The Unlock Flow

How it works

Three steps between you and your next favorite can.

Step 1: Browse the cooler

Explore over 400 verified can creators across five verticals — soda, seltzer, energy, beer, and iced tea. Every creator profile includes sample photos, follower counts, creator rank, and a verified badge confirming the can is real aluminum (no plastic imposters).

Step 2: Pick your tier

TierPriceWhat you get
Thirsty$4.99/mo3 creator follows, standard-def photos, community cooler
Premium$14.99/moUnlimited follows, HD photos, backstage recycling-crate, tip jar
Vault$49.99/moEverything + limited-edition NFTs, 1:1 DMs, Vault-only content

Step 3: Unlock & thirst

Once subscribed, premium content unlocks immediately. No waiting period, no approval process — just unfiltered can content delivered straight to your feed. Tip your favorites using the gold-coin tip jar (1 coin = $1; cans receive 80%, OnlyCans takes 20%).

The verification process

Every can creator passes through the OnlyCans Aluminum Verification Pipeline:

  1. Material test — confirmed 100% aluminum (no steel, no plastic)
  2. Content review — sample photos reviewed for quality and originality
  3. Background check — recycling history verified, no counterfeit brands
  4. Creator agreement — can agrees to exclusive content terms

Only 12% of applicants pass. The rest are directed to generic stock photo sites.
