Going to sleep 8 hrs Then I will welcome 2000+ Elementals to the garden. Then I will connect 5000+ Azuki, BEANZ, Elementals, and Bobu. I will hold 24 1:1 office hours weekly. Every week.

Welcome @elenism, our new Researcher in Residence. Elena is an expert in the web3 space and her Daily Rewinds are must-read summaries of all NFT news. More 👇

Wanted to clarify Researcher in Residence (RiR) is not a full-time job @ChiruLabs, it’s a grant to an external researcher who publishes independent content. @elenism grant contract expired 3 weeks ago, and we were in potential renewal talks. In light of the information that came out today, we have decided to not renew the grant.

I had a scary experience at NFTNYC. An unknown person, without consent, put drugs in my drink. This was NOT fault of organizers or security (which was well managed). Unfortunately, this happens all the time. I want to talk about keeping each other safe at large events. 👇

Gm I believe in web3 I believe in my community I believe in my team I believe in Beanz, Azuki, Elementals, and Bobu Let’s do the work. IKZ 🫡⛩️

I sold my first startup to Google for millions and felt totally empty after, quit. And why that matters today with the launch of ANIME In the style of a boomer LinkedIn post let me tell you a long tale about the journey versus the destination My dream since I first heard Steve Jobs had always been to be a founder and make a huge company worth billions (im a basic person). I was lucky to join Google Area 120, an internal incubator for startups. In many ways different from actually being a founder in the wild but in many ways the same. A great friend of mine and I came up with a vision to help people eat healthier and we got tons of resources from Google to make it a reality. It worked really well, in fact we made one of the first and in my opinion best AI food recognition models + behavioral science to make the habits stick. We made some people healthier, some sick merch and eventually my “dream” came true when we sold it back to Google for undisclosed millions. What then? Absolute downer. Totally lost. Empty. Why? (Warning some extremely cliche but totally true findings) - I was so obsessed with the goal, the number of the sale, that I enjoyed nothing of the making, the process (!TTP) - I was so afraid to lose the startup that I didn’t learn shit, took zero risks, zero fun and learned nothing but how to survive. - I didn’t take time to care about the people I worked with and the people I worked for (users, ew word). I saw them as means to my end and treating people that way corrupts your soul. I’m thinking about this today, on a huge milestone for Azuki & ANIME.. because my energy coming into it is completely the opposite. For some of you this might have been a day, goal or number you have chased relentlessly, and may now feel what i felt. Allow me to preach a little and tell you that you are more likely to be happy if you have principles rather than price targets, if you explore from fun instead of fear, and if you make community instead of followers, employees and users. Pursue relentlessly but ethically and joyfully. The future of ANIME is in our hands now and we have a beautiful opportunity ahead. Seize it ⛩️

Ok @elonmusk but remember @DaveTheBlueBean invented the 🅱️ meme way back when

1// Excited to announce that @RiceRiddler (Aez) is joining the community team as 'Beanz Community Rep'! Aez is a major force in the @BeanzOfficial community, and is well known to all Azuki and Bobu fam. His charisma and uniqueness are hard to miss. HAPPY BEANZDAY!!! More 👇

thank you @azuki_singapore and @arbitrum for creating with us a perfect night in the g⛩️rden the absolute highlight for me are always the community products and the people that travel from all over the world to connect and support each other ⛩️ Anime​.com ⛩️

Azuki, I feel like we all need to hear the garden is with us 🫡⛩️ Let me get a yo, for the history books!

