The Shiba Inu ecosystem team has hinted at an exciting transformation for the NFT project in collaboration with their long-term partner, Welly Friends. The team made this revelation in a recent post on X, where they highlighted the upcoming NFT update called Horizon Expands. This update will bring a breath of fresh air to the Welly Friends NFT collection by featuring hand-drawn artwork instead of the previous 3D renderings.
The Shiba Inu ecosystem team drew attention to the Welly Friends team’s revelations during an X Spaces session. According to the details shared, the Welly Friend NFT collection will undergo an artistic reimagination.
The new Welly Friends NFT update will showcase these collectibles and profile pictures with intricate details that highlight their unique personalities and charm. This transformation is a significant departure from the collection’s previous designs.
In addition to the visual revamp, Welly has also expanded the NFT collections to include interesting narratives and adventures. Users will be able to explore a digital scene filled with imagination and storytelling, enhancing their NFT experience.
According to Shiba Inu, the transformation of the Welly Friends collection reflects the brand’s real-world business success, particularly the growth of its fast-food restaurants. Welly aims to demonstrate the potential of NFTs to transcend the blockchain scene by combining digital art with tangible business.
Interestingly, the refreshed collection is designed to appeal to a wide audience, including collectors, artists, and story enthusiasts, emphasizing the power of community and shared experiences.
The partnership between Shiba Inu and Welly has been reinforced by Shiba Inu ecosystem lead, Shytoshi Kusama, in February 2022. The collaboration aims to integrate blockchain technology with a real-world business model, offering an innovative, healthy, and tasty dining experience.
In April 2022, it was revealed that Shiba Inu had acquired a 15% ownership in the Welly fast-food chain, and the collaboration has since thrived. Welly now accepts SHIB as a form of payment and plans to integrate Shiba Inu’s Layer 2 Blockchain, Shibarium.
The Welly Friends NFT collection was introduced in 2022 to support the franchise’s growth and provide exclusive benefits to holders, such as access to franchise licenses and a share of net profits from Welly locations. This approach set a precedent for how NFTs can offer real-world value and community rewards. The recent update aims to expand on these capabilities. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu continues to make strides in the NFT scene with Shiboshis and the recent introduction of SHEboshis, a DN-404 standard token.
