The Logo Protocol
Founding Signal
A utility-first digital membership pilot. Not a speculative collectible — a membership experience with an on-chain receipt. The token makes access portable and collectible; CWI's execution makes it valuable.

Membership first, speculation never
The winning product is not "an NFT." It is a CWI membership experience with an on-chain receipt. Ninety-nine passes are enough to test conversion and engagement without creating a large, unsupported supply.
A Founding Signal pass is a numbered digital membership: digital collectibles in a coherent visual system, holder-only briefings and behind-the-scenes company notes, early windows for CWI merchandise, priority programming and selected events, non-binding polls on creative themes and packaging, and community credit on a public CWI community page.
What the buyer does not receive: music master or publishing rights, streaming or licensing royalties, equity, debt, dividends, or profit share, any promise of resale value or appreciation, commercial rights to CWI or artist trademarks, or a guaranteed event, collaboration, or placement.
Plain-language promise: "This is a collectible CWI membership pass. It provides the benefits listed on the official utility page while CWI operates the program. It is not an investment and does not include music, royalty, equity, or intellectual-property rights."

Gate status: evaluating… "Qualified" means the member confirmed wallet readiness and utility interest — raw interest counts above; qualification is tallied during validation. The gate stays closed until 75 qualified members are recorded.
FAQ
When is the mint?
There is no mint date. The blueprint's go/no-go rule: minting is authorized only after five gates pass — 75 qualified waitlist members, a fully costed 90-day utility calendar, all visual/brand rights cleared, passing mint/transfer/sale/payout tests, and documented terms, custody, support, and records. If one gate fails, do not mint. Fix it or pause.
What will it cost?
The blueprint sets a target band of US$20–30, converted to KLV immediately before mint. That is a target band, not a final price. The final KLV price is set only after technical preflight, fee review, and Black's approval.
Is this an investment?
No. It is a collectible membership pass: access, participation, and recognition. It carries no music rights, no royalties, no equity, no profit share, and no promise of resale value. Anyone looking for guaranteed returns is not the buyer — and our outreach actively filters them out.
Do the rarer classes get more utility?
No. One contract, one membership promise. Crown Signal is the rarest visual state (5 of 99) and the KingCode class; its rights are identical to Origin.
Which blockchain?
KleverChain is the candidate (native Klever Digital Assets + XPort issuance), pending a complete dry run proving the buyer journey. Nothing is issued until the preflight tests pass.
What are the royalties and limits?
5% creator royalty, zero referral share (marketplace enforcement can vary — disclosed). One public pass per wallet during allowlist. 88 public passes, 11 held in CWI reserve with a documented policy.
Who controls the wallet?
Black alone. Agents prepare assets, metadata, and checklists; only Black connects the wallet and signs any mint, listing, transfer, royalty change, or withdrawal. No private key, seed phrase, or spend authority ever enters an agent workflow.
What happens if the demand gate isn't reached?
The mint waits. The work is preserved and CWI keeps building audience. Weak demand is a documented failure mode — the response is to delay and revise the offer, not to manufacture urgency.
How do I join the waitlist?
