Toffy’s Domes Pass is your access to books in the Toffy’s Domes series (such as Musta’s Mixtape), exclusive content, and a thriving storytelling community that empowers you to publich your own stories.

Bridging The Narrative Gap

There is a storytelling divide in the world.

Only a few people have been empowered to tell their stories.
Only a few hold the pen in the publishing world.

Even though the tools of research, storytelling, and publishing are now at our fingertips.

Only a few still hit publish!

This needs to change.

Storytelling is the ritual of hopeful society.

It is the guiding light for individuals, a glue for social cohesion, and a universal platform for change.

There are 7 billion diverse stories on this planet.

We build a more cohesive world when everyone gets to tell their story.

The world’s current narrative divide will be bridged through empathy, curiosity, and dialogue that storytelling weaves together.

Toffy’s Domes Pass is the catalyst to unleash your individual storytelling genius.

The Story of Toffy's Domes

It all started off as a mixtape in 2016.

That was the emergence of Toffy’s story, along with the other residents of J City.

Without knowing where to start with the writing, I scowled the internet, watched YouTube videos, and asked friends.

Three years of tinkering around with my manuscript, I found a writing mentor and community that flipped the script for me.

Over a period of 18 months, Toffy’s story finally came to life in a published science fiction novel Toffy’s Divide.

Toffy’s Divide won the Next Generation Independent Award for Best Science Fiction Book in 2022.

Who would have thought?

Toffy’s Divide and Press Play (the non-fiction book I wrote about music the year before) were both launched like a product on a crowdfunding platform.

It opened my eyes to an entrepreneurial approach to writing.
A community-driven publishing model that builds a direct bond between the writer and readers.

As Toffy’s story landed in the hands of eager backers and readers in 2021, I learned a new way to build community.
This time with Blockchain technology.

A model that keeps the community connected and provides a life-long proof of ownership.

Toffy’s Domes is the access and identity for sophisticated culture appreciators that care about innovating and supporting independent storytelling.

It’s a movement to get people books they love while providing them with tools to write their own stories.

Toffy’s Domes Pass is the gateway to inspiring books, tools and systems, and a supportive community to bring more independent stories to the world.

“What I have now is a fine-tuned system that allows me to incubate ideas, train my creativity, and publish insights that the world pays attention to.

Now I want to share that system with you so you don’t start from scratch”

Toffy’s Domes is a flexible pass, you can use it to collect and support my stories.

You can use it to learn how to write effectively.
You can do both.
It’s up to you”

About the Author - Nifemi Aluko

My name is Nifemi Aluko and I am the creator of Toffy’s Domes.

I am an entrepreneur, storyteller, engineer – and I make beats.

I’m the author of PRESS PLAY, TOFFY’S DIVDE, and THE UNDERRATED ART OF CREATIVE LIVING.

And now (MUSTA’S MIXTAPE)

I weave through non-fiction and fiction, and traverse music themes, dystopian tales, and creative habits.

My hope is that, in reading my books and joining my community, you will discover the inner strength you have to forge our own unique path with your narrative.

I want you to see this pass as an opportunity to escape from conformity and meaningless routine.

Learn alongside Toffy, Musta, and the other characters in J City about the importance of telling our own stories through courage, empathy, and embracing self-awareness.

Who's Toffy's Domes Pass For?

This project is for:

Book collectors:

  • that love stories about self-discovery
  • looking for motivation to follow their curiosity and act on their creative impulses. – people that enjoy dystopian fiction and futuristic stories,
  • interested in some authentic independent storytelling.
  • (science fiction readers) interested in captivating stories that can reshape their worldview

 

Writers, entrepreneurs, and innovators:

  • aspiring writers and entrepreneurs looking to refine their message to get people to say “yes, I want to be part of the world you’re building”
  • multifaceted individuals looking to bring their interests into focus with writing
  • web3 degens that just love backing cool projects
  • music lovers interested in immersive storytelling experiences

  • anyone that knows the power of narrative and wants to wield it to build a better and more meaningful life

 

Ultimately, I hope that Toffy’s Domes is a collection of stories that inspire reflection and fruitful dialogue, pressing into engaging questions like:

  • What is the importance of developing self-awareness, staying true to one’s truly rich inner being, and finding your unique voice to tell your own story?
  • How do we deal with the struggle between maintaining the status quo for acceptance and having the courage to break away to find purpose?
  • What is the possible implication from our continuous advancements in technology and how it affects the everyday person in a world with growing inequality, capitalism, and consolidated power?

