NiftyNoon: Azuki's Plan to Take Over Las Vegas

Almost a year after their widely celebrated "Check Your Wallets" NFT LA event, Azuki gears up for Las Vegas (April 10, 2023)

Nifty Thought

• Azuki’s NFT LA event in 2022 ignited the golden age for the project. Zagabond’s famous “Check Your Wallets” moment where 2 Beanz were airdropped to every Azuki is still frequently referenced to this day. Since then, however, the NFT market has radically changed and the appetite for new NFTs is not what it once was. With that being said, Azuki has an opportunity with its Las Vegas event to further demonstrate the power of its brand both to the existing web3 community but also the world at large. In the long run, this may prove to be more beneficial and helpful than any further airdrop.
