Happy 3rd anniversary @Azuki. It's been a little over three years now, and I've been thinking about what the most memorable moment has been so far. So many to choose from, but the obvious choice has to be when the ANIME kaito leaderboard was announced and I got a bunch of yaps.

How @AzukiZen is thinking about mintlist (ML), a thread (1/15) . It's been great to see the growing level of interest in Azuki over the past few weeks. The team is so glad to see that there are a lot of people who resonate with the vision and type of community we are trying. .

The @AzukiZen collection will be revealed on Thursday 12pm noon PST. Rare NFTs get sniped upon reveal by scripters. A quick thread about my thoughts going into the reveal around metadata. TLDR; To not get sniped, DO NOT LIST until after reveal. 1/8 .🧵👇.

We hear your feedback loud and clear. The mint experience was not up to the Azuki standard. Want to give some clarity on what happened during the presale and some general thoughts. 1/8.

We've received reports of activity that suggests our BEANZ metadata was leaked before it went live. No insider trading took place. Wanted to give some context on steps we had taken internally to mitigate a chance of a leak and additional steps we will be taking going forward.

Watching @ElenaaETH and @waleswoosh consistently write their threads has inspired me to get back into it. Lately more people have been asking “what does @locationtba actually do at @Azuki” and I figured I’d write a thread explaining what exactly it is I do 🧵👇. (1/12)

When the team was first coming up with @AzukiZen I said that the feeling I wanted to invoke for the #NFTCommunity was “this is it”. If you’re feeling fatigued with the current state of the space check us out, we’d love to build a genuine organic community together with you. !vibe.

Absolutely blown away. Sold out in 3 minutes. It means a lot to the team that you’re all excited about the vision of @AzukiZen. It was impossible to anticipate the exact demand for the sale but it was amazing to see ERC721A allow buyers to pay on avg of only 0.02 ETH per txn.

(7/15). the community who truly deserve it. We also noticed a trend getting more popular, which was using WL spots as an incentive for engagement on Twitter. Even shorter-term quick flip projects were using this to quickly grow distribution. However, it's easy to see that. .

(8/15). projects that rely exclusively on this mechanic without a focus on a long-term community suffered from price dumping shortly after mint, as there was no solid authentic community foundation. It's not the type of community that we want to build, but we are not blind to. .

Had the deepest sleep in months during my nap just now. Proud of the team for the near flawless execution up to this point. The wild thing is we’ve only just gotten started. This team is hungry and driven, can’t wait to build out @AzukiZen together with the community IKZ TTP.

(9/15). how much reach it gives projects. Using this selectively and tying ML to social media engagement is powerful and gives us the ability to reach users who could really resonate with our vision/mission that we otherwise might not have.

(10/15). So with all this context, how has Azuki chosen to approach our ML? We've chosen to use ML in part as an incentive for social media engagement for the increased reach it provides. Our goal is to create THE decentralized brand of the metaverse, and we need to be able. .

(4/15). Before Azuki was even announced, the team spent quite a bit of time exploring various alpha groups. A lot of NFT conversations happen in these private spaces, and we believed it would be useful to understand how a large % of the community thinks and talks about. .

Z is the authentic voice behind the brand, constantly driving forward the dope, web3 focused, and storytelling narrative. Without him we’d have ERC721B+.
THE Z QUESTION. We shouldn’t dismiss @cobie & @OttoSuwenNFT & @wizardofsoho comments as straight FUD; the question of whether or not Z should stay with Azuki is a legitimate one. As always, the debate is more nuanced than what Twitter jumps to, but it’s one worth rehashing. 🧵.

We are looking into the theory that someone was scanning IPFS leading up to the reveal who was able to find the metadata. For any potential future collection reveals, we will explore solutions such as initially revealing on a centralized server and then moving over to IPFS.

Grew up in the stereotypical “why no A” when getting A- Asian household. Linked my parents the @Forbes article and got a 👍. I’m sure there’s something there about upbringing and personal drive but I’m too emotionally stunted to connect the dots. Back to work I guess.
