The Solana NFT project Meatbags, which features an apocalyptic theme, is raising money to buy a Cold War nuclear bunker in England. To finance the acquisition, the project zooms in on selling 100,000 virtual tokens. The sale will start April 21 and each token will sell for $14.

Bunker Details and Location

The current target is a world war II era bunker in Rutland, England. Originally built in 1960, today it is known as a Cold War emergency nuke monitor outpost. The bunker, situated on 1.4 acres next to a former reservoir, was one of 1,500 such facilities tasked with reporting nuclear detonations and tracking radioactive fallout. Retired from use in 1968 the property now offers a one of a kind opportunity to the Meatbags tribe.

Meatbags, grab your masks and your bug out bags. April 21, we’re kicking off #buythebunker—the weirdest crowdfunded property purchase on the internet ever - MEATBAGS (@mfmeatbags)

DAO and Community Involvement

Beyond successfully obtaining the bunker, Meatbags holders will be enrolled as members of the “Billionaire Bunker Club.” This crypto art club runs as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). This DAO will make all decisions related to how we’ll use the bunker. As well, token holders will get access to a members-only “survival resort with Doomsday DJ.

The Meatbags community has proposed various uses for the bunker, including an Airbnb offering "caviar tastings and canned bean room service." The project imagines turning the last Cold War reminder into a one-of-a-kind attraction.

Project Vision

Our ultimate goal with the Meatbags project is to make it an asset that’s literally owned and operated by its community.

We’re making fucking history with this one. A Web3 and crypto first—for the culture. - Robert (@rbrtmb)

The ET project is betting that the allure of digital ownership paired with a physical manifestation of history will be too intriguing to pass up. The success of the project will depend on the community’s willingness to come together, show their support, and buy up all 100,000 of those virtual tokens.
