# Introduction

Extinct Chain combines NFT art with utility and a treasury-based operating model.

Phase 1 launched 555 NFTs on Solana and built the initial community and treasury base. Phase 2 expands to Base to add a second network, improve liquidity access, and support cross-chain participation.

The core idea is to connect NFT ownership to ongoing utility. The model relies on scarcity, community governance, staking, and holder-focused features.
