As NFTs act as a token, they can be utilized as a gateway to access certain IRL experiences (i.e. private memberships).

Some examples of top-performing NFT membership groups include Kevin Rose’s PROOF Collective), Gary Vee’s Veefriends), and Adidas Originals’s Into The Metaverse NFT), the latter of which allows NFT holders to redeem physical merchandise in multiple stages and keep the NFT as a gateway to their future metaverse experiences.
