Seven

Oh and Follow me on @animecom if you join in: anime.com/u/seven 😊

Clarity act moving forward is a win, but gambling has created a PMF loop that now defines how most view crypto. Which pushes the majority away entirely. Running Q: When will builders stop optimizing for speculative casino tech and start building products the masses actually use? I only know of one consumer app currently onboarding thousands, built on crypto rails, with ZERO gambling involved and novel infra. That’s Anime.com by @Azuki. Quick TLDR - Q1 web traction: 2M+ hits (Avg 500K+/mo) - 1M+ unique smart wallets created - Value Prop: Social, Discovery, News, Collectibles - Many first to market novel product features - Big IP partnerships: Aniplex USA, Dentsu - Further onchain integrations in H2 2026 - Dedicated team and fully bootstrapped - Collabs: MyHeroAcademia, Gintama, Fate - Target sector: Global Anime market 34B - Proactive on IRL activations at conventions Linked a some case studies below on the same for people interested in sustainable mass market products instead of casinos. Messari (new): messari.io/report/animeco… Alchemy (old): alchemy.com/case-studies/a… A few other companies across sectors using crypto rails are also scaling without speculation/casino tech as the core value prop for onboarding. Ones that come to mind: Farcaster, Telegram + TON, Cash App, alongside infra players like Stripe, Shopify and Base (to some extent). I hope we see more of this in 2026. If you know any other brands who are building outside the box. Lmk in the comments.

Few ⛩️

@mazh_lycan Similar trend in some parts of Asia too 💯

@7316 Tokenization of Real World Assets. Banks are really going after these in Europe and funny thing on Ethereum Mainnet, not some private consortium chain

@weebcn **1B anime fans**

@7316 Bringing new people into crypto will bring mad scale

@nilsfisch @Azuki Grails

It originally wasn't the plan today, but I really couldn't resist these amazing beauties. HFVF ⛩️

@f10wer @Swatch @AudemarsPiguet Same but we got a stupid ‘1 watch per person, per store, per day’ rule swatch india 😄

I may or may not want to collect the whole set, and yes including the box.

@KaxxiNFT ♥️⛩️

@0xebtre @Azuki This

If you didnt know... @Azuki was the first to introduce a website for holders to verify profile to proof you are a real holder. Honestly, all top NFTs should minimally have a website for this.

@DGMD22 Azuki doing this with anime.com alchemy.com/case-studies/a…

idk mixed feelings today Clarity moving forward is a win. but can't help feeling an overwhelming sense that 99% of what people do here at current is a sham. we need more successful apps and integrations that are more rooted in solving the world's problems rather than an outlet for gambling that siphon's retail capital. this is also what brings me back to digital art appreciation. it is one of the purest forms of expression and appreciation at current.

@Mani_NFTz Top shelf. Iterating via fan feedback

@7316 Haven't seen creative features like this in any platform. Genius move.

Just in: Anime.com has rolled out new community features for select shows like Frieren, AOT, CSM and Apothecary Diaries. Live chat, Character maps, mini games, cosplay guides, community profiles and more.

@fadedface See ya

@7316 I will be there

Stopped by the Swatch boutique near to me today to ask about the AP collab. A bunch of people were already walking in asking the exact same thing. If you’re based in India and looking to buy the Royal Pop. I got you. I spoke to the staff directly. Here’s everything I found out: 1. Staff thinks it’s going to be a pocket watch, but nobody seems fully sure yet.
 My guess: Since it’s tied to the Swatch Pop line, it’ll probably work both ways: pocket watch + wearable with a strap attachment. 2. Expected pricing is around ₹40K–₹50K ($500–$600). 3. Nobody at the store has seen the final design yet. No photos, no display units, nothing. Reveal should happen within the next few days. 4. Doesn’t sound like a super limited release long term, but the initial allocation will probably be very tight to build hype. 5. Staff couldn’t confirm purchase limits yet, but I’d be surprised if there isn’t a 1 per person rule at launch. 6. No pre bookings or reservations. If you want one, you’ll need to show up physically on release day. 7. Also sounds like this will be boutique only. No online drop for now. 8. And yes if you’re into watches or collectible launches, May 16th is probably worth showing up for. 
Stores in India open at 11 AM, but I’d expect people to start queuing ridiculously early. Like 7–8 AM early. What’s the verdict. Cop or drop?

@Mani_NFTz Foundations strong

@7316 Best thing the Azuki has done.

Forever grateful to @Azuki To all my friends I have had the privilege of making in the Garden, thank you 🫶

@Joshuayapable @Azuki 🐐⛩️

@V1Zhual They got a world puzzle game

@7316 Mini games?

@dgtlemissions Bucket list item

“I need a Yuka.” Many have said it, but only a select few have been able to secure one of her legendary artworks. Soon, everyone will have a chance to own and play one in Azuki TCG.
