I’m all in on the idea of having a dedicated team to experiment in web3. We have a similar concept at Azuki, just with a smaller team.
The reason? It’s fun. And fun is the key to doing our best work. I learned this early in my career, and it’s become non-negotiable for me.
But don’t get me wrong - fun doesn’t mean it’s easy.
I’ve faced serious lows that would break most founders. Yet even in those tough times, I find joy in experimenting in web3 and building an onchain future. The journey itself is what makes it all worthwhile.
Take our recent Bobu x Hallway AI livestream. Was it critical? Not really. But did we have a blast bringing an Azuki character to life? Absolutely. And those who tuned in loved it too - interacting with Bobu, getting free merch - it was a win for everyone. We have some more fun collabs with web3 native teams soon similar to this.
But here’s the reality: bigger projects like Azuki have a responsibility to drive mass adoption in web3. Crypto has the potential for much more, and it’s up to us to unlock that.
While many builders focus on infrastructure, hoping others will build on top, Azuki sees it differently.
We’re focused on building a full stack experience that will drive the next wave of growth in the anime industry.
As chain infra becomes commoditized, our goal is to:
1/ create first-party IPs that resonates
2/ support builders long-term at the protocol and culture layer
3/ develop a flagship app that will elevate the anime fan experience globally (🔜)