Azuki is a global community with strong regional groups that love to get together. Nothing beats the feeling of meeting other beans in person. Today we launched Passport and the Garden Tour. 👇Here are more details on the thinking: Our goals are to celebrate those who support local communities regardless of location and to build a system for more local communities to gather. This product allows local groups to fund their events by incorporating community-run Open Edition mints into the Collectors Page. The garden, as a community, is a network of passionate individuals that participate in decentralized brand building. Local groups are the beating heart of the brand across the world. Their small and large events are key to building out the culture of the garden. Supporting these organizers is just smart community building. (We want to support you all, this is a first step!) Garden Tour is an experimental program to launch 5 community-run events across APAC cities. Through this program we (Chiru Labs) provide communities with funding for the basics of a great event, and the logistics support to make each event its own unique experience. These are community-run events, supporting local events is not a replacement to our official events. The goal of this program is to support more great gatherings like Azuki SG (and many more). (ngl, I also want to take a selfie with @thatother_lky_ ) There have been some epic past community events, we don’t currently have a way to identify everyone that attended and add them to Passport, but I will be looking into it and see what can be done! Passport is an item in Collector’s Profile that updates with a stamp each time you buy an Open Edition from the local organizers. These visual elements are built to satisfy the collector in all of us. I love my old passports full of stamps. We wanted to create a canvas for local activation and introduce the stamps as recognition for those community members that support them. Picking these cities wasn’t an easy choice, so many great local communities deserved to be part of the launch. We tried to cover a range of locations that have lots of collectors but have more difficult access to our official events, where crypto events are already happening, or where we hadn’t seen a gathering lately. I hope all local organizers see this as an encouraging sign that we want to keep looking for innovative ways to support your efforts! Working with local groups in Singapore and now for Hong Kong and Taiwan is a very important, constructive, and creative experience. We are providing resources to cover the basics of an event, with our experience and creative vision for what a great community gathering feels like. The resources invested make sure the groups have what they need, and don’t need to go out of pocket to connect with their community. The time investment helps reinforce the local groups and creates deeper roots for our global community. Ideally, the Passport will continue to add locations and serve as a mechanism to fund events across the world. More details on how to apply will be available as we learn from the program. We want to run this initial wave with a focus on quality and learning before expanding. The Garden Tour, with that level of direct funding support, will not be repeated. Events are very resource and time intensive, we have a lot of other creative areas to invest our resources on. I believe that Garden Tour starts the flywheel of local event activation and the Passport will allow the community to keep the parties going. See you soon at one of these events!

I’m transitioning from Head of Community to Product Manager to contribute to Animecoin acceleration, adoption, and experiences. I’m so proud of the amazing people we’ve gathered around Azuki. @RiceRiddler and @emilyrosemcg will step up and work to keep growing the garden, while @real_pretzl continues to align comms strategy with community expectations and market conditions. Most of my focus will be on the product side now, but never too far from the beating heart of Azuki, Community. You are in the best hands. In my new role, my focus will be proliferating Animecoin, delivering the most amazing events and activations around the world, bringing *anime domains to life, making apparel that proudly represents our mission, and a few secret launches that will be accelerating Animecoin across the board. This new change is super exciting, both for the people that Ive worked with now stepping up, and to the massive things I will get to build next. Community will always be the heart and soul of what I do and what Azuki is about, I hope to see you in person, on our Discord stages, and in the garden always.

Today we did an incredibly difficult thing for a group of secretive perfectionist creatives obsessed with bringing out only the best, we showed you early drafts and answered questions we didn't have all the answers to. We did that because we believe that we (Chiru and you the community) are a team, and our goal as a team is to make the Azuki Elementals and Beanz IP into the next generation anime IP. Garden Gatherings are a show of trust and it comes with a responsibility that you need to take up. It's time to evolve as a brand and to evolve as a community. The time to change our destiny together is now. I believe in the garden.

Welcome to the garden ⛩️ If you just got here, or need a refresher, @emilyrosemcg + team have you covered. Please share with a new bean 🫡 IKZ!

