283 names are on it. One price until 6pm: 130 euros by card or 0.06 ETH. Your name hand-painted on the wall of the venue, your early bird ticket to NFC Summit 2027 (May 27 to 29, Unicorn Factory, Lisbon), your printed NFC Yearbook, and three free plays a week in the arcade.

Get on the wall

Prefer to pay by card? Same ticket, same name on the wall, on Eventbrite. Both close at 6pm.

We close it live

From 4pm Lisbon, we close the wall live on an X Space, with the people of the wall: Beatrice Pinto, Rainer Hosch, Tânia Marques, Charles-Edouard Nitot, warrenhimself, and everyone who wants to grab the mic. At 6pm sharp, on air, the wall becomes final.

Set a reminder for the Space

Tomorrow in Lisbon: Eterno Open Lab

Eterno just joined the wall and opens its gallery in Marvila on Saturday for a day on digital art, AI and creative tech: talks, a guided tour, an AI workshop, DJ and networking. John is on stage at 14:30, Why Collect Digital Art? with Pepe and Logic. Free, open to everyone, registration required.

Three new games in the arcade

The wall is now an arcade: games built on the names of the wall, every paid play feeds a jackpot, and every Friday the best scores and the artists get paid. This week, three artists of the wall added their own games. Dirty Signals Radio by Bully Meow: name the song through the static. The Morning Brew by osaykancuno: a pixel coffee shop on the Normies marina. Wall Tagger 2000 by Nissla: tag the names, beat the dawn. They sit next to UNBREAKABLE and FULL ROW, and the first jackpot is split live tonight after the wall closes.

People of the wall: three free plays are in your wallet. Sign in with the wallet that holds your name.

Enter the arcade

After 6pm, nothing changes on the wall. See you in May, in front of your name.

No crypto wallet? Same ticket, same name on the wall, by card on Eventbrite.

A real wall in Lisbon. 500 names, painted by hand for NFC Summit 2027. As of today, you can play on it.

THE WALL ARCADE is open: games built on the names of the wall, made with SuperRare Studio. The teaser, in 37 seconds:

Enter the arcade

ARTISTS OF THE WALL, YOU HAVE A NEW REVENUE STREAM

You make 1/1s. You make editions. From today you can make arcade games, and get paid every time someone plays them.

We worked hard with SuperRare Studio to make it a few clicks: one template, your AI, four steps. Sign-in, credits, payments, verified scores: the smart contracts are already inside. You only make the game.

The money, simply: 40% of every play on your game is yours, paid every Friday. 50% feeds the jackpot of the week, won by the best score on your game. 10% goes to the wall.

It's an experiment. Who knows where it goes. The first games in get the featured spot. The kit, the deal and the four steps are here.

Make your game

PLAY. BEAT THE SCORE. WIN THE JACKPOT.

Two games at launch, built on the names of the wall.

UNBREAKABLE. Aim, fire, break the bricks. Every brick is a name of the wall, and minted names can't be broken.

FULL ROW. Place the pieces, fill a row: the names on it get painted together. Post your best row, it tags your neighbors.

50 plays for 0.005 ETH, practice is free. Every paid play goes straight into the jackpot of the week, shown live on the arcade. Every Friday, live on People of the Wall, the best score on each game takes its share. Week 1 is paid this Friday, October 30.

Play

ON THE WALL? YOUR PLAYS ARE FREE.

3 free plays are already in your wallet, every week for the first weeks. Sign in with the wallet that holds your name.

FRIDAY, LIVE

Friday 16:00 Lisbon, 12:00 New York, live on X: the wall closes, the first jackpot is paid on air, SuperRare joins us. From Monday, the first artists' games join the arcade.

See you on the wall,

John

Starting this week, every one of those 500 tickets also comes with something new: your own NFC Yearbook. One of 500 unique printed books, made with Alpha Labs, handed to you in Lisbon on May 27, the first day of NFC Summit 2027.

200 are already taken. 300 left, until October 30.

Get your early bird ticket

No crypto wallet? Get the exact same ticket by card on Eventbrite.

WHAT IS THE YEARBOOK

A real book, filled with the autographs of the people you meet along the way: artists, collectors, friends. No two books are the same, because no two people collect the same signatures.

From November, you get your yearbook in digital form first. You ask the others on the wall to sign it, they sign it from their phone or their computer, and every autograph is recorded on-chain, so it is yours for good.

On April 1, all the books are sealed. On May 27, we hand you yours, printed, with every autograph you collected.

Discover the NFC Yearbook

Amir, who built it with his team over the last three years, said it best on our live show: “We could collect coins, stamps, cards. The one thing we couldn’t ever collect were the people.”

Watch the full announcement with Amir on People of the Wall, our daily live show

500 NAMES, 500 BOOKS

The yearbook is only for the people on the wall. There is no other way to get one, not even with a regular ticket bought later.

When the wall closes on October 30, the list of yearbooks closes with it.

