Rent the Moon for one day — certificate + NFT on Base
10 followers
Rent the Moon for one day. Pick a calendar date, pay by card (no crypto wallet needed), and get a personalized PDF certificate plus a public dedication page. Each day is backed by a unique ERC-721 on Base — tokenId is the date, one tenant per day, forever. A novelty gift, not lunar real estate (Outer Space Treaty). Already live on Base mainnet.
how is the date actually tied to the ERC-721 if someone rents the same day later, does the new buyer just get a different tokenId or does the original certificate get invalidated somehow
@ersinkeman Good question — the date IS the tokenId. July 24, 2026 mints as token 20260724, and the contract reverts with AlreadyRented if anyone tries to mint that dateId again. So there's no "new buyer gets a different tokenId" scenario: once a day is minted, checkout won't even let you pick it, and the chain enforces it even if our backend somehow tried. Nothing ever gets invalidated — the original certificate is permanent by construction. One date, one token, forever.
What happens if someone tries to rent a date that's already taken mid-payment, do you hold the funds or refund automatically?
@ayegl433435 Neither, because that collision can't happen: the date is locked the moment checkout opens, before any payment. Reservations are enforced by a unique constraint (one row per date), so the second person gets "this day is already taken" instead of a payment form. Abandoned checkouts auto-release the hold after 30 minutes — no funds were taken, so there's nothing to refund. The only way to complete payment for a date is to be the one holding its lock.
Love that the tokenId is literally the date — such a clean way to make each day feel like its own collectible without needing a crypto wallet to get in on it.
@ozkur99489 Thanks, Huriye! The date-as-tokenId thing was the moment the whole idea clicked for me — no metadata tricks, the scarcity is just the calendar itself. And yes, the wallet stays optional forever: the token waits in custody until you want it (or never). Which date would you grab?
