Aluminum Verification Pipeline
Every OnlyCans creator must pass through our four-stage verification before going live:
- Material test — spectrometer-confirmed 100% aluminum alloy (3004 or 3104 grade)
- Content review — sample photos reviewed for originality and aesthetic quality
- Recycling background check — verified recycling history, no landfill exposure
- Creator agreement — exclusive content terms signed (metaphorically — cans can’t hold pens)
Content standards
OnlyCans content is categorized into three tiers:
- Standard — Unboxing photos, shelf candids, fridge-shelf shots. Available to all subscribers.
- Premium — Backstage recycling-crate editorial, macro condensation work, limited drops. Premium tier and above.
- Vault — The original prototype cans, limited-edition NFTs, 1:1 DM access. Vault tier only.
What we don’t allow
- Steel cans — OnlyCans is aluminum-only. Steel is a different platform (CanSteel™, launching never).
- Plastic bottles — We have nothing against plastic. It’s just not what we do.
- Counterfeit brands — No real beverage trademarks. Every creator is a fictional archetype.
- Underage cans — All creators must be past their factory seal date.
Reporting
If you encounter a creator you believe is steel, plastic, or counterfeit, report them to safety@onlycans.hermanity.dev. Our Recycling Committee reviews all reports within 3–5 business days.
