Azuki founder Zagabond has announced plans for a significant new project set to launch later this year. In a recent interview, Zagabond discussed Azuki's mission to integrate tokenization into mainstream culture through storytelling and character IP, while promoting user-generated content via the "Garden" community. The upcoming project aims to further these goals, although specific details remain under wraps. Zagabond also highlighted the development of Animecoin, a token intended to reward anime culture supporters and independent creators, and the Anime.com platform, which will enhance interaction among anime enthusiasts. Azuki's recent trading card game starter set has been well-received, and the team plans to expand the series. Zagabond emphasized the future of NFTs lies in their practical applications rather than price volatility, underscoring their potential as tools for creative expression.
