Kyuzo's Friends is an AI-driven Web3 social gaming project based on the popular cat IP "DNAxCAT (九藏喵窝)" from Japan and Taiwan. Players can explore the map, roll dice to build spaces, upgrade buildings, collaborate or compete with friends, and combine NFT ownership with blockchain mechanisms to make the game more like a social entertainment platform rather than just a money-making tool. It is also built on the larger Gravforce platform, supporting multi-IP integration and NFT market trading.
Firstly, the project is led by Key Origin, a company focused on building a global Web3 official IP ecosystem, including IP licensing, AI co-creation, and digital asset trading. Kyuzo's Friends is their first officially licensed IP game, which has launched on the Sui blockchain and LINE platform, quickly attracting players with LINE's large user base. The project team information has not been publicly disclosed in detail, but it is led by the core development team of Key Origin, emphasizing the integration of AI and Web3 gaming mechanics.
The project team is headquartered in Hong Kong, with several Chinese faces among the founders and partners.
Two, the project has raised $11 million in funding, which occurred on November 12, 2025. Investors include institutions such as Chain Capital, LBank, Stratified Capital, KnightFury, and DeAgentAI, all of which are well-known investors in the Web3 space.
Three, the project started concept design at the end of 2024, launched the Sui chain game beta at the beginning of 2025, and became one of the first supported projects on the LINE Dapp Portal; by mid-year, it accumulated users and conducted internal testing, completing $11 million in funding by November 2025 and announcing the TGE (Token Generation Event); the future roadmap includes launching the Gravforce NFT marketplace, expanding to BNB Chain and other chains, and integrating more Japanese and Korean IPs.
Four, the game community is highly active, with over 12 million registered users, 2 million monthly active users, and 90 million on-chain transactions, mainly concentrated in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia; active social channels include LINE, Twitter, Telegram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok, where users record activities through the Prosperity Points system to earn rewards; airdrop activities include in-game tasks (such as daily check-ins and dice upgrades) and the upcoming $KO token airdrop starting on November 23, 2025, on Binance Alpha, where users need to use Alpha points to claim, and LBank Boosthub also provides a reward pool of 1.25 million tokens.
Five, the token economics centers around $KO, used for ownership, upgrades, and trading within the game. The game incorporates NFT elements, allowing players to own virtual assets. The overall design emphasizes social interaction and entertainment, with a points system incentivizing participation, but no detailed allocation ratios or inflation mechanisms are publicly disclosed. The project aims to enhance the Web3 social experience through AI.
Six, the total token issuance is 1 billion $KO, with 217.5 million tokens already allocated, and it will not be listed for circulation before the TGE. The token unlocking plan is unclear, possibly because the project is still very new and has not yet disclosed a complete timeline.
Seven, the project's initial valuation is set at 100 million USD, and during the Binance Alpha airdrop, the price was seen at $0.1 per token. It is not advisable to hold the game currency for the long term; be aware of risk management.