 

I look forward to exploring these questions and beyond with readers and community members. I believe discussing purpose, self-growth, empathy, and curiosity will change us all for the better.

This collection is inspired by Toffy’s Divide, an award winning sci-fi novel by Nifemi Aluko. Nifemi never planned to be an author. He found a way to incorporate writing into his life while running his business and pursuing other interests. Nifemi wants to share his approach towards writing through his books and his online community. Both of which, Toffy’s Domes Pass holders get access to.

Once you choose a tier and purchase your pass(es), you’ll have your digital pass in your wallet (crossmint will create one for you with your email address and credit card purchase).

You will then join the Toffy’s Domes community here, where you get access to exclusive content and your physical books when they ship.

Each package gives you a certain number of books and access to exclusive content and community.

Funds from the campaign will be used to cover costs for developing, editing, and publishing the next book in the series.

The price of each tier is used to support book development, community management, and cover shipping costs

Gas fee is the term given to transaction fees on the Ethereum blockchain network. Gas is like “the fuel that allows the [Ethereum network] to operate, in the same way that a car needs gasoline to run.”

The gas fees go to crypto miners whose computers are used to validate blocks of transactions on the Ethereum blockchain network.

Although the digital pass to Musta’s Mixtape and the community is in the ethereum Blockchain, we wanted to give the options to purchase it with either your crypto wallet or just a credit/debit card.

This might be the first time for a few supporters to get a digital collectibles.

Purchasing through crossmint (payment partner) creates a wallet for your purchase (all you need is an email address to get access).

If you are familiar with Blockchain, you can mint your digital collectibles directly on the mint page here.

Just connect your wallet, adjust the number of passes to match you perk tier, and mint.

The plan is to ship out physical copies of Musta’s Mixtape by summer 2024.

The biggest challenge with publishing a book is delivering the finished book to the backer, specifically my mailing of the book to you. I have eliminated this risk by including the cost of mailing and shipping the signed copies into each pre-order tier.

The risk of delivering the pre-sale copies of my book is contingent on the publisher and printer we use.

I started NapoRepublic Press to fully integrate my publishing process and to make sure we ship the pre-order rewards to you as early as possible.

We will keep all pre-sale backers up-to-date as to when my book will be published. You will know when the copies of my book you pre-ordered are expected to ship.

There is also the risk of people not joining the community to claim their perks.

We will try our best to make sure everyone that participates in the presale gets all the perks they subscriber to, but we will need all the backers to also be responsive to requests such as (joining the community and filling out their physical addresses to get their books shipped).

No worries. We are new to the space too and want to bring as many people along with us. Here is a starter article on how to get involved with NFTs (for the everyday person).

We’re always hanging out on our Toffy’s Domes twitter or discord channel 🙂

There are 405 unique digital art pieces in this collection. The initial artwork was inspired by the cover design for Toffy’s Divide. With a combination of 5 different traits, each art piece is unique with motifs symbolizing the type of divide within one of seven chosen cities, and the storytelling tool used to bridge that divide. Read this article for more about the art and rarities in the collection.

Each pass is not only access to a book and writing community. It is part of a cultural identity. A stamp in your digital identity that proves your identity as someone that saw the immediate benefits of supporting independent storytelling and being early in the author’s journey.

You get access to the community as soon as you get a pass. Join here and connect your wallet to get access toy the exclusive channels.

That’s fine. You don’t have to claim all the books. Once we complete the pre-sale process for the book, we will cover the cost of printing an equal amount of books. You can choose to claim one book and give the others to a friend, your community, or get it for your organization. Some people choose a certain tier just to get access to the community. Just let us know in the support channel and we will fulfill the order based on your needs.

The great thing is that you have access to the community. Once you get the token, it will give you access to the community. You can choose to join the community and participate in all the great writing resources available or not. It’s up to you.

You need the collectibles to get access to the community. This is how we verify that you made a purchase and can claim the physical merchandise (in this case, my books) that come with it. Plus you get to hold on to this pass forever as a sign of your participation.

The writing community gives you tools, templates, and the supportive community of writers to write your own longform content. From newsletters to books. However, we have a dedicated program for aspiring authors that want to publish a book. Contact us here to learn about it. You can also choose a tier now and upgrade to the dedicated “book writing” program accessible in the community.

If we sell 250 tokens, I will have all the resources to publish my next book. If we sell 405 tokens, I will have the resources to help an aspiring writer complete and publish their book by Dec 2024.

The writer will be selected by the community. Interested in being considered for the writer scholarship.

Please apply for the writer’s scholarship here.

Some people just can’t contribute, but that doesn’t mean they can’t help:
