An apocalyptic-themed Solana-based NFT project is aiming to sell 100,000 virtual tokens to buy a Cold War nuclear bunker in England.

An apocalyptic-themed Solana-based NFT project is aiming to sell 100,000 virtual tokens to buy a Cold War nuclear bunker in England. The project, by Dead Bruv, creators of the NFT collection called Meatbags, will mint 100,000 tokens starting April 21 at a price of $14 each.

Project To Host Sales On April 21 At $14 Per Token

The project will see 10,000 tokens airdropped to current Meatbags holders, while the remaining 90,000 tokens will be sold to the public. The initiative ties together virtual ownership with physical real estate in what could potentially be a new trend for blockchain communities.

Historic Cold War Building Puts Up For £650,000

The nuclear bunker in question is located in Rutland, England, and is set within 1.4 acres of ground adjacent to an old reservoir. SDL Property Auctions had the property listed with a guide price of £650,000 (around $862,257) and organized the sale to take place on April 24.

The bunker, built in 1960 as a Cold War monitoring post before being deactivated in 1968, is among 1,500 buildings that were tasked with reporting nuclear bursts and monitoring radioactive fallout. The building already has the necessary permissions for conversion into a house, according to the auction listing.

Token holders will become members of the “Billionaire Bunker Club,” a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that will make decisions on how to utilize the bunker if the NFT project buyout is successful. The group describes itself as a “fully decentralized, community-governed real-world asset onchain.”

NFT Project: A Serious Joke

Robert, the pseudonymous founder of Dead Bruv, detailed in an April 18 announcement how the project started out as a joke that turned into a serious undertaking to "bring NFTs fun again."

We’re making fucking history with this one. A Web3 and crypto first—for the culture.

There’s not much to compare this to, but these are the things that made me fall in love with NFTs in the first place. Taking risks. Getting creative. Pushing the boundaries of what this… https://t.co/qgr4KGapTa

In the event that the bunker buy is successful, the Meatbags community has proposed a number of possible uses including a members-only "survival resort with Doomsday DJ," or an Airbnb with "caviar tastings and canned bean room service."
