14/12/202211/04/2023

Many people are sometimes confused about the relationship between CryptoNinja and CNP.

Are they different projects?
If so, what the difference between them?

Let’s look at this tweet.

https://twitter.com/cnp_en/status/1600394988046934018?s=20&t=_X5MU1faNwTUpVKUmTI2bA

As you see from this tweet, CryptoNinja and CNP are different collections, and each project has each founder.

So 3 steps for understanding well he relationship between CryptoNinja and CNP.

NinjaDAO is a community for CryptoNinja
CNP is a fanart NFT collection of CryptoNinja
CryptoNinja and CNP have different founders

1. NinjaDAO is a community for CryptoNinja

ikehaya started his very first NFT collection, CryptoNinja, before the community.

WOW, 0.15eth ..best price offer.
Though there are only two of them at the moment, more Ninjas are going to show up one after another.
Let’s look forward to it.

ikehaya announced that Rii2, an experienced and talented illustrator, is the designer of CryptoNinja.
He later said that CryptoNinja was very lucky to have found the best designer in Rii2.

I thought he was the only designer for CryptoNinja, so I asked him to do it.

A new discord community named NinjaDAO opened

After he released some characters of CryptoNinja, he started the discord community named ‘NinjaDAO’.

Once we have released up to 25 Ninjas, I plan to launch a community called Ninja DAO.
I’m not sure yet, but I’m thinking it might be for only CryptoNinja owners.
Let’s see how it goes!

– ikehaya 24/09/2021

The official launch date of NinjaDAO is September 20th, 2021.

ikehaya celebrated its first anniversary with a giveaway event!
What a cute Orochi!

2. CNP is a fanart NFT collection of CryptoNinja

Since ikehaya started NinjaDAO, fanart of CryptoNinja has gradually become more and more popular.

Because CryptoNinja is free IP (Though you need to follow the guideline), anyone can use the characters and sell them.

Then someone started a project dedicated to fan art called “NinjartPlatinum Collection”.

His name was road, who later became CNP’s founder.

【ご挨拶】#NinjartPlatinum Collection の準備がいよいよ出来てきました。
10/19にプロジェクトがスタートしてから3週間。ようやく、作品の発表ができるようになりました。
まず、短い期間の中で、素晴らしい作品を仕上げていただいた参加クリエイターの皆さんに感謝します。ありがとうございます。
— road | CNP Founder (@road_ninjart) November 7, 2021

It has been almost 3 weeks since I started this project.
Though it was a quite short time to given, many wonderful and talented creators have done their great work.
I would like to thank all the creators who participated.
Thank you very much.

I have my ‘Generative-ish Ninja’ by the way. I love it!

Now, as you know, road was one of the members who gathered at NinjaDAO and enjoyed his own fan art collection as much as the rest of others.

Of course, as a core contributor, it was also a measure to make NinjaDAO known to more people for him.

Road became an owner of CryptoNinja, Karura

I have been working on several projects such as Platinum Collection, generative-ish Ninja, the Ninjart site, management of a ninja the village in Opensea and so on.
I decided to run for Ninja Owner because I wanted to do something more in-depth for DAO.

– road 27/12/2021

ikehaya accepted road’s offer.

Thank you to everyone who ran for karura owner.
We are pleased to announce that road has been selected.
road is one of our core contributors who has been involved with CryptoNinja since its inception.
I am sure he will make NinjaDao even more exciting with us as Karura!

-ikehaya 16/01/2022

road finally became a CryptoNinja owner on Jan. 16th 2022.

Three days later, on January 19, 2022, the Office Generative channel was opened to start a new project in NinjaDAO.

This was the moment when CNP’s story was born.
