Cardano NFT: AdaWaifus – The Cryptonomist
This week’s guest on Cardano NFT column is a project with a new platform called AnimeSector, for anime fans with integrated NFT functionality: AdaWaifus.
Last week’s guest was one coining platform that expands to various facets of blockchain and NFT technology.
This initiative is a reference point for NFTs on Cardano and every week or so we will invite someone to answer some questions and give us an update directly from the Cardano community.
Considering that many of our readers are new to the crypto space, we want one mix of simple and technical questions.
Cardano NFT Project: AdaWaifus
Hi, glad to have you here. Introduce your team, where are you from, what is your background?
We are one core team of 4 people. (Luise, Alex, Tobi and Sven). Except for Alex, all of us lives in Germany. Alex is alive in Luxembourg. AdaWaifus has brought us together and now we have founded a company where everyone can live out their special skills.
For AdaWaifus, we got some help from other experts:
- Reinhardta talented Photoshop and frontend developer,
- Johannes our system administrator,
- Pete who is very well connected to the Cardano ecosystem and is our marketing expert.
What is AdaWaifus, how do you use NFTs and why have you chosen the Cardano blockchain?
AdaWaifus is a way for us to build a relationship with our future customers and learn about Cardano blockchain technology before the product itself. We see great potential and would like to use it for our future productssuch as ‘anime.chat’. Holders of AdaWaifu’s NFTs will have all premium features unlocked, which will monetize other users. More information about how we want to do this can be found in our White paper.
We see the ADAWaifus collection as a way to bridge the gap between blockchain and anime fans in the world. We love to share the art and passion of the group with the wider blockchain and anime community.
Tell us more about the Anime Community Platform. How will it work and what will it offer to anime and manga enthusiasts?
We make one full ecosystem for anime fans. The central hub becomes Anime sectorwhich can be compared to Facebook.
The only difference is that AnimeSector will focus on anime information and community rather than a wall of social media posts. Like Facebook, however, we will gradually develop and add modules. In the beginning this will be anime.chat (messenger) and anime.art (comparable to a mix of imgur, deviantart and animexx). These modules will be released as standalone mobile appsbut will also be integrated directly on AnimeSector as modules.
If we manage to generate enough income to cover the expenses, many more modules will follow, and of course everyone will be tailored to the needs of people interested in anime.
What does the future hold? Where do you see the AdaWaifus project and the community in 1, 5, 10 years respectively?
We believe, in 1 year we will be sitting in a team member’s studioworks intensively with our products and marketing. Creating new art collections, continuing our manga series and engaging with the wider community to be able to grow with them.
In 5 years, we hope to have our first joint office where we meet every day and work together on our goals.
In 10 years we will have grown the project to the point where we have many employees working intensively with us to revolutionize the theme of anime in the German-speaking world and other European countries which is a neglected area when it comes to anime fandom.
The project is community-driven and we adjust the modules depending on the needs and wishes of our community. We aim to all grow together!
Fantastic. Any closing remarks? Where can people find more information?
We want more information about all this will be published on our website soon but at the moment you can find all the information about AdaWaifus here and join our Discord server to engage with the community.