YOUR EARLY BIRD TICKET

• Three days at NFC Summit 2027, May 27 to 29, Unicorn Factory, Lisbon

• Your name, hand-painted on the wall of the venue

• Your own printed NFC Yearbook

130 euros by card, or 0.06 ETH. One price, until October 30.

Claim one of the 300 remaining

Prefer to pay by card? Same ticket, same name on the wall, same yearbook, on Eventbrite.

Already on the wall? Your yearbook is coming. Nothing to do until October 31, we will tell you when it opens.

See you in Lisbon,

John

EARLY BIRD, OUR WAY

The usual early bird is a countdown: buy now or pay more later. We are not doing that. The price is one price, 0.06 ETH- 130 euros. It is not free, because a festival costs money and the money is needed now, in September.
But it is not excessive either: a three day international crypto conference usually charges 600 to 700 euros for a ticket, and that ticket is all you get. So instead of a price that goes up, we made a ticket that includes more. Here is everything that is in it.

Get your ticket now

INCLUDED IN YOUR TICKET: THE FESTIVAL

Two days of NFC 2027 at Unicorn Factory, May 27 and 28, plus the final party on May 29. The talks, the parties, the people. The whole thing including all the event, most of the side events that will happen onsite, the other vertical event thaty we wil organise like the Kawaii Summit and much more…

INCLUDED IN YOUR TICKET: YOUR NAME ON THE WALL

You pick a panel, you type your name, up to 15 characters, editable until October 30. In May, a sign painter paints it by hand on the venue of NFC 2027. Not a screen, not vinyl. Paint. 170vnames are already on it, and some of them will make you look twice: Dmitri Cherniak, Kim Assendorf, Dave Krugman, Jeff Davis, Violet and Trevor Jones, Agoria, Bryan Brinkman, Serc, Danguiz, Max Pretend, Snowfro, Kevin Abosch….

You are on the same wall….

Get my name on the wall now (fiat)

Get my name (crypto)

INCLUDED IN YOUR TICKET: THE NFT THAT CONNECTS YOU

Your on-chain NFT, with your panel number and your place among everyone who joined before and after you. Your azulejo card, ready to share. A network artwork, not just a name, and a way to find out who is standing next to you.

INCLUDED IN YOUR TICKET: THE SPOTLIGHT

Not one photo, several moments. The day your name goes up on the wall, we photograph it and send it to you, and we post it. During the festival, our photographers shoot you standing in front of it. And starting Tuesday, People of the Wall goes daily: every day at 4pm Lisbon, live on X, we sit down with the people who bought a ticket and hear their story. Your slot is yours to book. This is not only a ticket, it is us backing the people who back us.

Get your name and be invited in the next space

INCLUDED IN YOUR TICKET: WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE DOORS OPEN

A private hour at the venue before NFC 2027 opens to everyone else, for the people of the wall only. Find your name, meet the others, take the photo.

INCLUDED IN YOUR TICKET: THE HOLDERS BRUNCH

A private brunch during the festival, holders only. The best conversations of NFC always happen around a table, not a stage.

INCLUDED IN YOUR TICKET: THE ALLOWLISTS AND AIRDROPS

Being on the wall is being in a club, and the club gets things. Two collections in one week already: Fortune Foes, and JPEG Frens, minting this Wednesday September 23, with every wall holder on the allowlist. Others are talking to us. Each one lands here first.

INCLUDED IN YOUR TICKET: THE SURPRISE

A post-event collectible pack we are not describing yet.

Get my early bord ticket now

NOT ON CRYPTO? THAT IS FINE TOO

You can get the exact same ticket, name on the wall included, with a normal credit card, no wallet needed. Tell us what name you want when you check out, and we take care of the rest. You will get everything by email once your name is up: your panel, your card, your photo. Get your ticket the classic way: [lien Eventbrite]

WHY GET IT NOW?

Because names freeze on October 30. The low panel numbers go first, they always do. And every airdrop snapshot only counts the names already on the wall. The price will move eventually, but not soon. It stays where it is for months and only rises in the final stretch before the festival. The wall does not wait the same way. Get your spot on it now, worry about the ticket price never. Get your ticket with a card: [lien Eventbrite] Get your ticket on-chain: onthewall.nfcsummit.com See you on the wall,

Mark the date: Thursday, midnight EST, 5am Lisbon. Every name on the wall at that moment gets access to two new partner collections.

[meet the comunity] - PEOPLE OF THE WALL GOES DAILY

Each day, you’ll meet four people from the wall. Artists, collectors, entrepreneurs. Four names, four faces, four stories worth hearing: where they come from, what they’re building, and why their name is painted on a building in Lisbon.

You don’t need to hold anything to watch. Just show up, listen, ask questions, discover who’s behind the names. Follow @NFCsummit on X and the live comes to you, every day at the same time from Tuesday 22 at 4pm lisbon time.

Every day we post the card with the four faces of the day.

Add my name on the wall

Thursday, midnight EST, 5am Lisbon. Every name on the wall at that moment gets access to two new partner collections.

