Azuki AMA Summary: Plan to vote on updating the Elementals background; "new products" will be allocated to Azuki holders based on points

ChainCatcher news, summarized by NFT community user @lasertheend regarding today's "holders only AMA" with the Azuki team:

Regarding why Elementals closely resemble Azuki, the team stated that they wanted to continue the currently proven successful PFP, but did not anticipate the dilution issue and underestimated its impact. They proposed a solution: the team reiterated the priority of OG holders and announced the launch of a community roadmap to vote on updating the background of Elementals to differentiate them.

Azuki co-founder ZAGABOND.ETH stated that a new product will be launched soon, which will determine the distribution for Azuki holders through "points." He emphasized that the first generation of Azuki will always be more valuable than Elementals, even if the art styles are similar, because the tokens themselves are different.

Regarding the progress of BEANZ: BEANZ is now classified as the 3rd layer within the Azuki ecosystem, below Elementals. BEANZ will be designed as a unique IP targeting a younger audience and the mainstream market. It has an independent roadmap and is more focused on developing IP.
Green Bean is an NFT that has been prepared for a long time; it is not a new PFP but is related to anime, and it will not support trading in the short term.

Azuki is working on developing a new type of anime content, planning to start with short animations as part of their anime works. Azuki aims to create an interactive anime experience for the audience. After watching the show, viewers will be able to interact with non-player character Azuki. Additionally, Azuki hinted at token rewards. (source link)
