# Introduction

## Onchain Memberships

We've developed an on-chain membership system utilizing Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), offering a flexible subscription model similar to Netflix or Amazon Prime.

*Users can easily renew, terminate, or allow their subscriptions to lapse.*

We empower our users via control. No one should have trouble cancelling or understanding the terms and meaning of membership. A subscription should be easy to figure out.

### What are the Membership Tiers?

Aside from the **free** Ecclesia role, there are three paid membership tiers.

Our flexible membership model ensures an inclusive and diverse collective, enabling members to find the perfect fit for their needs and aspirations.

#### The membership tiers are as follows:

1. **Ecclesia**: The free public role, giving access to social channels and select events, perfect for casual participants and community enthusiasts.
2. **dAgorian**: The base membership tier, granting access to the collective, coworking spaces, and community events for individuals seeking collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
3. **Hoplite**: A premium membership, providing enhanced resources, priority booking for hacker houses, and exclusive workshops for those ready to dive deeper into the ecosystem.
4. **Perclesia**: The ultimate enterprise/pledge pack, offering premium access to all services, personalized mentorship, direct support, priority access to our physical locations, Perclesia Invitationals (PI) events and additional opportunities for ambitious innovators and visionaries.

Ecclesia is a public role and will always be free; however, we suggest paying membership dues to get the most benefit from the collective.&#x20;

Our public role grants access to the social channels of our collective, and you're free to use our public spaces. However, if you need additional perks, a membership may be required.

A public role will allow you to partially opt into the collective for free-to-attend events for the community and public. *(Which we will prioritize)*&#x20;

Although to get possible rewards, perks, free stuff, sneak peeks, exciting opportunities or unique experiences, you'll want to acquire a membership. (Who are we kidding? You're still going to get free stuff, but the more you contribute to the collective, the more you get back)

*(Fees associated with paid membership tiers are subject to change via the collective)*