[SNAPSHOT 1- TOMORROW NIGHT] - JPEG Frens, minting September 23

@wearejpegfrens is a world of 9,125 Frens created by @Richi0118, og artist and an NFC fren who’s been part of this world with us for years. A very weird JPEG universe where Frens can be burned, forged, transformed and made your own. And minting one is only the beginning of the connection between NFC and JPEG Frens.

Every “ON THE WALL” Holder will be in the snapshot and get automatically FCFS access to the mint. Want a guaranteed spot?
Fill out the short form and your wallet gets upgraded to GTD

2. SERFIES by Nissla

The collection that was never supposed to exist. 4,269 SERFIES by @nessnissla, 100% on-chain Ethereum art, CC0. A pure derivative inspired by XCOPY’s original SERFIE, no affiliation. No utility, no roadmap, no promises. Just faces, code, and a questionable amount of time spent making something that probably shouldn’t exist.

Every wallet in the snapshot goes on the SERFIES Presale list. And we shuffle: 30 wallets will be randomly selected for a free SERFIES claim. Minting soon, watch Nissla’s X for updates.

Mint now and acces snapshots

1. The first partner airdrop (Fortune Foes)

2. ⁠The first episode of People of the Wall, our weekly live stream where holders join us on air.

ON THE WALL is not an allow list NFT but…

We didn't build this for airdrops

ON THE WALL is a wall, a ticket to NFC 2027, and a list of the people who show up every year. That's all it was meant to be.

Then, this week, collections started reaching out. Their reasoning was simple: the people on that wall are real collectors, real artists, real builders, and they were already here. They want to be in front of them.

So we're saying yes, on one condition. It has to be worth something to you. No token spam, no "engage to win." Every partner lands in this newsletter first, with the snapshot date, so being on the wall early means being in every snapshot that follows.

Paint your name on the wall

THE FIRST ONE: FORTUNE FOES

Fortune Foes is a very hyped Bears vs Bulls GameFi collection on Robinhood chain. RWA x GameFi x Pixel Art IP that has been in development for multiple years.

Their launch is on September 15th, coming Tuesday. Two things for the people of the wall:
1. Every wallet in tonight's snapshot gets a Fortune Foes Allowlist spot / Bid Boosts in the auction Tuesday.
2. One of the wallets, drawn at random, will be airdropped a Genesis Heirloom. Most scarce NFT in the Fortune Foes universe (150 edition), that has immense benefits and perks including free Fortune Foes NFT and other rewards across all phases.

More collections are coming. Every one of them lands in this newsletter first, with the snapshot date. Being on the wall early means being in every snapshot.

JOIN THE FIRST “PEOPLE OF THE WALL” EPISODE1 - TOMORROW, 6PM LISBON

Who they are, what they are building. Names minted during the show get welcomed on air. Episode 1 is tomorrow, Monday September 14, 6pm Lisbon, 1pm NYC, on the NFCsummit account.

If your name is on the wall, you are invited. Not to watch, to join. Every holder can come on and say hello, tell us about their panel, their work, whatever they want. Just DM NFCsummit before the show and we put you in. See you tonight on the wall, and tomorrow on the show!

Mint now

Mint your Name on the Wall

New dates, same venue, same rooms, same people. You can book flights and hotels now; the Lisbon spring rate window is open and it closes faster every year.

Your Ticket + The surprise is the wall.

Every previous edition of NFC was funded the standard way: a sponsor deck, a few logos, a banner that comes down on the Sunday. That never described what NFC actually is, which is a room full of people who already know each other. So for 2027 we’re doing it differently. Instead of selling the venue to brands, we’re painting the community onto it.

ON THE WALL

500 panels on the name wall at Unicorn Factory. Type your name, pick your spot, and before doors open a sign painter hand-paints it. Painted on the building, not a banner. And during the summit, every name on the wall gets an official photograph standing in front of it.

And every name comes with a ticket: three days of NFC 2027, final party included. You’re not just on the wall, you’re in the building.

0.06 ETH. Minting is open now. Positions are first come, first served, and you can change your name as many times as you like until 30 October, when everything freezes and the painter starts.

Find your Panel

Five ways in

• The Name 0.06 ETH. 500 panels, hand-lettered, ticket included

• PFP Wall 0.6 ETH. Your PFP painted at 50 × 50 cm, one of fifty

• Community Houses 9 ETH. A container in the central yard, yours for two days

• Artist Murals 15 ETH. Your artist, 4 metre wall, plus 8 VIP and 20 general admission tickets

• Flagship Mural 40 ETH. The defining artwork of NFC 2027, chosen with you

Every tier includes tickets, from 1 with a name to 70 with the flagship.

Names and PFPs are self-serve on the site. Houses, murals and the flagship go through John directly: https://t.me/thejohnkarp

Why this and not sponsorship

A sponsor pays to be seen at the venue. A participant pays to be part of it. Every name, PFP, house and mural sold this autumn lets us commission artists in 2026 instead of scrambling in 2027, which is the difference between an event built on the calendar’s terms and one built on ours.
