1BLOCK STUDIO, a Web3 creative studio that focuses on decentralized technology and blockchain development, is pleased to announce that their NFT collection MetaSamurai has collected the highest total transaction on volume that exceeded 500 million Japanese yen on OpenSea, which is currently the biggest NFT marketplace in the world.
OpenSea is a decentralized marketplace for unique digital items and collectibles built on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows users to buy, sell, and trade a wide range of digital assets, such as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), which can include virtual real estate, collectible items in video games, and artwork. OpenSea aims to provide a transparent, secure, and open platform for buying and selling unique digital assets.
The MetaSamurai collection is composed of 3,333 unique and remarkable 3D avatars. Until now, this collection has collaborated with the popular sneaker shop atmos, the fashion brand SEAMS, the high-fashion brand COACH, and even the highly sought-after anime Lupin the Third. Just recently, 1BLOCKSTUDIO announced a wonderful collaborative collection with the anime Ghost in the Shell.
As MetaSamurai’s forerunner and 1BLOCKSTUDIO’s key to their NFT project, the 100 virtual sneakers referred to as AirSmokeZero were distributed for free. At the moment, the floor price is set at 6 ETH, which is equivalent to 12 million Japanese Yen.
On top of that, this project has collaborated with the rapper JP THE WAVY, the metal band BABYMETAL, the manga Hanma Baki and the rising contemporary artist backside works. The collaboration portfolio widely expands from anime to art and the music industry.
It’s also worth mentioning that there’s a community of more than 10,000 fans supporting such NFT projects—on the day #MetaSamura trended on Twitter, more than 50,000 posts related to 1BLOCKSTUDIO were posted. This only proves that the project has gained substantial world-class engagement.
1SEC also offers 1BLOCK LAB—a service for companies, business developers, and IP holders considering beginning Web 3.0 businesses focusing on NFTs. They will apply their experiences in blockchain services, AR service (METADRIP), and metaverse development and consultation.
With this amazing accomplishment of top NFT transaction volume on the NFT marketplace, 1SEC will also continue to further empower IP holders and businesses and support them through marketing Web 3.0 services.
METADRIP is an App Store mobile app that enables asset holders to experience or wear 3DCG NFTs and digital assets through AR technology. The plan is to slowly boost the lineup and enable a wearable experience if it’s issued as an NFT. In addition, METADRIP adds another layer of utility to digital assets and allows wearability through AR technology. It will connect creators and brands of all sorts and facilitate mass adoption.
The NFT project of 1BLOCK STUDIO shows infinite potential. As mentioned, MetaSamurai is a collection of 3,333 unique NFTs. The company is composed of LA and Tokyo team that empowers creators and creates Web 3.0 projects. At one point, it ranked the number one transaction volume on the world-class NFT marketplace.
1BLOCK’S avatar project has unlimited possibilities. They are focused on the idea of “I have your back,” which best carries the MetaSamurai’s want to support their master. Basically, the phrase came from the story of two individuals who protected one another’s back by standing back-to-back during a battle.
SAMURAI, who trailed the warrior code of BUSHIDO, defended their lord at the cost of their life. The use of the dog as a motif was also inspired by Hachiko, the loyal dog who went to greet his owner’s return and remained by his side for ten years, even after his owner’s death.
