Become the next President.
RUN the Nuthouse.
Will you join the Presidential Hall of Fame? Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama... A Peanut?
Each holder mints a pass to customize a Peanut. Whenever a Pass is minted, they’re automatically assigned to a party.
The newly-formed parties will compete through a host of games and events to rack up points in the Hall of Fame. Who will crack under pressure and which two parties will make it to Stage 3?
Time for the real face-off. The two highest-scoring parties will nominate a candidate to present their ideas for the project. The whole community decides on a winner.
Inauguration day will see one Peanut crowned the victor. The winning faction’s proposal will be rolled out for a period of 3 months before the start of the next cycle.

THE COMPETING Parties
You thought the transition into a new rule would be easy? How foolish. Though the re-building of Earth was a group effort, it didn’t last for long. Soon the peanuts cracked off into smaller groups, each eager to rule this new era in their own way. Which one will you be a part of?
These nuts believe in the physical re-building of Earth’s structures, with a bit of a twist. In order to save money, they want to make everything out of cardboard - just in case it goes wrong again.
These controversial Nuts believe that there should be a supreme race of non-perishable foods. They have an unreasonable hatred towards canned tuna.
These Peanuts are just chill, you know? They want to vibe a little - the last year has been rough, why bother stressing over the unimportant stuff, like democracy?
They just miss the old world, and they want it back. Valencia Peanuts want to recreate the way things used to be, but in a more sustainable way - seems fair I guess.
SHORT STORY LONG
Following societal polarization and rampant inflation, the social structures that once kept Earth in check have started to crumble. Conventional communities and governments now cease to exist, leaving a large and hungry void.
The age of the NFTs has taken the brunt of the blame. A revolutionary idea that allowed people to obtain virtual ownership, and move the world into its next stage of growth. With the financial market in disarray, it wasn’t long before NFTs became the center of value, a new currency stored entirely online.
As time progressed, NFTs became a worldwide currency. But they weren’t so widely accepted; some people couldn’t understand the technical advancement, and therefore refused to trust what they couldn’t comprehend. What was originally predicted to free generations and bring power back to the people started to do the opposite.
SHORT STORY LONG
To make the situation worse, the humans' that supported NFTs formed close-knit communities, separated from each other. This caused a more unintentional divide and drove skeptics to resent NFTs even more for washing away the prospects of a united community. Something was missing. These NFT communities were too exclusive. There was no shared purpose, no reason to come together. Until hunger struck.
The lack of infrastructure meant that people started to go hungry, unable to find food for themselves. A divided community was not sustainable, people were unable to thrive without each other. The world needed someone to unite the scattered tribes of those devout to the age of non-fungible tokens. To show those who doubted that there was still hope. The world was on the brink of magnificent change, but it needed order.
Enter... The Presidential Peanuts
SHORT STORY LONG
They are the answer to a burning question of hunger, hoping to use a shared purpose to bring the world together. By establishing a new and connected community, they hope to re-create sustainable structures across the globe.
They might be reliable, essential, and non-perishable - but they can't do it alone. They're relying on the strength of a community, one that wholeheartedly believes in a bright future.
One without separation, without hunger.

CREATE YOUR CANDIDATE!
Take a trip down our workshop to get your Peanut campaign-ready by minting a Presidential Pass.
TO UTILITY AND BEYOND . . .
NUTDROPS
In the early stages of the Presidential Peanuts’ journey, when the world was still struggling, the Nutdrop was a care package that was dropped in random locations; these packages contain food, water, and other essentials - to bring hope back to the people.
To mirror that, each month and Peanut you own that isn't listed on any marketplaces you'll be given 1 'Entry' to win in our Nutdrops - our exclusive giveaway of NFTs. With multiple winners each cycle, so we won't have any salty nuts (if you know what we mean).
CRACKDOWN
We’ve heard some rumors that some of our Peanuts are disloyal to our cause - the Crackdown is our answer to that. After we sell out, we’ll be scouring the marketplaces to find them, and then… *crunch*. Straight to the Peanuttery - the after-life for our kind.
Once we find the deserters on the marketplace, we’ll buy and burn them - removing them from circulation and rewarding diamond-hand Presidential Peanut holders by raising the floor price and reducing supply, putting upward price pressure on all Presidential Peanut NFTs.
THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE
The Presidential Race is our way of hearing the voices of our community and implementing their ideas. It pits the four Peanut Parties against each other in a host of games and events, eventually crowning the first Peanut to be President, who will be given power as head of the DAO council to make crucial project decisions alongside the team for the duration of their term.
They will be rewarded for their commitment to our goals, receiving exclusive rewards and bragging rights!
DAO & TREASURY
The Presidential Peanuts had done their research, and they knew that the only way to have a chance at achieving peace was to ensure that power was shared amongst the people.
With that in mind, they set up the Treasury; a community-governed DAO that would take a more shared approach to fund allocation. It allows for all of the Peanuts to have their say, and help choose the direction of their future.
COMMERCIAL RIGHTS
Now that the world is free from strict rule, we want to make sure that it stays that way, by giving people real ownership over their belongings.
Presidential Peanut holders really own their NFT! That means that you own the IP for that Peanut as long as you hold it. You can create derivative artwork or create your own merchandise - go nuts with it! Your Peanut is yours. However, we do retain commercial rights to the Presidential Peanut logo and name.
SOLREWARDS
As our peanuts get swept off the shelves, we’ll be dropping 250 SOL into our community fund. It’ll happen as we fly by crucial minting milestones, so don’t blink!
STEP INTO THE NUTHOUSE
STEP INTO THE NUTHOUSE
Where the important things happen... and other stuff. Think, reinventing social structures and beer pong.
The Presidential Peanuts are not just PFPs, but will be adaptable to the ever-changing metaverse. As it expands, we hope to as well by buying and building on new platforms. We are currently scouting plots of land on the Metaverse to create exclusive member-only hangouts and games!
There is so much more to come, more battles to determine the ruling party, and a little bit of fun sprinkled here and there. The Presidential Peanuts' non-perishable nature may be tested, but they know they’ll never give up. They’ll never crack.
Are you excited? You should be.