Satoshi Nakamoto changed the world one October 31st. The vision and spirit of Satoshi’s invention is what drew me, and many at Chiru, into this world. Powerful ideas like freedom to transact, censorship resistant networks, and true decentralization. Personally, the idea that collaboration is possible in zero trust environments resonates as an inspiring ideal of the kind of world we could build. I’m idealistic, I think everyone in the garden is idealistic in some way. Cypherpunk philosophy aside, the streetwear brand SATOSHI NAKAMOTO gave us all the raw, dark, dystopian energy of a world wrestling with god-level technology. This hoodie is fking dope (period). I am an absolute hoodie maniac, I’m Carrie Bradshaw but with hoodies instead of Manolo Blahniks, I know what I’m talking about. Combining this level of quality with PBT technology feels right, and we hope Spirit collectors will wear this suit of armor with pride. (check out satoshinakamoto.cloud/) The collector experience is by design non-linear and aims to be surprising. Using Emblems to determine the nature of drops feels right to how we view the collection and especially the 10,000 Azuki, at the center of it all. However, a note of caution to those trying to forecast the future, we prioritize what will make a drop or a story feel dope, not some overly mathematical “collect this then get that” mechanic. If you are trying to sweat the Emblems system, drawing lines on charts, and using a spreadsheet to calculate future EV you might be missing the whole point of the experience.

Reflections from ~200 daily DM chats and ~60 1:1 calls since Elmentals released. Trying to be unbiased, hard to summarize all. 1) The garden is full of resilient, critical, honest and creative mfers. A lot of my conversations started with valid feedback & smart criticism. However, the majority ended with trust, willingness to build, and excitement for the future. The garden is really built different. 2) Reasons to stay and build. We've lost core community and every goodbye hurts. The majority of my conversations focused on why people are staying (brand, relationships, community, past execution, future plans). The community understands how deeply the team cares (based on our words and actions). There is trust to be rebuilt, but the majority are staying. 3) Pressure (and contagion) to be negative in public chats. While the same people are feeling positive in 1:1s. A large number of people feel like they are pressured to be overly negative or overly positive based on their close group. Take a step of perspective, we as humans imitate each others behavior. Azuki is a very passion-driven brand, echo chambers are always bad for us. Consider your positive echo chamber might have turned into a negative echo chamber (both are just as bad for a realistic perspective). Let's talk, i have a realistic picture of where things are at and I will give it to you like it is. 4) Rumors and misinformation. Unbelievable amount of made up information circulating around some groups. Please just ask me before assuming something someone said online is true. 5) BEANZ Honestly, BEANZ has gathered the most exciting group of IP builders. We are here to fight for this brand and its massive potential. 6) Still here, what happens next? We are going to keep connecting 1:1, listening to feedback, answering questions, dispelling rumors and breaking people out of negative loops if we can. We won't stop fighting for the garden. And again, and again, and again... I'm working on a massive thread to thank all the people that have taken the time to care for each other in the garden, hosting spaces, building, commissioning art and defending this beautiful community. I'm full of energy and purpose for the long and exciting journey ahead. I can't wait to grow my team with more like minded individuals and to keep building a healthy, smart, critical and resilient community. IKZ

People connecting at the cutting edge of modernity, technology, or even legality form a community that generates culture. These outsiders are ignored, laughed at, and persecuted until they inevitably take over. Slowly at first, then all at once.

Badges are a subtle yet powerful mechanic for decentralized activation. We love memes, memes make the world go round. When a meme becomes powerful and reaches all corners of our community, we make a Badge to celebrate it. Your creativity and passion is now part of your journey as a collector. Flywheel spin complete. More on Badges 👇 Collector Profile reflects different aspects of being in the garden. Emblems are tied to collector milestones (what you own, buy, trade and mint on-chain) and drops (see Gus Vinyl). Badges represent the involvement of the individual in the shared story of the garden. Badges can only be achieved through living the story, they are awarded for participating in significant moments, and the bragging rights are the whole point of them. The “we never left ⛩️” meme is of the true spirit of the garden, it could only be @SDP808OD starting something so raw and real. Interestingly this meme started a “I just got here” meme that really made me fired up for the future. To all of you who “just got here” I hope you had a warm welcome and let me tell you that you get it, this is what being part of the garden is all about. The badge is now available for everyone who posted “we never left ⛩️” before Oct 26th midnight PST. If you don’t have it, open up a ticket in Discord with a screenshot (NO LINKS) of your tweet. And yes... if you tweeted “I just got here” before Oct 26th midnight PST you can also get the badge… but I’m going to hide that info at the bottom of this thread, keep up newbie.

