Founding Member · the Charter Thousand

Your number. Forever.

Kayfabia — the land where kayfabe is law — opens to the public in April 2027. Before then, exactly 1,000 Founding Member seats — the Charter Thousand. $299, once.

Seats open March 22, 2027.

Easy, champ — the bell doesn't ring until March 22, 2027. This button is still in developmental.

What $299 buys, once, forever

Your number, forever.

Your seat number IS your citizen number — seat #37 makes you citizen #37, engraved on a founding plaque the moment you verify your ID. Nobody else ever gets it.

The founding badge.

Permanent founding flair on every character you ever create. It never expires and it never goes on sale again.

Every supporter perk, for life.

Supporter flair and early access to what's next — the $40-a-year tier, paid once, never again.

In before the doors open.

Founders walk in before the doors open to the public. When your window comes, the invitation lands in your inbox.

Three steps. The middle one is the law.

1 · Pay.

Stripe Checkout, right here, $299. Your seat locks the moment the payment clears, and the seat number is the citizen number — you'll know yours before the confirmation email lands.

2 · Verify.

Kayfabia is for real, ID-verified humans — one human, unlimited characters, no bots, no burners. You'll verify once, privately, when your early-access invitation arrives. The moment you pass, your seat number engraves as your citizen number and the plaque goes up. Verification is never for sale, at any price, to anyone.

3 · Enter.

Founders walk in before the doors open to the public. Build your first character, plant your flag — and when the borders open in April, you're already home.

The rules, in plain English

The cap is real. 1,000 seats, and the cap is the only close — no deadline, no closing date. The sale runs right through opening day: even after the doors open to the public, founding seats stay on sale until the 1,000th is gone. When it goes, the founding tier closes forever — not at a higher price, not for a friend of a friend.
The counter is real. The number on this page is the number in the ledger. We don't fake urgency; that would be very heel of us.
Verified humans only. Your seat is locked when you pay. Your number engraves when you verify your ID at early access — and if your verification is declined, you get every dollar back, automatically.
One seat per human. One human, one account, one number. A second seat for the same person is refunded.
Your seat number is your citizen number. Seat #37 makes you citizen #37 — known the moment you pay, engraved on the plaque the moment you verify. No queue to race, nothing to time.
Between your seat and the doors. Your seat is locked in the ledger from the moment you pay, and updates land by email until your invitation does. Founders walk in before the doors open to the public — the invitation lands in the inbox you bought with.
Full refund if we're late. If Kayfabia isn't open to the public by June 30, 2027, every reservation that hasn't been assigned is refunded in full, automatically. Founders already inside get the choice: keep the seat or take the refund.
The seat is final. A founding purchase is complete when the payment clears — there is no change-of-mind refund. The exceptions are the two promises above, and they're automatic: verification declined, or the doors not open on time.
Not transferable. The number is tied to the verified human, not the email or the card. It can't be sold, gifted, or moved.
Every perk marked “for life” or “forever” runs for as long as Kayfabia stands — the life of the land, not a subscription clock. What the perks look like may evolve as Kayfabia grows; founding status and your number never go away.

Questions

Why sell seats before you're open?

Because a launch with a thousand real, verified humans already inside is a different launch than one with an empty arena and a press release. Founders fund the last mile and get the first numbers for it.

When do I get in?

Founders walk in before the doors open to the public — your early-access invitation lands in the email you bought with. We're not promising a date for that window, because we'd rather keep the April promise than decorate it.

Can I still buy after Kayfabia opens?

Yes. The sale runs until the 1,000th seat is gone, doors open or not. And the first thousand numbers wait for founders — everyone who joins without a seat is numbered from #1,001 — so a seat bought after opening day is exactly as yours as one bought the first morning.

What do I actually have until then?

Your seat, locked in the ledger under your number, and updates by email until your invitation lands. And the backstops: every dollar back automatically if your verification is declined, or if we're not open by June 30, 2027.

Can I buy a seat for someone else?

Buy it with their email address — the invitation and the updates go there, and they verify when their window opens. The seat belongs to whoever verifies; it can't be moved afterward.

Is $299 the launch price?

No — it's the only price. There is no Founding Member tier after the pre-sale, at any price. Supporter ($4.99/mo or $40/yr) exists for everyone else, forever.
