Gangster-inspired manga project debuts on the world’s first all-in-one IP NFT platform empowered by ERC-6551
Satirical manga project teams up with VUCA Digital to launch its NFT collection, develop its IP, and become a global comic brand, making storytelling more immersive.
BANGKOK. May 2, 2024 – ADOT, the first all-in-one IP NFT platform empowered by ERC-6551, is debuting an NFT collection called Gangster All Star from the comic and manga brand Gangster All Star. Designed by Thai illustrator and artist Veerachai Duangpla, the collection features 50 distinct gangs, their crime lords, and houses of untouchable villains. Gangster All Star, which has released two sell-out NFT collections, is partnering with VUCA Digital, the virtual solutions provider for cryptocurrency, NFTs, Web3, and the metaverse behind ADOT. Together, they will develop its IP and story into a globally recognized manga brand through Web3 technology.
Veerachai, also known as The Duang, is a former cartoonist for leading Thai comics Kai Hua Roh and Mahasanook. He’s collaborated on projects featured on Netflix, Zippo, Procreate, Apple, and Bodyslam, and has worked with brands in the toy and clothing industries. Inspired by Japanese anime, the 7,777 gangster characters in the series cause chaos and protect their communities in their own antagonistic ways, many speaking to issues prevalent in society today.
Gangster All Star NFT holders will own the right to their gangster art, allowing everyone to participate in IP co-development. This collection will be exclusively free to mint for holders of the brand’s first series. Gangster All Star Chips will also be allocated to fans based on lore knowledge, fan art, engagement on X (formerly Twitter), and more, guaranteeing one allowlist spot.
“At a time when the future of IP governance and AI-generated content is highly precarious, we’re proud to be standing firm in support of creators. It’s clear that the APAC region’s digital and artistic talent can take brands and fan engagement to new heights when IP is involved and protected,” said Pannathorn Lorattawut, CEO of VUCA Digital. “We’re excited to collaborate with Gangster All Star and show what an IP NFT platform empowered by ERC-6551 can do for the creator economy.”
