Let’s look back on the past year (Part 1)
Trading volume | 4.3 ETH | World Rank | 133rd |
FP | 1.0979ETH | Number of listings | 123 |
CNP started with four different characters: Mitama the Ghost, Leelee the Panda, Narukami the Hawk, and Orochi the Snake.
One year ago, on the day before the launch, there was a MetaveLive.
What we told you there as a founder is that CNP is not all about the mainstream way of doing things.
A year ago, if anything, the majority of projects were run for investors and people who trade.
In compare to that, CNP targets a different market, a different target user, and a different meaning to the project.
The official CNP home page says,
We welcome all CNP holders to get involved with our projects as “partners” rather than just as fans. Join us in our challenge of creating a new Web3-style IP.
Since the project is to let fans have CNP and become partners from there, there is no role for non-fans to play when they have it.
At the MetaveLive event, we talked about how we hope to go from not being mainstream to becoming mainstream by producing a lot of results.
A year has passed since then, and We think we are getting closer to a situation where our way of doing things is recognized as mainstream.
Let’s look back on the past year!
May 15th
Pre-sale sold out and secondary distribution was active.
850 holders grew to 2,200 by the end of the day.
June 18th
BurNin’ system was introduced and it was announced that new characters would be added.
Until now, for other collections, it has been a taboo to change the contents of the collection.
because changing it would change the rarity ranking.
CNP did not rank the rarity, so we could share with everyone the idea that each NFT is important, even if we change unwanted ones to new ones.
Then came a new character, Luna the rabbit.
She didn’t have a name when she first appeared, but Luna was chosen by a vote by CNP holders.
July 23rd
The CNP Friends smartphone app is now available.
It’s been two months since its release on May 15th.
This was the timing when we decided to make the next development based on an app as our next move.
The app is only available for CNP holders and now you can get points for walking!
CNP holders can communicate with other CNP holders through texting and walking.
July 31st
The first BurNin’ was held!
In Luna’s case, it was more like a FCFS.
We were able to participate in BurNin’ all at once for those who had 10 or more CNPs, so we had to get a lot of Lunas and sell more and more of them.
We needed to come up with a system that would allow newer characters to be treated with more care.
August 27th
Total transaction volume exceeded 3000 ETH!
Many derivative projects appeared, such as CNPJ and CNPR.
September 1
Furusato CNP, which allows tax payments to be made to the community through CNP, was launched.
CNP could be used as a return gift for tax payment.
Furusato CNP is now being rolled out in about 11 municipalities, and on May 28, Furusato CNP will be held in Shirahama Town, Wakayama Prefecture.
Thanks to this Furusato CNP, we have more chances to see CNP in the news, etc.
September 3rd
CNP Friends, a smartphone application, is now available in a test environment.
This is something that would normally take about two years, but we decided to release it in July and were able to release it in September, though it’s in a test environment.
It’s not 100% perfect, but we’ve been sharing this imperfect and in the process of making it.
Now you can download it by searching for CNP Friends in the Apple store or goole play on Android.
September 21st
This day was full of news.
First, we surpassed 4,000 ETH in total transaction volume!
Then, we announced our new character “Yama”, and also announced the development of CNP Land.
This is the timing of the first anniversary of NinjaDAO.
At this time, we were waiting for the right moment to break the 1ETH mark with members.
We think we were gradually getting people to think that having CNP was not just about getting people to buy CNP, but also about all kinds of fun things to do with CNP.
September 26th
CNP Owners, a website for benefits of owning CNP, opens to the public.
CNP Owners is a website that provides information on restaurants and stores that offer benefits to CNP holders!
October 22nd
Total transaction volume exceeded 5,000 ETH.
Start of “Japanese Yen/Bill Payment” support service.
Conceived to make it easier to get involved as a company, not just as an individual.
November 1st – 20th
The second BurNin’ where you can meet the new character, Yama, was held.
Prepared Katashiro as well as Makami this time.
December 26th
We announced the development of a smartphone game.
We decided to name this smartphone game BurNin’ Wars!
When we thought about how we would develop CNP in the future, we felt that simply enhancing the enjoyment of having CNP would not create an IP for the Web3 era.
To go from fan to partner means that the number of people who recognize CNP will increase, and among them there will be people who become fans, and among them there will be people who take one more step and get involved in the project.
December 27th
Number of Transactions Surpasses 20,000!
December 28th
Signed a basic agreement with Softbank Corp.
This will take time.
We’ll take our time and move forward little by little.
We talked a lot, but we talked about CNP until the end of 2022.
Next time, we’ll talk about what we’ve been doing since the beginning of 2023.