Our gOals
Somewhat controversially, we only have one destination on our roadmap:
Creating a community with a shared purpose.
Built under 3 pillars; Belonging, Storytelling and Experimentation.
We have outlined the SOME of the plans we're ready to share publicly to ensure a thriving community from the start, but there will be a lot more surprises in store that will be communicated more strategically. We will also add automation with trustless systems to ensure as much community involvement as possible where applicable, so we can turn our shared vision, into a mission.
START OF THE PROJECT
- We’ll start with the creation of our NFTs, and kick-start our marketing efforts to set up key partnerships with other collections. Teamwork makes the dream work!
The real non-fungible fun starts once our website goes live, when we’ll be offering a host of giveaways and airdrops, and ready to commence our next step.
SERVE 4,444 MEALS
CREATE YOUR CANDIDATE
- After Selling out our Presidential Peanuts/Passes, we’ll launch NutKit and release the rarity ranking so you can see how you’ve done.
The collection will also be listed on at least2 secondary marketplaces along with the integration of sales bot to Discord and Twitter, and Grape verification for holders.

FREQUENTY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT ARE PRESIDENTIAL PEANUTS?
.svg)
The Presidential Peanuts is an NFT brand and collection hosted in Solana, entirely customizable featuring original artwork pieces that can be uniquely assembled from 300 attributes. Each Presidential Peanut is a collectible art piece and your chance to be a part of an exclusive community of nutty individuals.
HOW MANY WILL BE AVAILABLE?
4,444 supply
HOW MUCH IS A PRESIDENTIAL PEANUT NFT?
Est 1.5 SOL
IS THERE A LIMIT TO HOW MANY I CAN MINT?
Mint limit of 1. We want as many people as possible to be a part of our story. Projects are easily replicable, but communities aren’t - and they’re what makes them valuable.
WHEN IS THE SALE/DROP DATE?
May 25, 2022.
WHY HODL?
When you invest in a Peanut, you're not just buying a profile pic or a digital piece of art. You are gaining membership access to a community whose benefits and offerings will increase as the success of the project increases. Your Peanut can serve as your digital identity and open digital doors for you. We have made it our goal to ensure utility is always offered to all our members. This utility will be modest at first but will expand over time as we build.
WHY START A COLLECTION?
As a collection, we believe in Solana and we believe in NFTs - so we decided to build something unique that tapped into that. In the future, when we look back on our progression as a community, the rise of NFTs will be considered a pivotal moment. It fills us with great pride to think that we can play a huge role in that, and help to develop culture and technology. We also want to make sure that NFTs mean more than just a JPEG in your wallet. Plus, peanuts are just great. They’re a great snack, unless you're allergic, in which case holding one of our NFTs is the closest thing you’ll get.
ARE THEY PART OF A LARGER COLLECTION?
Interesting question...
DO YOU HAVE A WHITELIST?
Yes, we have a whitelist. We will be hosting various whitelist position giveaways, a large portion of which will be given to those who make great contributions to our community in our Discord and Twitter channels.
WILL THERE BE RESALE ROYALTIES?
Yes, 15% royalties will be applied to all resales to help secure project longevity. A portion of this will go towards our monthly Nutdrops and Crackdowns (2.5%), the DAO treasury and further development within the community (10%) and finally, (2.5%) goes towards to the founding team to keep this project running.
COMMERCIAL RIGHTS?
Presidential Peanut members really own their NFT! That means that you own the IP for that Peanut as long as you hold it. You can create derivative artwork, create your own merchandise, and own your Peanut-inspired creative works. Your Peanut is yours. However, we retain commercial rights to the Presidential Peanut logo and name.
WHERE CAN I LIST?
We'll aim for the collection to be listed on Magic Eden, Solanart, Hyperspace and OpenSea.
HOW WILL THE RARITY/TRAIT SYSTEM WORK?
Our wide range of 500+ traits allows our Peanuts to have differing degrees of rarity but rest assured, individual Peanuts carry value in their own right. A full rarity chart will be released once the public mint has ended.

