Aether Lodge
The masonic inspired NFTs
A modern satire on masonic preconceptions
Aether Lodge (AL) consists of 9990 masonic themed NFTs divided into multiple collections. Our vision is to satirize the many existing myths and preconceptions about Freemasonry by building a united community around an engaging story with multiple benefits.
In ancient Greek, Aether was the upper air where the light and blue of the heavens existed, covering the sun and the moon. As young and active Freemasons, this is exactly what the co-founders of Aether Lodge are trying to do: shed some light on the formal or preconceived ideas.
Mint your Aether Lodger and climb the pyramid!
In the Aether Lodge Universe, the strongest ape of all has gained access to one of the oldest, most discreet and elitist societies: Freemasonry. As a master of climbing, the gorilla will enlighten its mind the closer it gets to the top of the pyramid. The roar is louder than ever and the urge of discovery makes it so eager that all it leaves behind is chaos. The Aether Lodger will only stop at the top!
The 9990 Aether Lodgers are equally divided behind the pyramid’s 3 doors, each with its great secret to be revealed. Conquer all doors, climb the pyramid to the top and reveal the biggest mystery of the Aether Lodge!
The first door will open soon… are you ready to knock at the gates for admission?
Each Aether Lodger is 100% unique but some are rarer…
All Aether Lodgers are created equal but some are rarer and hence more powerful. Depending on the rarity of your NFT, you can gain different ranks in the Aether Lodge Society: Entered Apprentice AL, Fellow Craft AL, Master AL, Officer AL, Worshipful Master AL. The rank of your Aether Lodger will be revealed after minting.
Uniquely Designed
All the Aether Lodge NFTs are programmatically generated from over 150 possible features.
Ethereum Blockchain
Where else could the Aether Lodge NFTs exist if not stored as ERC721 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain?
IPFS Stored
All the Aether Lodge NFTs are IPFS stored.
Owner Benefits
1. You control 35,7% of AL
Aether Lodge integrated a DAO component: a total of 35.7% of the sales will always be in the absolute control of our members. You get to propose and vote on marketing directions, pick the charity cases you support and choose who gets the startup fund. It’s about you!
2. Fund your startup
As an AL owner, you have the chance to fund your own startup by pitching the idea & business plan to the AL Society. The members get to choose the winner who receives 11,9% of the sales made by Aether Lodge.
3. Networking
The Aether Lodge Society is about creating a digital space where both Freemasons and non-masons come together united by the same values. Meet like-minded people, discuss different topics and find great opportunities.
4. Charity Driven
We strongly believe in the social impact of humanitarian acts, so we are charity driven. The beneficiaries are 100% chosen by you and the cases will periodically be displayed on our Discord channel and website after each collection is sold out.
5. Rule the world
Aether Lodge is building a digital space for all individuals. However, if you’re interested about Freemasonry and the spiritual journey, now you have the chance to learn more about this world from its members. And maybe rule the world too.
6. Rewards & Secret Parties
Not only we’ll reward the AL Society members with giveaways and airdrops, but we’ll also organize exclusive secret parties (aka Festive Boards). Because sometimes the Light shines stronger on champagne glasses aboard luxurious yachts or on rooftops bars in famous cities, right?
