A brand built on the blockchain, for the thinkers, builders and changemakers at the forefront of web3 and DeFi.
Own your background, and your background
There’s something obviously cool and important about the background trait of a pfp. It literally defines the world and context in which the character exists. It could both be a point of origin, a point in the present, or an aspiration for the future. We think most pfp backgrounds aren’t intentional enough in this regard, and instead we see many projects prioritize matching color palettes, or just opt for simplicity in their backgrounds (as we did with the default / plain backgrounds for Citiz...

A new kind of currency
Put simply, a currency is a medium of exchange: something that is given to get in return. It’s interesting to think about this in the context of NFT projects, many of which have historically used staking to reward holders with ERC-20 tokens (cough shitcoins cough) or something similar that can be redeemed against other benefits. We now know these early primitives usually don’t perform well: inflationary tokens trend to zero over time, and as their perceived value diminishes, so usually does t...

Tokenbound ENS subdomains
We believe the ethereum blockchain and NFTs hold incredible potential in unlocking & enabling the future of digital identity. Much of what we explore or build looks to help fulfil this potential, and we’re pleased to be releasing tokenbound ENS subdomains today for holders of our genesis collection, the Citizens of Tajigen. What are ENS domains? The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain. ENS's job is to map human...

TinyERC721: A new standard in NFT gas optimization
2.6 million ETH (~$6.5bn @ 1E = $2.5k) has been burned in the last 12months. Imagine the impact on NFTs if this wasn’t burned, but instead was preserved as liquidity for the ecosystem. When Citizens of Tajigen mints on 22nd July 2022, we’ll open-source TinyERC721: a hyper-optimized NFT contract for the community to use, and improve upon. Because tiny optimizations at scale can make a huge difference.Gas figures from tests we've recently run - read on for contextWhy gas optimization matte...
