Pre-Launch Phase

Pre-Launch Status & FAQ

Everything you need to know about backing SEA during the pre-launch phase. We believe in full transparency about where we are and where we are going.

Quick Summary

Stage:Pre-launch / Community Building
Pricing:Promotional (may change)
Artwork:Conceptual (not final)
Production:After funding milestone
Digital Perks:Delivered immediately
Refunds:Limited (see policy)

What is Pre-Launch?

Pre-launch means we are gauging interest and building our community before committing to full production. This is similar to crowdfunding—your early support helps us determine if there is enough demand to move forward with the event.

During pre-launch, you are backing a vision, not purchasing a finalized product. Everything from dates to merchandise designs may evolve as we grow.

Current Stage

Phase 1: Community Building
  • Gathering Founders List members ($1 commitment)
  • Building community on Discord
  • Developing event concepts and partnerships
  • Creating initial merchandise and NFT artwork
  • Securing venue partnerships (in progress)

We will announce when we move to subsequent phases (venue confirmation, ticket sales, etc.).

When Does Pricing Become Final?

Current pricing is promotional pre-launch pricing. Prices shown today may change as we approach production.

  • Founders List ($1): Locked in—this price will not increase for current backers
  • Backer Pass Tiers: May adjust based on production costs, venue fees, and market conditions
  • Event Tickets: Will be priced separately once event dates and venue are confirmed

Early backers will receive priority pricing and upgrade options before public sales.

When Does Artwork Become Production-Ready?

Current artwork is conceptual and subject to change. This includes NFT designs, merchandise graphics, and promotional materials.

  • NFT Artwork: Will be finalized before minting. You will see final designs before claiming.
  • Merchandise: Designs may evolve based on community feedback and production capabilities.
  • Branding: Logo, colors, and visual identity may be refined as we approach the event.

We will announce when artwork is locked for production and provide previews before fulfillment.

When Do Orders Convert to Production?

Orders enter production only after we reach funding milestones.

Production Timeline:

  1. Pre-Launch (Now): Accepting orders, building community
  2. Funding Milestone: When we hit our funding goal, we finalize designs
  3. Production: Physical merchandise enters manufacturing (4-8 weeks)
  4. Fulfillment: Items ship to backers

Digital items (Discord access, founder badges, digital content) are delivered immediately upon purchase. Physical items require the production cycle above.

What Happens if Things Change?

Changes are expected during pre-launch. Here is how we handle them:

Event Dates Change

Your backer benefits transfer to new dates. Major changes (30+ days or different city) trigger credit/conversion options.

Designs/Artwork Change

You will see final designs before production. Community feedback shapes final products.

Event Does Not Happen

You keep all digital perks and physical merchandise. Event-dependent benefits do not convert (see refund policy below).

Tier Benefits Change

We may add benefits but will not remove promised benefits from your tier without offering alternatives.

Refund & Cancellation Rules

Please read carefully before purchasing:

Digital Items (NFTs, Discord, Digital Content)

Non-refundable once delivered. By purchasing, you accept the speculative nature of crowdfunding and the risk that event-dependent benefits may not materialize.

Physical Merchandise

Non-refundable once shipped, except for manufacturing defects. Contact us within 14 days of delivery for defective items.

Founders List ($1)

Non-refundable commitment to show interest. This small amount demonstrates community demand.

Event Cancellation

If the live event is canceled, event-dependent perks (VIP access, qualifying sessions, etc.) will not convert to cash. All digital perks and physical merchandise remain yours.

For full details, see our Terms & Conditions and Refunds & Risks Policy.
