Claynosaurz, an NFT-powered entertainment brand originally created on Solana, is taking things up a notch by expanding to the Sui blockchain. The company’s goal is to be an innovator in interactive digital IP, bringing NFTs to new levels with an achievement system and a mobile game. The news was revealed during Token2049’s Sui Basecamp event in Dubai.
Expanding the Clayno Universe
Claynosaurz is proud to introduce Popkins, a family of 25,000 Character NFT Pals on Sui. This expansion introduces a brand new intelligent species to the Clayno universe. It enhances the mythology of the brand and creates really interesting new touchpoint opportunities. Their decision to migrate to Sui is indicative of Claynosaurz’s larger goal of producing a more dynamic and rewarding experience for their users.
Beyond that, the company is currently working on an achievements system, meant to function as an ecosystem-wide rewards engine. It will reward and acknowledge stewardship as a form of engagement that can include not just gameplay and collectibles but user-created content in the Claynosaurz ecosystem.
"Sui offers a scalable, flexible foundation that empowers us to build entertainment products that feel frictionless, immersive, and rewarding—whether you're a seasoned Web3 user or brand new to NFTs." - Andrew Pelekis
Gaming on Sui
Claynosaurz is currently working on its first mobile game, to be released on iOS and Android in 2025. Additionally, the game will be featured on the SuiPlay0X1 gaming handheld. This step is another example of Claynosaurz’s dedication to delivering immersive, inclusive, and fun gaming experiences. This shrewd move will indeed grow the Clayno universe. To do so, it wants to bring a wider audience to its interactive digital intellectual property.
The release of the mobile title on Sui demonstrates the blockchain’s remarkable potential. It proves Sui’s capacity to host meaningful, high-performing gaming applications. Claynosaurz is taking full advantage of Sui’s infrastructure to provide players with the most seamless and immersive gaming experience possible.
Solana and Sui Integration
Though Claynosaurz grows to Sui, its Solana-based Claynosaurz NFTs will still be functional and fully integrated within the ecosystem. Badges will be newly minted on Sui, forming a new bridge between the two blockchains. Claynosaurz takes advantage of the best features of both platforms. This strategy is why he’s been able to maintain the value and authenticity of his original NFT collections.
"The Genesis collections will always be on Solana. That's their provenance. But for expansionary collections tied to new experiences, we're doing that with Sui." - Nicholas Cabana
Claynosaurz is using Walrus Protocol, a decentralized storage platform developed by core contributors to Sui, as its backend infrastructure. Claynosaurz CEO Andrew Pelekis and Co-Creative Director Nicholas Cabana have their minds set on taking their company into completely uncharted territory. They are committed to deepening their interactive digital intellectual property.
