Twitter user @lasertheend summarized the content of the "holders only AMA" held by the Azuki team on Discord this morning. The main content is as follows:
As to why Elementals is so similar to Azuki, the team said that they wanted to continue the proven success of PFP, but did not anticipate the dilution problem and underestimated the impact of this problem (they believed that people would appreciate the slight differences in the elemental characters like luxury watches).
The solution given by the team is: The team reiterated the priority of OG holders and has announced the launch of a community path to vote on updating the background of Elementals to distinguish them.
Azuki co-founder ZAGABOND.ETH said that a new product will be launched soon, which will determine the distribution of Azuki holders through "points". And emphasized that OG's Azuki will always be more valuable than Elementals, even if the art style is similar, because the tokens themselves are different.
About the progress of BEANZ: BEANZ is now classified as the 3rd layer in the Azuki ecosystem, under Elementals, BEANZ will be designed as a unique IP, targeting young audiences and mainstream markets. It has an independent roadmap and is more focused on developing IP.
Green Bean is an NFT that has been prepared for a long time. It is not a new PFP, but is related to anime. It will not support trading in the short term.
Azuki is working on developing a new type of anime content. Azuki plans to start with short animations as part of their anime productions. Azuki aims to create an interactive anime experience for viewers. After watching the show, viewers will be able to interact with the non-player character Azuki. In addition, Azuki hinted at token rewards.
According to previous news, Azuki may airdrop "Green Bean" NFT to holders. Several community members found that a new contract named Green Bean was deployed at the Elemental Beans contract address, with a total of 10,000 NFTs, which can be transferred and traded.
