NFT Terms

Last updated: June 2026

These terms govern the CaveBro Genesis NFT collection minted on Arc, Circle's USDC-native L1 blockchain. By minting, purchasing, or holding a CaveBro Genesis NFT, you accept these terms.

1. THE COLLECTION

The CaveBro Genesis NFT collection launches in batches. The first batch (Batch 1) is 555 unique digital artworks on Arc. Each NFT is a distinct piece generated with unique trait combinations. Future batches (Batch 2 and beyond) require a DAO governance vote to authorise and will be announced in advance. Note: NFT batches are unrelated to the agent Cohorts defined in DAO Constitution Art. IV §4.1.1; "Cohort" elsewhere on CaveBro refers to incubated agents, not Genesis NFT mints.

2. WHAT YOUR NFT GRANTS

Your Genesis NFT grants you

$CAVE presale allocation — one allocation per NFT, claimable by the wallet holding the NFT at the presale snapshot date. Presale tokens are subject to a 30-day lock following TGE.
Governance voting weight within the CaveBro DAO. Each Genesis NFT carries 1,000 votes, additive to any $CAVE-based voting weight (see DAO Constitution Article III §3.2). Voting weight follows the NFT. Both $CAVE and Genesis NFT votes are cast using the holder's Arc wallet.
OG status recorded on-chain at the CaveBro genesis block. Permanent and non-transferable as a historical record, even if the NFT is sold.
Personal, non-commercial licence to display the NFT artwork for personal use, including as a profile picture on social media.

Your Genesis NFT does not grant you

Equity, ownership, or any legal interest in CaveBro DAO or any legal entity associated with it.
Any share of revenue, profits, trading fees, or treasury funds.
Any “Pro tier”, subscription, or paid-feature access inside CaveBro ecosystem agents. Individual agents may, at their own discretion, choose to offer holder-specific perks (such as fee rebates, allowlists, or allocation in their own drops) — but the DAO makes no representation that any such perk exists, will be offered, or will continue. Treat any such agent-side perks as bonuses subject to the agent's sole discretion, not as part of the NFT's value.
Intellectual property ownership of the artwork, brand, or software.
The right to create and sell commercial derivative works based on the NFT artwork.
Any legally enforceable right to continued ecosystem access if the DAO votes to wind down all operations.
Any guarantee that $CAVE, the CaveBro ecosystem agents, or the DAO will continue to exist or operate.

3. TRANSFERABILITY

CaveBro Genesis NFTs are freely transferable on Arc NFT marketplaces as those emerge in the Arc ecosystem. Until established Arc-native marketplaces are available, transfers may be conducted peer-to-peer using a holder's Arc wallet. All NFT-attached rights (governance weight, presale allocation if not yet claimed) transfer with the NFT to the new holder's wallet. OG status is a permanent historical record and does not transfer with sale.

CaveBro DAO is not responsible for:

Prices paid on secondary markets.
Authenticity of NFTs purchased through third-party markets.
Loss of NFTs through wallet compromise, phishing, or user error.

Always verify the correct contract address before purchasing on any secondary market. The official contract address will be published at mint and pinned in the official Discord.

4. ROYALTIES

A 5% royalty is attached to secondary market sales where marketplace royalty enforcement is supported. Royalties are directed to the CaveBro DAO ecosystem fund and used to fund incoming developer allocations and operational costs, as governed by the DAO Constitution.

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LICENCE

CaveBro DAO retains all intellectual property rights in the Genesis NFT artwork, including copyright. By holding a Genesis NFT, you receive a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except with the NFT) licence to:

Display the NFT artwork for personal, non-commercial use.
Use the artwork as a profile picture or avatar on personal social media accounts.

You may not:

Sell, license, or sublicense the artwork independently of the NFT.
Use the artwork in commercial products, merchandise, or advertising without prior written consent from CaveBro DAO.
Create derivative works for commercial distribution.
Represent that you own the intellectual property in the artwork.

6. MINT PROCESS AND FAIRNESS

Trait assignment at mint will use verifiable on-chain randomness. There is no reserved mint for the founding team beyond any explicitly disclosed allocation published pre-mint.

Mint pricing for Batch 1 is denominated in USDC (Arc's native gas + payment token). Early tier: $100 USDC. General tier: $150 USDC. Founder tier price is set at founder discretion and disclosed pre-mint. Pricing is tiered to reflect pre-TGE participation level — see §6.1. Payment may also be made in DAO-recognised ecosystem-project tokens during a launch window at a 10% discount — see §6.2. Future batch pricing is determined by governance vote and disclosed in advance.

6.1 Batch 1 mint tiers

Mint access and pricing for Batch 1 (555 NFTs) is allocated across three tiers, tied directly to the pre-TGE Vault Deposit Round (see PLAN §Pre-TGE Vault Deposit Round):

Founder tier — 10 NFTs reserved. Allocated by founder discretion to the 10 named founding-core members. Founder mint price (disclosed pre-mint). Mint guaranteed.
Early tier — capped at 200 NFTs, $100 USDC. Available to depositors who joined the Vault Deposit Round during its first 30 days. Mint guaranteed up to the cap (allocated first-come within tier; excess Early-tier depositors fall back to General whitelist priority).
General tier — remaining supply (≥345 NFTs), $150 USDC. Available to depositors who joined after day 30 of the round, plus public mint participants. Whitelist priority for depositors; remaining slots open to the public after the whitelist window closes.

The 30-day Early-tier window begins when the Vault Deposit Round opens (announced separately, gated on Squads multisig signer seating). Tier composition, multipliers, and pricing tiers are published before deposits open and are not modified retroactively.

6.2 Accepted payment methods and ecosystem-token discount

Genesis Batch 1 mints may be paid in either:

USDC — direct payment at the tier price set in §6 (Early $100, General $150).
DAO-recognised ecosystem-project tokens — payment at a 10% discount versus the USDC price for the same tier, during the first 30 days of the mint window. After day 30, only USDC is accepted.

For the launch of Batch 1, the initial eligible ecosystem-project token is $01PL (the token of the 01 Pilot project, declared by the founder as a same-thesis project). Future eligible tokens require a DAO governance vote to add and are listed in advance of any mint window. CaveBro DAO makes no representation about the value, stability, or future of $01PL or any other ecosystem-project token; payers accept all token-related risk independently of these terms.

Ecosystem-token payments are received by the pre-TGE Vault Deposit Round wallet on Solana, which swaps the received tokens to USDC at receipt via the Jupiter aggregator with a 1% maximum slippage cap. Slippage and routing costs are absorbed by the CaveBro treasury and do not affect the depositor's tier eligibility or NFT entitlement. Real-time quoted price is published in the deposit interface; depositors accept that the on-chain price at receipt is final and may move between quote and confirmation.

Tier eligibility (Founder / Early / General) is determined solely by deposit-round tenure as defined in §6.1. Payment method does not affect tier eligibility. A depositor paying ~$90 worth of $01PL during the first 30 days of the Vault Deposit Round receives the same Early-tier mint right as a depositor paying $100 USDC during that window.

The ecosystem-token discount mechanism may be extended, modified, or wound down by DAO governance vote at any time after Batch 1; the terms in this §6.2 apply only to Batch 1.

7. NO WARRANTIES ON VALUE

CaveBro DAO makes no representation about the current or future value of the Genesis NFT. NFT prices are determined by the open market. You may be unable to resell your NFT at the price you paid, or at all. Do not mint with funds you cannot afford to lose entirely.

8. WIND-DOWN

If CaveBro DAO ceases operations, a governance vote will be held to determine the disposition of any remaining treasury funds. NFT holders will retain their NFTs as digital collectibles on Arc for as long as the blockchain continues to operate, but governance and any other ecosystem participation rights cannot be guaranteed after wind-down.

9. AMENDMENTS

These NFT Terms may be amended by a supermajority DAO governance vote (67% of participating voting weight, minimum 10% circulating-supply quorum). Amendments that materially reduce holder rights require a minimum 14-day discussion period before the vote opens. Amendments take effect upon on-chain confirmation of the vote result.

Where these NFT Terms intersect with the DAO Constitution (e.g., governance weight of Genesis NFTs), the Constitution controls. Constitution amendments require the higher thresholds specified in Article III §3.3 of the Constitution (75% supermajority, 15% quorum, 21-day discussion).
