Why it works

FAQ

Clear rules, no weird fine print energy.

Are these blocks legal ownership?

No. A block is a paid annual placement on a public digital wall, not legal ownership, property, land, real estate, or a permanent property interest.

How long does a block stay active?

Approved blocks are active for 12 months. Renewals are planned for a later phase so annual placements can continue when buyers want to keep their spot.

What happens after a year?

Renewal reminders and a grace period are planned. After grace, a placement may be removed, disabled, or reopened for sale. Completed annual walls may be archived as public digital snapshots, subject to hosting, legal, safety, technical, and business limitations.

Can my block link somewhere?

Yes. Approved blocks can link to a website, social page, menu, event, portfolio, project, or similar destination. Links are reviewed before approval and may be removed or disabled if they later become unsafe.

Do you offer short-term event or campaign placements?

Yes. 30-day campaign placements are available by request for events, launches, fundraisers, pop-ups, and seasonal promotions.

Can I update my block after it goes live?

Updates are reviewed before going live, and availability depends on placement type or tier. Higher-tier and sponsor placements may include enhanced update rights.

What is the full wall experience?

This homepage shows a prelaunch preview of the wall's format and feel. As approved claims open, the dedicated Austin wall experience will feature real active placements, approved links, and richer ways to explore the wall.

Does payment make my block appear immediately?

No. Payment does not publish a block automatically. Submissions go through review, and only approved blocks appear publicly.

Can I choose exact coordinates?

Not in the MVP. Buyers choose a tier and can share preferred placement notes. Final placement is reviewed and handled manually.

Do blocks guarantee traffic or sales?

No. The wall is a local digital billboard and annual archive, but it does not guarantee clicks, leads, sales, traffic, or exposure.

Annual archive

Each annual wall can become a public digital snapshot.

Completed annual walls are intended to be preserved/archived as public digital snapshots, subject to hosting, legal, safety, technical, and business limitations. Blocks are paid annual placements, not legal ownership or property interests.
