Building a future worth believing in
We’re happy to share that we’re building a sustainable revenue model for our NFT holders
It requires considerably more time, capital and execution than simply launching an NFT collection and our priority is building a foundation designed for long-term value
We look forward to sharing more as we continue to build

Bro you have no fucking idea how stupid this industry gets. People are raising absurd amounts of money with zero product, zero execution and zero fucking substance
Their entire skillset is figuring out which ass to kiss and then showing up every single day to kiss it again
There is a project on Monad that pretty much everyone here knows and they somehow managed to raise $100k by glazing the foundation nonstop.. and from what i’ve heard, the money went everywhere except the fucking project
Now they are flexing money they supposedly raised while there is still barely anything to show for it and that's just ONE example
Imagine the shit you don’t hear about

I don’t fully agree but true
Art can be less important when you already have influence, a strong network and distribution etc.. but if you’re starting from zero and trying to build something people actually notice, good art absolutely makes a difference
And for the smaller niche of genuine collectors art still matters a lot

I’m sure a lot of people don’t fully realize just how much work goes into something like this unless they’ve been part of the process
As an anime fan and art director, I can’t emphasize enough how difficult it is to bring a story like this to life. Stories constantly evolve through development characters, regions, emotional beats, pacing etc.. and narrative continuity all have to work in harmony. Connecting chapters and making sure every piece of the story feels cohesive takes an incredible amount of time, care and collaboration
Huge congratulations to the entire team. Wishing you all continued success and excited to see where the story goes from here
This manga is the culmination of a lot of hard work and dedication. Even though I've been working on Azuki in many forms over the years, this is the story in it's purest form, and the most personal to me.
It's literally only the first chapter, but I never would have made it even this far without the support of many:
Thank you to my family for being my biggest supporters and greatest fans (and for being the first test readers!).
Thank you to @Zagabond for believing in me and believing in this vision. The manga would not exist without your trust and support. Can you believe it's been 5 years since we created Azuki?
Thank you @MissJess_T, our chief brand officer for being the smartest, most reliable and awesome partner I could ask for through this process.
Thank you @febtea. We built the Azuki story together over all these years and it's finally coming to fruition!
The thing about the manga that I'm most confident about is the art, and for that I have to thank my long time friends and fellow artists @njoo and jryder. You guys always bring your A game and have elevated the artistic vision for the manga every step of the way.
Too many others to shout out, but thank you to @_Tomugi and the Azuki art team for building this universe with me, @sohkiazuki and @celerydotfish for making my art move and look even better, @dash_tokyo_ for help on the jp sound effects, @heyskylark on dev, @dgtlemissions on community, @sadboobs_eth for social, everyone at Azuki supporting along the way and anyone else I missed!

Barely climbed above its ICO price and couldn’t hold it lol answer is big NO
Hard Cap: $187.5 million USD btw
Monad (@monad) is approaching a massive token unlock worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Around 16.8B monad:native will become transferable on November 24.
Can the network’s fundamentals absorb that supply?

The illusion of “potential” makes people ignore the pathetic reality in front of them ig. Zayn and his brain-dead circle do this better than anyone else tbh
Could monad succeed? There’s a slim chance and I respect whatever they are doing but right now they don’t give a single fuck about retail or entertainment cause they’re focused on other areas like RWA/DeFi
Once they lose hope there, they’ll crawl back and desperately start caring about memes and NFTs again
It’s genuinely funny how Monad community members happily engage with positive tweets about Monad without questioning anything, even when those tweets are vague, unrealistic, and backed by absolutely no data.
But the moment they see an actual negative situation, a real piece of data, or a critical opinion, they start crying like a little girl.
For example, everyone knows there is a big liquidity problem on Monad. Yet whenever someone points it out, some self-proclaimed genius sheep show up in the replies saying things like, “tell us what we can do about it then” or “you’re not being constructive, you’re just being negative”, as if they themselves are contributing anything meaningful or this is our job to accomplish that.
Right now, almost everyone on CT is planning to move from Robinhood trenches to ARC, GIWA or even ZEC trenches next. Not Monad.
Think about that.
People are choosing networks that haven’t launched yet over Monad, and one of the main reasons is that Monad has shown very little interest in this side of crypto.
Monad calling memes gambling while launching a FOMO account. Team members put NFTs as their profile pictures but it creates zero demand. The most expected NFT collection has $200 floor price. So it seems we, as Monad, have some problems right?
Just a few days ago, the Sui founder posted about reviving the trenches on Sui and received thousands of interactions.
Solana itself supported Ansem and managed to push project to insane market caps even in the middle of a bear market.
Robinhood’s CEO literally came out and said trenches needed attention and managed to attract millions of dollars into his own ecosystem.
Base openly supported memes and attracted thousands of users because of it and liquidity.
Now when I say Monad has done none of these things, that its user numbers are declining, that the ecosystem is bleeding, and that no matter how many hackathons you run, builders will not build or stay if there are no users, no liquidity, and nothing attractive happening inside the ecosystem. Let set MON token set aside, Monad should have given support and done crime pumps for memes and NFTs. That’s why I have said Monad should spend money into ecosystem pumps or buybacks.
This would create fomo and attraction across CT -> more users -> liquidity
Even when some memes go upside a bit or Monad created FOMO account, the new address numbers on Monad had gone up.
So saying these things make me a FUDder? At least I am not Zayn who constantly talk about CIA stuff or write ultra complex GPT stories. We don’t need to complicate things.
Ily.