While we work on new products and programs for our community, Azuki Love Island Season 3 (BEANZ) is upon us. I wanted to share notes on what ALI means to me as Head of Community.

yes i was at Google for ~8 years as a Product Manager and yes I am in discord at 1 AM answering all (some quite repetitive) questions about @animecoin thats what community over everything means Azuki collectores are treated like the legends they are, no shortcuts no resource spared ⛩️

testing something... who can see this post?

The garden changed my life. Making this community win is all we want to do. Founders and everyone @ChiruLabs have that same fire in them. Nothing can change that. We grow together. One Garden ⛩️

GM We rise together. We build together. We grow together. On day at a time ⛩️

Today we introduce quarterly Community Equips, a significant step towards deeper community ↔ team collaboration. This week we will highlight three amazing @GRDNCaretakers and the brands they have built. Here are some thoughts. Garden Caretakers is the place for anyone building with their IP in the garden. This group meets biweekly, and the most dedicated builders in our community help each other and advise us on what resources they need. If you are making something with your Chiru Labs NFTs, this is the place to be. Equips are fun and thematic, cosmetic changes to your Azuki that have become very popular in our community. They are emergent, meaning that we discovered how impactful they could be through iterating with the community. We love emergent ideas in the garden. Equips are crazy popular in our community, and generate millions of impressions during special events. We use those metrics when locking in deals with partners, as a huge value add to partnering with us. Equips = $$$. We have been working closely with Garden Caretakers to pinpoint the needs of IP builders. One thing we noticed early on is that our community builds dope products, but that X algorithms put a lot of pressure on the builders to also market. That’s something we want to tackle with quarterly Community Equips. By opening up our most popular viral marketing tool to the community, we are trying to boost the visibility for a project, leading to higher awareness across the garden. “Distribution is Queen”. This program will be open to Garden Caretakers, we will be discussing the requirements with them on our biweekly calls and fine-tuning what it takes to get this level of support. Whenever we open up a new resource for the community I have to shoutout the absolute legends that did it before @redbeancoffeeOF, @average_sunday, @SeizuyaOfficial, @ikigaiteashop @CaptainZookit @RenRen8980 (and many more) would have really benefitted from this on their launches. As our brand grows and matures, it unlocks new resources… but we can’t go back in time. Pioneers and OGs show us the way and should always get massive respect for being first. Over this week and next, I will be posting about the accomplishments of the three wonderful brands that we are highlighting. I hope you all join me on posting the equips all over the timeline (yes, you can also farm that one coin) and support our community brands!

UPDATE: We never left ⛩️ badge. Re-opening the window to earn this badge until midnight PST, October 30th. Instructions on Discord. You will also be able to request this badge at any time, and if you prove you have been in the garden through ups and downs it will be granted. IKZ

Azuki is releasing episode 1 of our anime anthology in April. Taniguchi-san is the Creative Producer.

Fuck it, Shrek your wallets

1// Thrilled to welcome @alexjmingolla to the @ChiruLabs marketing team. His expertise in web3 content creation will be an asset to @Azuki & @BEANZOfficial. Brands in web3 can’t underestimate the importance of memes and (yes) quality shtposts. More 👇

Loading up 3x Azuki Passport events for the summer ✈️ Garden Tour is over, but Azuki local communities are not stopping. More stamps, more garden vibes around the world ⛩️ Details soon(tm)

If you are: -> making something with Azuki / Beanz art -> organizing a local Azuki event -> thinking about something cool for Azuki My DMs are open. Here to help, book time, chat. Help me spread this, RT, tell a friend! ⛩

yo, gm beans red bean, taken 🫘 garden, entered ⛩ process, trusted 🙏 Azuki 🫡 I’m locked in 🔒⛩ IKZ! if you are too…

