# Social Network integrating Nouns, based on PunksClub.io

**Goal**
To connect and integrate Nouns holders online & irl. We will create NounsClub, a social platform dedicated for verified Nouns.

**Why?**

* To connect Nouns holders around the world by location
* To connect with Nouns holders during your travels
* To potentially integrate Lil Nouns and other collections, based on Nouns community demand
* To create profiles of Nouns holders online, show their bio and experience to promote the brand
* To promote the Nouns brand by strengthening the community and showing it’s value to the crypto world
* To be able to build together and share knowledge and interests according to their professions [ENTREPRENEUR, DESIGNER, INVESTOR, FOUNDER, DEVELOPER, UX DESIGNER ETC].
* To organize and meet at events and local meetings
* To be able to see what projects other Nouns are working on and collaborate on them
* To be able to chat with other Nouns in chat rooms of all kinds
* To create a large gallery of Nouns event photos and build the story of the community together.

To grow …

In order for Nouns to grow to its full potential, the community must grow first and foremost, the holders must have strong ties. This also increases demand for Nouns, as new potential holders want to belong to a vibrant community that has a lot to offer.

**Our motivation**
Our goal is to bring the Nouns community together, both online and offline, and help them extract maximum community value from the NFTs they hold. We offer them a social platform tailored to their specific needs that the current social media platforms don’t meet.

**Our success story**
As of today, we have built two rapidly growing twin platforms, [PunksClub](https://www.punksclub.io), bringing together verified CryptoPunks holders, and [ApeClub](https://www.apeclub.ai), for BAYC/MAYC holders.

Our efforts in numbers (5 months, fully organic growth):

800+ verified CryptoPunk, BAYC, MAYC holders registered on our platforms
Over 200 Punk & Ape holder meetings IRL thanks to our map feature
70 holders’ projects listed on PunksClub and ApeClub
3 events for Punks & BAYC sponsored and organized by us (London, NYC, Miami)
Our platform will need some adjustments to be rolled out for Nouns, however it’s already live on the market, so there is no execution risk involved.

**NounsClub**

The only such platform that brings together Nouns holders in one place and gives them the tools to communicate, collaborate, integrate irl. :point_down:
