The Real-World Social Layer of Web5.
We want to create a global club for like-minded people who know how to enjoy life.
Soon every hotel resort, every global top club, every beach club, every festival, every rooftop, and even every cruise ship will have a Crays Super Node — powering local mesh networks and Nostr relays for their guests. A closed digital and real-world community of Craylings, embedded within the larger Nostriches family.
Phase 1 starts in January 2026
"Going to market"
Crays will onboard content creators and replace their Link.me (and similar tools) on their Instagram and social media profiles with Crays Nostr profile URLs (see video in the update section). They won’t need these tools anymore, because the Crays Nostr profile already includes links to all their social media pages.
To keep creators inside the Crays public area, we tokenize their content, and we give them a very strong incentive to switch and focus on Crays. Creators can still use all other platforms — Crays simply becomes an additional, better option for them.
Because we offer one huge creator advantage:
0% fees on content sold to fans via Lightning BTC (instead of, for example, 20% on TG or OF).
Community growth is driven by creators and their fans, resulting in high app download rates. Fans will follow their creators to buy content — and they will follow the app into our partner lifestyle venues while using it.
As one of the next releases in 2026, we plan to utilize RGB for creators´ content tokenization with Lightning payments in the first half of the year (depending on RGB stability, community support, and testing).

Phase 2 launch in April 2026
"Introducing and rolling out the Crays Super Node hardware"
Launch of in-venue features inside the app and in hospitality spaces, and the creation of local mesh networks inside these venues with special community functions. Each venue will operate as a Nostr relay and as a local closed community MESH network. Replacing FIAT in lifestyle hospitality venues (see Figma video below).

That’s the starting point where your early contributor badges begin to gain real value. And because you are who you are, we give you not only countless monetary advantages but also app and IRL badge benefits that are truly priceless. We honor our early contributors with something money can’t buy: recognition — for life.