Looks like Seoul 🇰🇷 swept the @BEANZOfficial x @_LINEFRIENDS floor 🫡🧹

📢 IMPORTANT FOR TODAY 📢 Let's all get on Youtube to watch Ep. 1 at 9:55am PT. Will use the "premiere" feature on Youtube, we all get to chat live while we watch! Let's show up for web3 IPs, I hope everyone supports a first milestone in a journey towards mass adoption of an NFT community & brand. It'd be ideal to max engage on the Youtube chat, this is the time to show the power of our community and what a web3 IP can achieve (also, algorithms) Later today, at 6PM PT, you can listen to @emilyrosemcg interview @febtea and @steamboy33 for behind the scenes stories into the making of Episode 1. See you in Discord After that, we will be able to read some lovely misinformed takes on the TL about how the episode is too short and all that midcurve chatter. Will have plenty of time for that too, surely, my ask is that we keep it civil and explain why a short form anthology is such a smart way to hack into the industry. There is a lot more content, product, and episodes in the works, and people were always going to hate on the first one. Remember "if you stop at every dog that barks, you will never reach your destination". Countdown for episode 1 begins at 9:55am PT and the episode releases at 10am PT on Tuesday, April 30th IKZ!

Azuki Always ⛩️

GM and HAPPY BEANZDAY A new feature dropped in the Collector’s page (multi-walllet support) 🫡⛩

gm beans what will the new year bring? (only answer beans)

The first episode of our short form anime anthology is set to release in April 2024 🫡

Azuki mfers will see this and think “hell yeah”

yo 2+ years filled with purpose and personal fulfillment. Thanks for picking up the phone that day and asking me what I knew about setting up discord. I have to admit that i had no idea and totally bullshitted u because i was dying to work with you and Chiru on the NEXT BIG THING. No regerts!

Excited to announce @waleswoosh as Researcher in Residence. Azuki is proud to support wale's insightful and well-researched threads. His perspective is impartial, thoughtful, and much needed in the web3 space. More👇

GM! Chiru Labs has put together the smartest, most creative, and caring group of people I’ve ever worked with. We’ve grown a lot, and every new person that comes in brings energy. Its hard not be excited about what we make next. 🫡⛩️

looking for @animecoin warriors its time to go DEEPER

Welcome to the garden 🫡⛩ Tag a new Azuki / Beanz / Bobu let me salute them and follow. IKUZO!

if you saw the vision from the start and have held conviction for 3 years give me one thing right now give me a yo say with your chest ⛩️

doxing was vulnerable and a bit scary, but I wanted to represent what we've built together over the years and mak a promise to myself and everyone that put in so much work that the future is just starting overwhelmed by all the love the garden has shown me with @animecoin so close, i don't have the time or mental bandwidth to fully sit with it and lay out how meaningful this work is to me, just know that every time you make something and get hyped for it.. it means everything to me, my team, and validates all the sacrifices made to get here Azukis manifesto sort of poured out of me when I was deciding to commit to a job that nobody really understands fully yet, @Zagabond and the @Azuki team gave me every resource and the time to figure out what it could be. there are still so many opportunities and tough challenges to solve, the future is bright we grow together ⛩️

'Drawing' is another way to say "raffle". Stop DMing me crayon drawings of topless @BobuBeanFarmer

RE: OPENSEA DELISTING EMAIL Investigating a suspicious mass email by @opensea (allegedly) saying that multiple Azuki have been delisted. We are reaching out to figure out what might be happening. PLEASE DON'T CLICK ON ANY LINKS, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A PHISING/HACK RISK

todays vibe ⛩️

If this tweet reaches 6.9k likes I will eat a Bean Chip @locationtba

GM If you are out here toughing it out and being supportive, creating fun for others and being positive for your community you are doing something truly special that you will forever be proud of. Trust me. It’s psychologically rough to go through these market movements and your energy is so important to others. I wanted to start the day with gratitude for everyone who is looking out for their friends. My DMs and calendar are always open 🫡

The amount of support, empathy, awareness, and love that I've received since posting yesterday fills me with faith for the future of this space. Thank you for spreading awareness about SAFE event participation. It's an honor to share this time with you ♥️

