Claynosaurz Inc.

Claynosaurz is a Solana NFT collection that evolved into a community-owned IP brand, now producing a 39-episode animated series in partnership with Mediawan Kids & Family. Creator Nicholas Cabana assembled a creative team from Illumination, DreamWorks, Sony, Disney, and Ubisoft to develop four dinosaur friends on a mysterious island. The project represents the first digital collectible brand expanded into a TV series, using NFT sales to monetize early and fund character development before traditional content production.
