# Claynosaurz

Community-owned IP project that originated as an NFT collection and is now producing a 39-episode animated series in co-production with Mediawan Kids & Family. The project represents a structural innovation in how community IP engages with traditional production infrastructure through co-production partnerships that preserve community creative control while accessing professional production capabilities.
