Machine Madness 2022 (MM2022) is our first 64-fighter tournament, but it certainly won’t be our last.
We intend to release new tournaments in the future with Shu-Ki’s constructed using other cool shoes, like Yeezy’s, Lebron’s, Puma’s, etc.
As we progress, fighters originating from one tournament will be able to compete in new tournaments, which sets the stage for some cool battles (e.g., Air Jordans vs. Kobes; Bo Jackson’s vs. Shaq, etc.), and will enable fans to follow their fighter’s “career”.
This is a project focused on answering well the question: How can we use NFT technology to deliver exceptional value?
Our goal from the start has always been to create a universe with an “art-first” mentality. We wanted something unique, with substance, and something with collectible value.
We love that you’re a part of this, and of course grateful for the support and encouragement. We hope you stick around as we create new things for you in the future.
