Lucky ‘Krap Chicken’ NFT Owners Will Appear in ‘Krapopolis’ Season 1 Finale
Blockchain Creative Labs (BCL), FOX Entertainment’s Web3 media and creative technology company, and Dan Harmon, creator of the network’s upcoming animated comedy, Krapopolishas unveiled the ‘Key to Krapopolis’, which will allow owners of the show’s dedicated NFTs, Krap Chickens, to appear on the show as a background character during the Season 1 finale.
Only two ‘Keys to Krapopolis’ NFTs will be added to two existing Krap Chicken NFTs, effectively making them the two rarest NFTs in the collection. The key appears as a second image on each of the upgraded NFTs in a carousel. When the episode airs, the illustrated image of the holder’s head as it was included in the show will be added to each NFT.
One key will be awarded to a current Krap Chicken owner who must enter and win a scavenger hunt beginning December 7th. The first contestant to answer a series of Krapopolis-themed, multiple-choice questions correctly will win you a “Key to Krapopolis.” Each Krap chicken in the collection represents one entry to the treasure hunt, meaning the more chickens a person owns, the more chances they have to compete to win the prize. The second key will be added to a Krap Chicken from BCL’s treasury and auctioned to the public at OpenSea from 27 November to 4 December.
“Unlike, say, a concert ticket, which has a one-time use, we want our Krap Chickens to provide additional benefits to fans over time,” said Scott Greenberg, CEO of BCL. “When we first announced Krap Chickens, we offered several features, including early access to screenings and meet-and-greets with the cast and crew. But ‘The Key to Krapopolis’ proves that the usefulness of Web3 can be eternal and only scratches the surface of what is possible in fan engagement.”
In August, Blockchain launched Creative Labs krapopolis.coma marketplace dedicated to the program; Krapopolis is the network’s first animated series curated on the blockchain, selling digital goods and NFTs and offering fans exclusive experiences.
From Emmy Award-winning creator and executive producer Dan Harmon (co-creator of Rick and Morty), the show has already been renewed for a second season… though Season 1 won’t premiere until 2023. Produced by FOX’s Emmy-winning animation studio Bento Box Entertainment, Krapopolis marks FOX Entertainment’s first wholly owned animated series.
The series takes place in mythical ancient Greece and tells the story of a dysfunctional family of humans, gods and monsters who try to run the world’s first cities – without trying to kill each other. The series features the voices of Emmy Award winner Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso); Richard Ayoade (The IT crowd); Matt Berry (What we do in the shadows); Pam Murphy (Mapleworth murder); and Duncan Trussell (The Midnight Gospel).
Krapopolis is an outgrowth of Harmon’s direct animation deal with FOX Entertainment. In the series, Ayoade voices “Tyrannis”, the mortal son of a goddess. He is the benevolent king of Krapopolis trying to get by in a city that lives up to its name. Waddingham plays “Deliria”, Tyrannis’ mother, the goddess of self-destruction and questionable choices. Within her extended Olympian family—forged in patricide and infidelity—she is known as the scoundrel. Berry is “Shlub”, Tyrannis’ father, a mantitaur (half centaur [horse + human]half manticore [lion + human + scorpion]). He is oversexed and underemployed, claims to be an artist, and has literally never paid for anything, in any sense of the word, in his entire life. Murphy voices “Stupendous”, Tyrannis’ half-sister, daughter of Deliria, and a Cyclops. Trussell plays “Hippocampus”, Tyrannis’ half-brother, the offspring of Shlub and a mermaid, and obviously a hot mess, biologically speaking.
