MIAMI – (BUSINESS WIRE) – RECUR, the premier platform for creating innovative multi-chain NFT experiences, brings some of Nickelodeon’s most iconic ’90s characters into Web3 in a whole new way with the help of Grammy-nominated DJ and producer, Steve Aoki.

On July 26, fans will have the opportunity to exchange their original NFTs to collect Slime, which will lead to the opportunity to get Mashup ratings from July 29.
RECUR and Paramount Consumer Products have teamed up with avid NFT collector and Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Steve Aoki to introduce this new set of Mashup characters. In the spirit of mashups, Aoki created a new remix that combines original theme songs from Rugrats and Hey Arnold! into a new track to reveal Nickelodeon NFT character Mashups through a music video. The neon, technicolor music video gives fans a first look at the character Mashups while reviving the spirit of the 90’s. Mashups are brand new characters that combine features and names from the collection’s original characters. A Mashup that is partly Tommy Pickles and partly Helga Patacki is similar to Tolga.
