The Walters · A Membership Collection

The Founder’s Circle

Three hundred member passes, one hundred held by the house. Not art to flip — a standing invitation. The Founder's Circle is your access to The Walters, from private events today to our permanent bar tomorrow.

The idea

A pass to The Walters — not a jpeg.

We took the model that works — a token that is really a membership — and built it for hospitality. Your pass is an access key: to private events now, and to the permanent bar we’re working toward. The art marks your tier; the access is the point.

A pass, not a picture

Owning a Founder’s Circle token is a membership credential — it unlocks access, experiences, and recognition. The artwork is the key, not the point.

Access now, more later

Perks begin with our private and mobile bartending service and grow into standing benefits at the permanent bar we’re building toward.

The rarer the tier, the deeper the access

Platinum sits at the top, Bronze opens the door — and each member tier holds five animated editions, the rarest pieces of their kind.

Patient by design

We under-promise and over-deliver. Benefits are revealed and honored over time — this is a long relationship, not a moment.

Four member tiers · 300 passes · 100 held by the house

Your tier sets your access.

Twenty-five Platinum, fifty Gold, one hundred Silver, one hundred twenty-five Bronze — plus one hundred passes held by the house: fifty Reserve and fifty Partner. Rarer tiers hold deeper access — and every member tier contains five animated editions, the rarest pieces of their kind.

The plan

Patient by design.

Q3 2026

Reveal & allowlist

The collection, tiers, and the twenty animated editions are unveiled. Guests and top clients join the claim allowlist.

Q4 2026

Free claim opens

Allowlisted members claim their pass on Base — free. We're setting up sponsored gas so claiming costs nothing; until that's finalized a small network fee may apply.

After claim

Private-event benefits

Holder benefits go live across The Walters private and mobile bartending service. Specific perks are assigned per tier and revealed here.

Future

The permanent bar

As The Walters opens a permanent bar, Founder’s Circle passes carry standing benefits inside it — the circle was here first.

Questions

Good to know.

What is the Founder’s Circle, exactly?

It’s a membership collection of 300 numbered member passes issued by The Walters, plus 50 Reserve passes we hold and gift at our discretion. Holding one makes you a member and unlocks access and experiences with us. It is not an investment, and we make no promises about resale or value — think of it as a founding-member card.

How many passes are there?

400 total: 300 member passes — 25 Platinum, 50 Gold, 100 Silver, and 125 Bronze — plus 100 passes held by the house: 50 Reserve, gifted at The Walters’ discretion, and 50 Partner, issued to the venues, vendors and collaborators we work with. Each member tier also contains five animated editions — twenty in the whole collection — which are the rarest pieces of that tier.

What does each tier get me?

Tiers set your level within the circle, with the rarer tiers holding the deepest access. The specific benefits attached to each tier are being finalized and will be revealed here before launch.

What does it cost, and what about gas?

Passes are free to claim for allowlisted members. We're working to sponsor the network gas so you pay nothing at all; if that setup isn't finalized at launch, a small network fee (typically under a dollar) may apply. You'll never pay us for the pass.

Which blockchain is this on?

Base — a low-cost, low-energy network. The collection is currently in a testnet preview and is not live. Launch is planned for Q4 2026.

Do I need to be a crypto expert?

No. You can claim with a familiar email or social login through a smart wallet, and we handle the technical parts. If you can book an event with us, you can hold a pass.