Your Azuki, in anime. The first round of community licensing picks is in. Those selected to progress to the second phase will be able to see their status on the Collector’s Profile. Thanks to all that participated, there will be more opportunities to opt in to these paid appearances in our content. We’ve been blown away by the submissions and the excitement on the TL, so we are also adding an 20 additional hand-selected community members (incremental to the 50 profiles who passed the first round of cameo selection through the collector profile raffle earlier this week). We wanted to recognize outstanding co-creation of Azuki IP, these 20 Azuki holders were chosen for their contributions in building out stories and brands stories through their Azuki IP. From these 70 Azukis, the creative team for Episode 2 will be hand-picking the final 20 Azukis that will cameo in Episode 2 of our anthology series. This final selection round will happen over the next months, this is a first for the traditional anime industry, we are onboarding top tier anime talent to web3.

On my way to HK for @Azuki_852Garden event. Amped for what the Passport and Garden Tour can do for local activations 🫡 Have you supported? Thanks to all who have ❤️

How I feel working at @ChiruLabs

no snapshot has been taken stfu

Why “Researcher in Residence”? We use the term for an independent expert who joins our org to conduct research (which will be published externally). It’s different from an employee because there is an agreement of neutrality in their research and separation from the goals of the brand. 👇 @elenism and @waleswoosh will continue to make the research and content they want. Their threads will stay publicly available. They will also research topics for Chiru Labs if we request and they find the topic valuable. This means they might arrive at conclusions that don’t reflect our views, and even call out when we make mistakes. That’s an important and healthy separation. We borrowed the concept from Google (and many others) where a similar program hosts PhDs on campus but keeps their research papers public.

Azuki bad

The Researcher in Residence (RiR) role is a new position in web3, and our mission is to support quality content for the entire space. While we are still working on perfecting it, we’ve also received great feedback from the community on how to improve. We’ll be using this feedback to create further guidelines for this role with full understanding of how they represent the Azuki community and brand.

Looking for underrated art, tweets, memes, and/or community members that deserve a big RT from @AzukiOfficial . Post them on my comments and i'll work my magic. yes, we do a little engagement farming...

reply and ill place you on the emblem that matches your aura emblems earn Collector Status points ⛩️

GM If you are passionate, people will always try to dim your light. You are too positive, too optimistic, too naive. What you believe in will fail… Dimming your light gives them a sense of power and control they are missing. Know yourself. Don’t let them drag you down.

Azuki

24hrs later, honest, I’m not proud of how some have used the responsibility of seeing things early. Majority responded great (yes, even negative feedback) but I feel we are still a long way from working together as team-community. Will keep working. I believe in the garden 🫡⛩️

Today I have the huge honor of celebrating @CountDewKu journey as a builder on the day of a massive milestone launch for @Kigu_inc . Get cozy with this new equip, get an actual Azuki trait as a physical item (wow!) and let’s collectively hug this man. If you view the garden as a network, Dewku is a super-connector. Why? He’s got it, he just emanates empathy, he listens with an open heart, he is loyal, smells amazing, hugs like an angel, but he also cares very deeply and wants everyone to win. Dewku wants the best and will not be satisfied with mediocrity when it comes to the things he makes or how he makes others feel. The products and the website speak to the deep passion that the @Kigu_inc team has for the universe. That passion radiates from Dewku whenever he is discussing anything big or small about Azuki. Kigu is special because we at @ChiruLabs always envisioned the community would want to use the traits as a 1) driver to create subgroups 2) inspiration to make dope products. Everything about this launch feels right to the vision we have of the garden growing as a decentralized entity. Dewku’s list of community achievements is downright intimidating. Everyone loves Dewku, but I’m trying to make it clear that I love him more. Skate the Gallery at Las Vegas was such an insanely well run event, every time I see the videos I can’t believe it was done from a place of love to who this community is. Spirit DAO, Kigu DAO, and so many other communities are lucky to have him as a part of their crew. Thank you for keeping it cozy Dewku! Hope everyone enjoys this drop as much as we enjoy your company ❤️

And again And again And again (…)
