Claynosaurz Inc.
Claynosaurz is a Solana NFT collection that has expanded into an animated series through partnership with Mediawan Kids & Family. The project represents the first community-owned IP to reach professional studio co-production scale, with a creative team including veterans from Illumination, DreamWorks, Sony, Disney, and Ubisoft.
The community is described as "co-conspirators who have a real impact on Claynosaurz's future," with community input shaping narrative and content direction. The NFT model allowed early monetization focused on character development rather than long-form content production.

- 2025-06-01 — Announced partnership with Mediawan Kids & Family to co-produce 39 x 7-minute animated episodes through Method Animation, launching YouTube-first before TV/streaming sales. Nearly 1 billion social media views prior to production announcement.
