# Celestium Pass NFT ## What is it The Celestium Pass is your unique access ticket to the Celestium platform. It is implemented on the ERC-721 standard on Polygon and represents a Membership Interest in Celestium Protocol DAO LLC. Every Pass is unique and non-fungible — each wallet that joins the protocol carries its own Pass as a permanent on-chain identity. ## Terms * **Soulbound:** the Pass cannot be transferred, sold, or burned. The contract reverts on any transfer or burn attempt. * **One Pass per wallet:** each wallet can hold at most one Pass. A wallet that has already minted a Pass cannot acquire another. * **Linked Identity:** your inviter and parent address are written into the Pass at mint time and are immutable. * **Fixed Structure:** the referral relationship recorded on the Pass cannot be changed afterwards. * **Lifetime Rewards:** direct and service bonuses you earn are accounted against your Pass for as long as the protocol operates. ## Why it exists ### 1. Membership Identification The Pass is the cryptographic gate that proves you are a participant in the protocol. Gated functions in the Core contract check Pass ownership before allowing the call. ### 2. Affiliate Infrastructure The Pass holds the immutable inviter address used by the protocol to attribute every direct bonus and to walk the referral tree when computing service bonuses. Decentralized referral tracking depends on this on-chain link. ### 3. Governance Foundation DAO voting eligibility is anchored to Pass ownership. Voting power is derived from active liquidity provision and is capped at 5% per address to prevent whale domination. ### 4. Compliance Self-certification at mint time creates an on-chain record that the user has accepted the terms applicable to their jurisdiction. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
