Claynosaurz
Community-owned animated IP founded by former VFX artists from Sony Pictures, Animal Logic, and Framestore. Claynosaurz combines digital collectibles with animated content, building a community-first entertainment brand that has achieved 450M+ views and 530K+ subscribers before launching its first major animated series.

The production model involves community members at every stage, including sharing storyboards and scripts, and featuring holders' digital collectibles within episodes.
