This milestone is worth noting but the job's not finished. A year ago, Elementals tested our resolve. Our goal with the release was to expand the Garden while rewarding our community. Despite good intentions with one free airdrop and a guaranteed mint for Azuki holders, we all know how it played out. But we didn't give up. Day 1's knew our heart was always with the community. We improved, adapted, and delivered many free drops for holders since then. We supported global local Azuki communities through the Azuki Passport mint program and empowered community brands with Buy Garden Local. I met with thousands of holders in the community in person throughout the Garden Tour in Asia to listen to their story and take feedback. Meanwhile, we built our foundation to be a key player in the anime industry. We grew the Azuki IP by collaborating with anime legends like Goro Taniguchi and Kazuto Nakazawa. Ep 1 of our anime anthology reached 8M+ views. We acquired anime.com and partnered with AniplexUSA, giving anime fans a glimpse into the future of anime. Many made up their minds about us long ago. But our progress is undeniable. We'll keep pushing anime onchain, contributing to Ethereum with tech like ERC721A and PBT, and building what matters. Resilient. Locked in. Ready for the next arc. It's a great time to join the garden ⛩️
