Azuki NFT Project Explained

Launched in 2021, Azuki is a non-fungible token series from the digital asset incubation studio Chiru Labs, featuring a limited set of 10,000 anime-themed digital items hosted on the Ethereum blockchain network. Azuki NFTs offers unique avatars, community access, and benefits like exclusive events and merchandise. Each Azuki NFT collection features a unique combination of traits such as hairstyles, clothing, and accessories.

The NFT collection draws inspiration from anime and modern streetwear culture. By description, Anime is a Japanese animation style that is produced or influenced by it. It is the Japanese term for cartoon or animation, where the Japanese use the word to describe all cartoons irrespective of the nation. Anime culture has cultivated its own identity through a distinct combination of art, narrative, and the uniquely designed anime characters that define its style.

The Azuki NFT collection allows holders to gain access to “The Garden,” an online community of creatives and Web3 enthusiasts. Azuki NFTs offer access to exclusive asset drops, collaborations, and in-person events. Azuki has rapidly grown to become an iconic brand born at the intersection of art, technology, and anime culture. The Azuki NFT team has also launched several other NFT collections, including Beanz Official and Azuki Elementals.

BEANZ Official is a non-fungible token collection of small, adorable characters that are part of the Azuki project. These BEANZ are a distinct species that are depicted as small, plant-like creatures that often act as sidekicks to the main Azuki characters. Azuki Elementals is an NFT collection featuring a fixed set of 20,000 anime-themed NFTs hosted on the Ethereum network.

Final Bosu NFT Project Explained

Final Bosu is a community-driven, non-fungible token project previously built on the Ethereum blockchain network that combines anime-inspired artwork with engaging gameplay elements. The NFT project focuses on creating a rich universe where holders can participate in the development of characters, storylines, and the brand direction. The final Bosu NFT series is now launched on the Abstract blockchain network. Its motto is “Against All Odds.”

The Final Bosu NFT team launched their first NFT collection called “The Bosu Legacy” sometime in 2021. Its NFT collection featured a fixed supply of 555 NFTs hosted on the Ethereum blockchain network. Fast forward to 2025, the new Final Bosu NFT team has launched a new NFT collection on the Abstract L2 network. The NFT collection presents an opportunity for holders to join a growing NFT project on Abstract Chain that combines quality artwork with community engagement.

The Final Bosu NFT team launched their latest NFT series earlier this month. The Final Bosu non-fungible token project features high-quality artwork and animations developed by an experienced NFT team. Since the Final Bosu NFTs are highly curated, they have attracted massive traction among the NFT community, particularly the anime enthusiasts. Which NFT project stands as the market leader in the anime NFT market?

Unlike many NFT projects, which differentiate their character types with distinct base traits, the Final Bosu NFT team has done a great job. Instead of focusing on exclusive traits, the NFT team has created a distinct style character driven by the lore and function of each type in its universe, dubbed “Keshuna City.” This unique character production has positioned Final Bosu as one of the top Anime NFT collections.

Previously, the Azuki NFT team faced massive community backlash due to perceived similarities to the original Azuki NFT collection and Azuki Elementals and concerns about diluting the value of the original NFTs. Critics felt the Elementals looked too much like the original, leading some to believe the new collection was a “cheaper version”. This led to concerns about the original Azuki NFTs losing value and a drop in floor prices for both collections.
