Would you pay Solana $40,000 for a date with a Playboy playmate?
Crypto Twitter’s attention span tends to be short-lived, with new controversial topics quickly replacing previous talking points, but Jaylene Cook has recently found itself the main topic of conversation on timelines beyond the typical news cycle.
It’s because of Only 1a crypto alternative OnlyFans on the Solana blockchain, where she offered three places for a date with her – for 250 SOL, or $36,000 each at the time of this writing.
Its premier Date Night Pass offers the following benefits: one-on-one video calls, transportation or drop-off (at buyer’s expense), a five-star hotel booked with a date, and you’re eligible to brag about dating a Playboy Playmate.
Cook went viral once again last week when the date was purchased for around $41,000 from SOL at the time, and people are still talking about it. She spoke with Decrypt for an exclusive interview about the viral date offer and why she’s a fan of the Solana platform.
As a former Playboy Playmate, Cook was no stranger to the intricacies of adult entertainment. However, Only1 intrigued her from the moment the platform contacted her.
“Only1 contacted me late last year to let me know about their platform and their goal of being the OnlyFans of Web3,” recalls Jaylene. “I didn’t sign up right away, but I loved the idea, so I kept them on my radar.”
However, she changed her mind when she interacted with Ansema prominent Crypto Twitter influencer known for boosting coins like Solana’s. dog hat (WIF). It has teamed up with Only1 for an ‘Ansem’s Angels’ promotion to draw attention to the platform, with the prominent influencer getting a 5% cut of sales. Only1 does not offer referral bonuses.
“I had contacted Ansem online when Only1 contacted me again, this time to discuss becoming one of Ansem’s Angels for a campaign they had planned,” she said. “I saw this as a great opportunity to onboard new users and creators. to the platform. »
Only1’s appeal extends beyond a different option for sharing exclusive and secure content. Jaylene highlighted the unique features of the platform compared to traditional platforms like OnlyFans.
“I like the fact that Only1 is on-chain, which gives the customer real privacy,” she said. “From a creator’s perspective, the biggest problems with traditional platforms like OnlyFans are payment processing issues. Only1 solves this problem because payments go directly to your wallet, giving creators peace of mind. mind and complete control over their income.”
Beyond Cook and his “Date Night,” Only1 said last week that trading volume for master passes on Only1 sales reached $62,000. during the previous two weeks.
A Cook’s follower and other creators who asked to remain anonymous said Decrypt that the experience with Only1 seems more “authentic” than on other sites like OnlyFans.
“I feel like at least the people on the platform are currently active on Twitter and crypto-related platforms,” they shared. “It feels more authentic than other models or pages I’ve spoken with. It feels more authentic because you constantly see them talking in Spaces or tweeting, or you know they’re a little more active.
However, they were confronted with what they consider to be erroneous beliefs about being a subscriber.
“I think it’s a big misconception to be an ‘idiot’ and send money to get attention from girls, because I feel – at least from experiences that I had – that it is possible to make a real connection,” they said. . “Obviously the monetary aspect makes things fuzzy sometimes, but at the end of the day you both know the situation.”
“I find it nice to be able to talk to girls that I wouldn’t regularly like, or that I’m afraid or shy of meeting in person,” they added. “Doing it online helps.”
Despite the virtual nature of her involvement so far, Jaylene says she is “totally open” to real-life experiences with her fans. She’s not there yet, but overall she’s happy with the response to Ansem’s Angels and her expensive appointments.
“Joining Ansem’s Angels came with its fair share of surprises, good and bad,” Cook admitted. “I’m still waiting F.U.D. with campaigns like this, but I was surprised at how many there were. It was perfect for making the campaign go viral and definitely brought a lot of attention to the project. »
But beyond the hate and noise, she found camaraderie among fellow creators online.
“We all support each other in our content and express each other, because we understand the power of networking,” Cook explained. “There is also an element of security and other topics that we discuss, as well as ideas and feedback on how to continue to improve the product and experience for all users.”
Addressing the controversy surrounding the 250 SOL date, Jaylene leaned into it with characteristic humor and resilience. It even launched its own coin called 250SOL.
“The meme piece was created as a sort of ‘fuck you’ to the FUD and a reminder to stay optimistic about yourself,” she said. “I wanted to do something fun for the degens who were fueling the FUD.”
“It made me feel like I had just thrown a strike!” she laughed. “I’ve been in space long enough to know that a little hate is optimism and FUD is fuel.”
Looking ahead, Cook remained tight-lipped about his future plans, but hinted at developments on the horizon. “I’m a big believer in underpromising and overdelivering,” she teased. “So I guess you’ll just have to wait and see.”
As for the person who purchased the 250 SOL date? They have not yet revealed themselves publicly.
