Are you telling me that this court is an NFT?

About a year ago a small community of NBA lovers got together in a Discord group and started asking themselves, “Is it possible to own and operate an NBA franchise?

During this time, Krause House has collaborated with owners, players, agents, and different projects. Many proposals have been created and voted on in Snapshot, tokens have been distributed to contributors and grants have been given to projects that have helped get Krause House where it is.

Decentralized governance is a term that still has a long way to go. At Krause House we are in a credibility phase. Our short-term goal is to demonstrate to thousands of fans the benefits that Web3 has to offer.

Membership

In this article, we explain what a DAO is and how Krause House is positioning itself as the leading DAO in sports.

Now the next question is, how do I become a member so I can vote and decide the future of Krause House? And the answer is through the KRAUSE token and through the two NFT collections that Krause House has created; Krause Court NFT and Genesis Collection.

Krause Court NFT

We’ve designed a full-size basketball court in collaboration with 25 amazing artists!

Our love for the game of basketball has led us to create this totally historic collection of NFTs. Our goal was to bring something to the world that neither the world of sports nor the world of web3 had ever seen.

For our friends at Crypto, we wanted to share a new app for Web3: The fractionation of a full-size physical basketball court curated by 25 different artists.

For basketball and sports fanatics, we wanted to not only introduce the concept of fractional team ownership but also create a basketball experience beyond your wildest imagination. And the best part is a frictionless experience powered by web3 technology.

The public mint launch date was June 15, 2022, (prior to the NFT.NYC) and the public mint is still live!

All the artworks were revealed at the tournament. The design was made by world-class artists. In the video below, you can watch a recap of this historical event in New York.

After the tournament, the court was broken down into 1,358 unique NFT artworks. Once minted, you not only receive a digital membership to our community but are also sent the same physical court piece that was randomly minted to you.

A portion of all NFT sales will be donated to a basketball-focused charity chosen by the community, and all artists, players, and partners will receive a % of the court’s total NFT sales for their generous time and love for this project.

People who mint an NFT Court receive:

• Physical and digital artwork.

• Membership to Krause House

• Access to gated Discord community

• IRL + URL access to Krause House events

• BIG3 “Ball Hogs” ownership participation

• Krause House & Ball Hogs merch discounts

• Allowlist for our future Krause House & partner NFT drops

• Queued for future NBA ownership positions through Krause House

This is a unique opportunity to get an NFT with incredible features and utilities that is also a digital and physical work of art, made by world-class artists!

Genesis Collection

On November 25, 2021, with the help of Seed Club and Mirror, we maxed out our Genesis Edition crowdfund by 1000 ETH!

After Mirror Crowdfund, we migrated to our own collection. In this link you will be able to know the steps on why you should migrate and how you can migrate. Migration to our own ticketing contract was inevitable to allow more control over ticketing use cases and greater interoperability with other internal protocols.

Currently the NFT Genesis collection can be found at Opensea.

The benefits for the Holders of the Genesis collection are practically the same as for the Krause NFT Court.

• Membership to Krause House

• Access to gated Discord community

• IRL + URL access to Krause House events

• BIG3 “Ball Hogs” ownership participation

• Krause House & Ball Hogs merch discounts

• Allowlist for our future Krause House & partner NFT drops

• Queued for future NBA ownership positions through Krause House

What’s next?

At Krause House we are in a credibility stage. It is a mistake to rush and want to meet the objectives too soon. We need to demonstrate success by operating as collective intelligence.

In this tweet you can see just one example of the profits that have been given to the holders.

There is no doubt that the market is not going through its best moment, while with Genesis NFT, Krause House raised almost $5m, the NFT Court collection is not yet sold out. However, we think that after this Bear Market only projects that are really useful will survive and Krause House is one of them.

KH we advocate having a winning mentality like “Black Mamba”. Web3 and NFTs represent a revolution and there is still a long way to go.

In a few years it will not be called Franchises but “fan-chises”. Fans will take back the power and create a better experience!
