Why 2025 is Special

45 × 45 = 2025

2025 is a square number and the square of 45, a rare property symbolizing harmony.

Historical Significance

The last square-numbered year was 1936, and the next will be 2116—this is our only chance.

Multiplication Table

The sum of all numbers in a standard 9×9 multiplication table is 2025!

Purchase Your Square

The 2025.land Grid isn't just an NFT - it's a living, clickable map of the crypto/Web3 world, showcasing the ideas, projects, and communities shaping our future. Each square you purchase is a digital billboard, embedding your presence into this permanent on-chain artifact. Whether you're highlighting a project, sharing insights, or making your mark by sharing your PFP, the grid becomes a guide for what matters most in crypto. This is a time capsule for the future.

The 2025.land Grid is a high-resolution 4500x4500 pixel image (21 megapixels), divided into 2025 unique 100x100 pixel square blocks. Each square is a link on an SVG, connecting viewers directly to the projects, tokens, or content you choose to highlight. (A sample grid allows users to zoom in and explore the map.)

Each square on the 2025 Grid is randomly assigned when you buy it, ensuring fairness, unpredictability and creating an element of surprise when the snapshot is taken. Each square is priced at 1 SOL (or the equivalent in Ethereum, Base, USDC, etc. - and there is still an early bird!), and as more people purchase links, the map evolves into a collective guide to crypto's most exciting trends and innovations. When others purchase similar links, these blocks grow bigger. Together we are creating a crypto map of 2025 that reflects that pulse of Web3.

Airdrop of the NFT: All wallets will receive an NFT generated on 25 February 2025.
Mint Your Own NFT: Holders can mint a custom NFT on 3 March 2025.
Community Showcase: Use your square(s) to showcase projects, tokens, your own PFP, or crypto communities.
