Although the real name behind the 10KTF brand is still unknown. Furthermore, even with all this popularity, the identity of the actual founder of 10KTF remains hidden. Some of the potential leaders of the brand:

No further details about the actual owner of the mark are available.

Who owns 10KTF now

Earlier this year, Yuga Labs acquired the 10KTF brand. WENEW co-founder and CEO Michael Figge is now the Yuga Leadership team’s newly appointed Chief Content Officer, with Beeple in an advisory capacity.

Who is Wagmi-San

Wagmi-san is a fictional world-renowned craftsman. Wagmi-san creates accessories for monkeys, cats, wizards and Toadz, and other collections according to his mood on a particular day. 10KTF NFT is a rapid success story in the industry, and the future of the brand is now also in the hands of one of web3 entertainment’s leading names – Yuga Labs.

The Beeple-founded project has seen enormous success and support from various communities along the way. Amazingly, 10KTF can also use many additional NFT communities when building these elements that set this project apart from many others.

How the 10KTF ecosystem works

Essentially, the 10KTF store makes items for NFT collections that collaborate. Each item in the 10KTF collection needs the user to hold the related parent NFT to build their derived accessories. For example, only holders of a Bored Ape can design and emboss an Ape High Top. Furthermore, each item can only be stamped once for each NFT. This means that only one “Ape High Top” can be minted for a particular Bored Ape.

This also means that only a maximum of 10,000 Ape High Tops can be built, one for each separate Bored Ape. In addition, Wagmi-san customers who have 10KTF inventory tools and materials can now use them to craft empty items. Blank items can be used to build their preferred derivative NFT.

Blanks and tools: what are they?

Blanks & Tools are crafting materials for various objects and collections. First, Blanks are digital objects created by Wagmi-san that can be returned to the 10KTF store to complete the artwork of the chosen parent NFT. To do this you must own the parent NFT in the same wallet as the empty one and it must be a collection backed by 10KTF.

Tools on the other hand can be used to create blank NFT items such as hats, backpacks and other items. These items can also be combined with certain parent NFTs (such as Bored Apes) to create a unique item. Only holders who own certain parent NFT avatars such as BAYC can create 1/1 items containing the parent NFT.

At the time of writing, Wagmi-san and blanks are supporting the following collections:

• 0N1 power
• Bored Monkey Kennel Club
• Bored Ape Yacht Club
• Cool cats
• CrypToadz by GREMPLIN
• CryptoPunks
• Boys Cat Gang
• Meebits
• Moonbirds
• Mutant Ape Yacht Club
• Noun
• Pudgy Penguin
• Forgotten Runes Wizards Cult
• Wolf game
• Women’s world
• World of Women Galaxy

Currently, the official 10KTF website only supports Metamask. To use 10KTF, users should load the wallet containing their NFTs into Metamask. There are 22.2,000 items available, the total volume is 10.3,000 and the floor price is 0.65.

Cooperation

Gucci Grail: Post the success of the legendary fashion brand’s foray into the metaverse with the “Gucci Vault,” the brand launched a collaboration with 10KTF called the “Gucci Grail.” The narrative also sees Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele traversing New Tokyo to create two outfits inspired by the real-life Gucci Love Parade and the Gucci Aria collection.

Cougar: A collaboration with the iconic shoe brand launched earlier in June this year. Puma launched a new release of one of its classic trainers with the 10KTF.

How to buy a 10KTF NFT?

Final thoughts from Wagmi-San himself

Wagmi-san is a digital leader on all fronts in the Yuga/WENEW ecosystem. One of the friendliest and most familiar faces in the metaverse. Also, the handmade material he creates is a quality item for any wallet. Additionally, the well-built team is on a mission to change the way we interact with the metaverse. It’s also not a stretch to call Yuga Labs one of the best storytellers in the game.

“10KTF is leading the way in how the web3 world interacts with their PFPs. This level of interoperability gives owners a way to reflect their online identities, says Michael Figge, CEO and co-founder of Wenew Labs. “Over the past year, our community has demonstrated long-term commitment and we are proud to reward them for their commitment.”
