Delegation — Own it, License it, Keep it

Delegation lets you put your Giraffe Tower NFT to work — earning $GARY or sharing its access — without ever selling it. Your Giraffe stays in your Gary Club wallet the entire time, and its value always stays with you.

What delegation is

Your Giraffe is a membership pass. Delegation separates the access from the ownership: you keep the asset (and all of its value), while its membership access can be kept, handed to someone else, or rented out for income — your choice, reversible anytime.

Enabling delegation

To start, you enable delegation on a Giraffe. This locks it in your wallet: while it is delegated it cannot be moved or sold — but you can unlock it anytime and it is immediately yours to move or sell again. Enabling is free; Gary Club covers the on-chain cost.

• The Giraffe must be in your Gary Club wallet (custodial). You can find your wallet address on the Delegation page.
• You need to hold at least 1,000 $GARY to enable delegation.
• It never leaves your wallet — enabling only locks it in place.

Three paths

Once a Giraffe is enabled, pick what to do with its access:

• Keep it — hold the access yourself. Full holder perks, nothing changes.
• Give it away — assign its membership access to anyone by email or to an existing member by wallet. If the email doesn't have a Gary Club account yet, they get an invite and your delegation shows as Not Active until they sign up — their access (and the full member welcome) unlocks automatically the moment they create their account with that email.
• Pool it — rent its access through the pool and earn $GARY every month.

Vibin Giraffe & Gary Club Stacker

Delegation isn't just for the Giraffe Tower. You can also delegate your Vibin Giraffe and Gary Club Stacker NFTs — hand their access to another member the same way (enable, then assign or invite). The one difference: these two are assign-only, so there's no licensing pool for them. Everything else is identical — the NFT never leaves your wallet, its value stays with you, and you can unlock it anytime. As with the Tower, you need to own a Giraffe and hold 1,000 $GARY to delegate.

How pool earnings work

When you pool a Giraffe, it backs a monthly membership for someone who joins that way. While it is rented, you earn a share of that membership revenue, paid in $GARY. Earnings accrue through the month and are paid out from the pool treasury on the 15th of the following month. You can see what you have earned on the Delegation page.

Whale status — pool 10 or more

Deposit 10 or more Giraffes in the pool and you are a Whale. Whales earn a 1.5x share on every giraffe they have in the pool (everyone else earns 1x) and unlock the private Whale room in chat. There is no cap — every additional pooled Giraffe also earns at the 1.5x rate. Pooling is the only way to Whale status: keeping Giraffes in your wallet or assigning them to a specific member does not count, and if your pooled count drops below 10 the status (and the 1.5x) goes with it.

Your Giraffe's value stays yours

Delegation never moves the value of your Giraffe. Because it never leaves your wallet, you remain the owner on-chain at all times — only the membership access is delegated. Your portfolio value is unaffected whether you keep, assign, or pool it.

Unlocking

Change your mind anytime. Unlock a Giraffe to end its delegation; if it was pooled, it leaves the pool and your access returns to you. Unlocking is immediate and, like enabling, costs you nothing.

FAQ

Can my Giraffe be taken or sold while delegated? No. It stays in your wallet; delegation only locks it so it can't be transferred until you unlock it.

Do I lose holder perks if I pool it? If you pool or assign a Giraffe, its access goes to the renter or assignee for that period. Keep a Giraffe (or hold another) to retain your own access.

When do I get paid? Pool earnings for a month are paid in $GARY on the 15th of the next month.

How do I become a Whale? Have 10 or more Giraffes in the pool at once. Whales earn a 1.5x share on every pooled giraffe and get the private Whale room. Manual assignment does not count — only the pool.