COMMANDER NUT
Ten-hut for Commander Nut - our glorious leader. She's got all of the credentials that'll ensure a successful Presidential campaign, and enough ambition to go around. Commander Nut has over 11 years of experience in marketing and operations, with a large portion of that focusing on start-up growth. She loves to travel (which'll come in handy on our trip to the moon), and has a 7-year old son who loves gaming. She's got an incredible vision for the future of the Peanuts, and Web3 more generally. We're glad to support her mission.

SGT NUTCRACKER
Papa Peanut looks after technology at Peanut HQ. PP learned to code in high school and has been building products ever since, first as a full-stack developer and then as co-founder & CTO of several successful web2 startups. He *loves* building and shipping new products and tools, and in September 2021, he found himself sucked down the Solana NFT rabbit hole after being impressed by the speed and cost of building on Solana. Since then, he's helped develop and launch several Solana NFT projects and built software to manage different parts of the process.
YULIAN
What do you get when you cross incredible talent, with over 10 years of experience and an appreciation for NFTs - Yulian, you get Yulian. He’s a passionate father of 1, who loves pizza, movies, and coffee (honestly, could this guy get any cooler?). He’s been passionate about artwork since he was very young, and the proof is in the Peanuts - just look at ‘em! Yulian uses his artwork to stay in tune with his creativity and imagination - what a cracking guy!
JOE
Ever wondered how the Peanuts got their signature art style? Well, part of that is Joe. He’s an Indonesia-based illustrator that found a new passion in NFTs (a bit like all of us, really). He uses artwork to access a peaceful place, and loves the idea that his work can have an impact on others.
For Joe, the Presidential Peanuts acts as an opportunity to learn, and to do what he loves the most - the perfect merging if you ask us!
NUTELLA
If you had to put NutElla’s role in two words, “Coding and Collaborations” would be quite fitting (wait, does that count as three words?). But you can’t put NutElla’s role in two (or three) words -she’s worth more than that. She’s a cat-lover and ex-YouTuber, turned crypto enthusiast with sights on becoming a tech goddess. She deals with a lot of the techy stuff, and she heads up our collaborations to ensure that our community remains strong. She’s dedicated to ensuring the Peanuts reach the moon.
CHARON
Every non-perishable ruler deserves a voice, and Macauley provides that voice for the Peanuts. Macauley is a passionate storyteller, with an obsession for language and its capabilities. Hecomes from a linguistic background, and loves painting a picture with his words. He also hateswriting about himself in third person, but here we are!
DONUTELLA
Curiosity might have killed the cat, but it didn't kill Nutmeg Noot (mainly because she isn't a cat, and Nuts are non-perishable). It's that curiosity that brought Nutmeg Noot to the world of NFTs and crypto, and we're glad it did! She's our top-of-the-shelf Social Media Manager, helping to solidify our image on the web. She's not a one-trick pony though, because she's a talented writer, with a passion for murder documentaries and historical novels.

TOGETHER LET'S FIGHT WORLD HUNGER
WE PLEDGE TO SERVE 1 MEAL PER SALE
We'll pledge to serve 4,444 meals post-mint through ShareTheMeal.org
ShareTheMeal is an initiative of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) - the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger.
Each year, WFP reaches more than 86 million people with food assistance in around 83 countries. WFP is 100% voluntarily funded, so every donation they get counts.
WHY HUNGER?
There are 690 million people who do not get enough food to lead a healthy and active life. As the world continues to see an increase in conflict, climate change and economic instability, the rate of hunger is accelerating. The good news? Hunger is entirely solvable. With US$ 0.80, we can feed one child for a day and invest in helping even more children and families in need.
BUT IT SHOULDN'T STOP THERE
World Hunger doesn't end in a day. A community with a purpose is a community that is driven. We also pledge to explore ways to effectively use our platform to raise awareness in combatting world hunger.
