By combining Animoca Brands Japan's deep understanding of Japanese IP relationships with Quidd's innovative collectible marketplace technology, this collaboration will offer anime and manga fans the opportunity to collect and own unique digital collectibles, including NFTs, of their favorite brands and characters across a wide range of form factors, including digital art, digital decorative pieces, and digital memorabilia. 

 

“Global demand for anime and manga content is skyrocketing,” said Michael Bramlage, CEO of Quidd. “We are thrilled to partner with Animoca Brands Japan, a leading global Web3 company and licensee of prominent Japanese IPs, to help anime and manga fans collect anytime they want, anywhere they reside in the world. This partnership will demonstrate the unique capabilities of digital collectibles as a fast, fun, and entirely borderless way to collect.”

 

Animoca Brands Japan will introduce globally popular anime and manga collectible content through a service built on top of Quidd's technology, making it fully compatible with Quidd's eight million registered collectors based primarily in North America and Europe.

 

Based on the individual collection, items in the marketplace will either be sold off-chain as digital collectibles or on-chain as NFTs, empowering collectors to start building their collections without the need for a crypto wallet, cryptocurrency, or even a credit card. Additionally, certain off-chain digital collectibles will come with the ability for users to convert their collectible into an NFT.

 

“We are excited to strike this technical and commercial partnership with Quidd,” said Daisuke Iwase, CEO of Animoca Brands Japan. “Given Quidd’s proven track record with digital collectibles, robust proprietary technology, and compliance with widely-adopted regulations, it was an easy decision to build our business on top of the Quidd platform.”
