About Ready Player Club
Ready Player Club (RPC), formerly known as MAO DAO, is a Web3 membership community for Chinese-speaking professionals worldwide. Its core business revolves around NFT-based membership cards, which grant access to a tiered community system. Members can participate in closed-door roundtables, business interviews, offline city meetups, and an annual awards event called MaoDay. The club operates a points system and offers exclusive content, aiming to facilitate networking and resource sharing among founders, investors, and tech experts.
The club's core value proposition is building a verified network of over 450 Chinese-speaking Web3 elites, addressing the pain point of fragmented connections between entrepreneurs and investors across the globe. By using NFTs as membership credentials, it creates a tradable, transferable identity within a curated community.
Regarding recent developments (March to September 2026), on-chain data from OpenSea shows that the collection has a total supply of 4,961 NFTs with 1,587 unique owners. However, trading volume over the past 24 hours and 7 days has been zero, indicating very low market activity. The project's Twitter account has around 17,000 followers, and its community spaces on X have seen an average of over 21,000 live participants, suggesting ongoing social engagement despite the stagnant secondary market. No major negative incidents were reported in the past two years, aside from the overall low trading volume.
Over the past six months (2026-03-16 to 2026-09-16), Ready Player Club (RPC, formerly MAO DAO) as a Web3 Chinese business community has achieved key milestones: co-launched the BNB Holdings Fund with YZi Labs, the world's first third-party custodied institutional BNB product; released Hash Global research defining BNB as a “value-functional token” with structural yields and deflationary supply; hosted closed-door RWA exchange events at WebX 2026 Tokyo and with BNB Chain in Hong Kong; invested in and incubated non-financial RWA projects including Renaiss (PSA-graded card tokenization), meet_48 (fan contribution credentials), PumpSnake (Gamebank's first game), IPDEX (content IP membership rights), and OFFGRID_DAY (ticket financing/settlement); and proposed the “Agentic Web” as the next evolution of Web3. Official future focus: BNB ecosystem value capture and institutional onboarding, with emphasis on non-financial RWA (cards, fan rights, tickets, lifestyle collectibles) as the next growth market, positioning BNB as the core value-carrying infrastructure for “everything on-chain.”
