ConstitutionDAO However for the Apocalypse: Solana NFT Challenge Goals to Purchase Nuclear Bunker

The creators of doomsday-themed Solana venture Meatbags hope to buy a nuclear bunker constructed throughout the Chilly Warfare in Rutland, England. To do that, 100,000 Billionaire Bunker Membership NFTs shall be provided on the market at $14 a pop in an try to boost $1.4 million, with NFT holders forming a decentralized autonomous group or DAO collective that can vote on what to do with the property.

The location spans 1.4 acres with a nuclear bunker and former reservoir, in line with SDL Property Auctions, and was in-built 1960 to behave as a British Royal Observer Corps (ROC) Chilly Warfare monitoring put up. This was one in all 1,500 underground monitoring posts constructed throughout the UK, throughout a time of heightened worry of nuclear struggle. 

Planning permission has already been secured for the positioning by its present house owners to show it right into a luxurious residence with two flooring of “cathedral-type ceilings,” a big glass frontage, and views throughout the Leicestershire countryside. Meatbags claims to have an estimate on how a lot these plans will price, and the workforce has factored this into the NFT elevating worth.

The try remembers the well-publicized effort from ConstitutionDAO, which shaped in late 2021 in an try and buy a replica of the U.S. Structure at public sale.

Regardless of elevating about $47 million to additional such goals, the DAO didn’t win the public sale, dropping out to billionaire Citadel CEO Ken Griffin. ConstitutionDAO finally refunded its individuals, which Meatbags has additionally pledged to do if it could possibly’t safe the aforementioned bunker or an alternate web site inside six months of its bid being rejected.

However different DAO-driven efforts have had extra success fulfilling their goals—resembling LinksDAO, which bought the Spey Bay Golf Membership in Scotland in 2023 and is overhauling the positioning.

Robert, the pseudonymous co-founder and CEO of Meatbags creator Lifeless Bruv, informed Decrypt that the workforce has scoped out a few options already, a few of that are additionally in the UK—however they’re open to touchdown a web site elsewhere, too.

“We’re assured we’ll be capable to get our arms on a bunker,” he added.

If the Meatbags collective efficiently purchases the property as the results of the upcoming “Purchase the Bunker” marketing campaign, it’ll permit the newly shaped DAO to vote on what shall be achieved with the property.

“I assume the concept could be to have the ability to have folks come to the property, keep on it. Both I believe it’ll flip right into a vacationer attraction, or I believe it may additionally go down the route of being an insane property on Airbnb,” Robert informed Decrypt. “In the end, it’ll come all the way down to what the DAO votes [for].”

Meatbags is a narrative-driven NFT venture about doomsday preppers residing in a world that’s coming to an finish, known as Surviville, which mirrors real-world issues like struggle tensions, international pandemics, and the rise of highly effective AI. As such, the group already has its toe on the planet of doomsday prepping—so there’s an opportunity the DAO may vote to make use of the property as a useful bunker if the worst was to occur.



Except for taking part within the DAO, Billionaire Bunker Membership holders will even obtain an on-chain land deed verifying that they personal a share of the bunker, and shall be invited to a gap get together.

Robert claims to have reached out to the auctioneers by way of e-mail and stated they seem open to the NFT venture shopping for the property. SDL Property Auctions didn’t reply to Decrypt’s request for remark.

The location is at present listed for a information worth of over £650,000 (or about $862,000) plus charges. Meatbags goals to boost $1.4 million so it could possibly additionally refurbish the place, create wiggle room for negotiating, and pay administration, working, and authorized charges incurred all through the marketing campaign. The DAO will vote on how any remaining funds shall be used.

ConstitutionDAO fell wanting its personal objective, and trying to promote 100,000 NFTs in 2025 at any worth would possibly look like a Herculean process. Even so, the workforce is assured in its probabilities to drag this off.

“I’m about as optimistic as you might be when betting on crypto and the apocalypse on the identical time,” pseudonymous co-founder and artistic director Psychrome informed Decrypt.
