting. The team performance premine has a minimum 18-month cliff. The allocation is divided into 5 tranches of 20% each, unlockable after a 3-month TWAP evaluation period at price multiples of 2×, 4×, 8×, 16×, and 32× relative to launch price. The TWAP oracle can be called at any time but triggers a 3-month evaluation window before tokens are released.
There are no airdrops as part of the MetaDAO Accelerated ICO process. All token distribution occurs through the permissionless ICO mechanism. Any future token distributions would need to be passed via DAO governance proposal following the ICO and are not part of this launch.
There are no market maker agreements. Liquidity is provided through the Accelerated launch mechanism's built-in liquidity pool, which receives 20% of funds raised. There are no token loans, OTC deals, or designated market maker arrangements.
There are no CEX listing agreements. The token trades onchain on Solana DEXs from the moment of launch. No listing fees have been paid, and no exchange has been granted tokens or preferential access.
Series Name: MetaDAO Presale Vehicle: MetaLex powered Cayman Segregated Portfolio Company / Segregated Portfolio Start Date of Sale: [To be determined at launch] Number of Tokens Sold: 10,000,000 NFA tokens distributed to ICO participants pro-rata based on contribution. Vesting Schedules: There are no vesting schedules for ICO participant tokens. All tokens distributed through the presale are immediately unlocked and freely transferable at the conclusion of the ICO.
There are no prior SAFTs, SAFEs, convertible notes, private placements, or other fundraising rounds preceding this launch. No tokens were sold or distributed before this presale.
