Forbes & OKX Wallet Join Hands to Launch NFT-Gated Member Community

Forbes, the renowned American business magazine, is revolutionising its exclusive membership offerings by embracing Web3 through a new partnership with OKX Wallet.

This collaboration introduces the Forbes Legacy Pass non-fungible token (NFT), a digital collectible that serves as a gateway to a token-gated, members-only world.

This world unites content creators, builders, and innovators within the Web3 ecosystem.

Forbes chief growth officer Taha Ahmed expressed his excitement:

“We are thrilled to partner with OKX to bring this unique opportunity to the Web3 community. This initiative not only showcases our commitment to fostering innovation but also provides a platform for individuals to engage with and contribute to the future of digital assets and blockchain technology.”

At the heart of this initiative, OKX Wallet users will enjoy priority applications via OKX drops, providing them with expedited access to the Forbes digital community.

The NFT itself offers a range of exclusive benefits, including invitations to high-profile in-real-life events, influence within Forbes Web3, and membership in the Forbes Inner Circle.

This partnership with OKX Wallet underscores the versatile utility of NFTs as digital assets that can unlock both digital and physical spaces, bridging the gap between the virtual and real worlds.

OKX Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique noted:

“At OKX, we're redefining how creators, builders and innovators interact with digital assets. Through this partnership, we're showcasing NFTs' diverse utilities, transforming them from collectibles into gateways for real-world benefits. These benefits empower holders with valuable connections, networking and mentorship opportunities in their personal and professional journeys.”

Forbes Legacy Pass

OKX Wallet stands as the sole on-chain wallet offering a fast-track application review process for the Forbes Legacy Pass, an exclusive digital collectible limited to a total supply of 1,917.

Priced at 0.33 ETH (approximately $890), the Legacy Pass is accessible to users who meet specific requirements, such as holding a certain amount of ETH in their OKX Wallet, thereby granting them priority in the application process for this coveted membership.

For OKX users, this initiative represents a direct connection to Forbes' Web3 community, unlocking additional features and opportunities within the platform.

The priority application process is exclusively available to OKX Wallet users who submit their applications via OKX Drops.

Successful applicants will be eligible to mint the Ethereum-based NFT, which comes with a suite of benefits, including:

Exclusive Events: Entry to high-profile gatherings such as the Under30 Summit, providing networking opportunities with industry leaders.

Voting Rights: Passholders have the privilege of voting rights for the Forbes Web3 list, allowing them to influence industry rankings.

Premium Subscription: Access to the publication's online content and newsletters, as well as participation in curated artist drops.

Mentorship: Opportunities to connect with Forbes Inner Circle members and other pass holders.

Recognition: Passholders' names will be featured in the 2024 edition of Forbes magazine, ensuring visibility.

OKX Wallet users who are successfully placed on the NFT allowlist—a pre-approved list granting priority access—will be eligible to mint the Legacy Pass by connecting their wallet to Forbes' Legacy Pass page.

This unique collaboration between Forbes and OKX Wallet exemplifies the evolving landscape of digital membership and the growing importance of NFTs in unlocking exclusive experiences and opportunities.
