I am for mint with grape.
I just casually thought of this idea now. What if the membership NFT is separate from the pfp?
I already explained how I see the membership NFT working here
So membership NFT serve as whitelist for pfp → whitelist = free mint
And thereafter public get to mint for a small fee which will be donated back to the DAO treasury or used for any other purpose that benefits grape and the holders/community. (this is me stealing from serum surfers approach)
