# Claynosaurz # Claynosaurz Inc.
**Type:** Character IP / NFT project Community IP company building entertainment franchise around dinosaur characters, originating from Web3/NFT community. Pursuing mainstream animation industry positioning through professional studio partnerships.
**Status:** Active
**Blockchain:** Migrating from Solana to Sui
## Overview ## Business Model
Claynosaurz is a character IP project that originated as an NFT collection and is expanding into animation and consumer products. The project positions itself as attempting something "Clayhistorical" — building community-owned IP with mainstream entertainment ambitions. **Community IP with concentrated creative control:** Community provides financial alignment and ambassador network; founder Nic Cabana makes creative decisions with professional animation talent.
## Key Personnel **Distribution strategy:** YouTube-first launch, followed by traditional TV and platform licensing.
- **David Horvath** — Brand Management & Consumer Product Growth, Asia (hired July 2025). Co-founder of Uglydoll, executive producer of Nickelodeon Jr.'s Bossy Bear, Sony's Uverchan, NHK Japan's LittleBony. ## Key Partnerships
## Strategic Approach - **Mediawan Kids & Family** (co-production partner for animated series)
- **Wildshed Studios** (Mediawan-owned, Bristol-based; showrunner Jesse Cleverly)
- **Method Animation** (producer Katell France)
**Asia-First Strategy:** Following the Uglydoll playbook of building cultural legitimacy in Japan/Korea before global expansion, rather than US-first entertainment model. ## Strategic Positioning
**Distribution Path:** Toys → Animation → Cultural legitimacy, leveraging Horvath's demonstrated track record with this progression. **Asia-first IP thesis:** David Horvath (UglyDolls co-founder) joined to help expand reach, bringing his Asia-first approach (Japan/Korea as cultural gateway to global IP).
**Target Audience:** "Those who don't collect at all, but bring character brands into their daily life" (Horvath) — prioritizing mainstream adoption over Web3-native collectors. **Traditional industry credibility:** Nic Cabana speaking at TAAFI 2026 (Toronto Animation Arts Festival International) signals positioning within mainstream animation establishment, not just Web3 circles.
## Market Data (as of July 2025)
- Floor price: 14.72 SOL
- Market cap: 150,604 SOL
- 24-hour volume: 507 SOL
## Timeline ## Timeline
- **2025-07-29** — Hired David Horvath (Uglydoll co-founder) as Brand Management & Consumer Product Growth, Asia. Floor price rose 16% to 14.72 SOL within 24 hours, trading volume spiked 71% to 507 SOL. - **2025-06-02** — Mediawan Kids & Family co-production deal announced for 39-episode animated series (7-minute episodes, ages 6-12, comedy-adventure format)
- **2025** — Won 31 awards at Collision Awards - **2026-04-08** — Nic Cabana speaks at TAAFI 2026 (Toronto Animation Arts Festival International)
- **2025** — Appeared at Annecy International Film Festival - **2026-04** — Series in production, no premiere date announced (likely Q4 2026 or Q1 2027)
- **2025** — Announced migration from Solana to Sui blockchain
## Notes
Claynosaurz represents a test case for community-owned IP with traditional entertainment ambitions. The Horvath hire signals serious execution of mainstream IP strategy rather than Web3-native community governance. No confirmed animation premiere as of April 2026.
