8. LINKSDAO
For hitting the green with its next-gen golf club membership
LinksDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization that launched on January 1, 2022, lets golf enthusiasts congregate virtually — and ultimately in person — via an NFT-powered reinvention of both the country club membership and a Web3 project with enduring real-world value. The DAO sold more than 9,000 memberships in its first 24 hours, raising $11 million and fueling speculation that it could achieve its audacious goal of ultimately building its own real-world golf course. (LinksDAO was formed in the wake of the near-miss attempt by a DAO to buy a copy of the U.S. Constitution.) As the group continues to explore that possibility, it’s become a global club, adding a pro shop in March with discounts for members from more than two dozen partners, including Callaway and TopGolf. In August, it partnered with IMG Prestige, giving LinksDAO holders access to a network of more than 200 elite courses worldwide. At the end of 2022, it introduced a member-to-member reciprocity program whereby LinksDAO global members could request rounds with fellow pass holders at approximately 50 private courses from California to Scotland.
Thank you to everyone in the community and Links members for helping make this possible! Huge things to come in 2023.
