Animoca Brands took a big step in that direction recently by bringing the Cool Cats NFT collection into its Mocaverse ecosystem. This unique combination of sound and space has great potential to deepen cross-project digital experiences and user engagement for both communities. Now that Cool Cats has joined the Mocaverse, stakeholders can look forward to more utilities and collaborative possibilities.

The IP currently has a market cap of $410 million and recently became the newest member of Animoca’s Mocaverse ecosystem. This strategic alignment is designed to fuel sustainable, long-term growth and deliver enduring value. This rebranding together brings together two legacy brands. It taps into the interoperability enabled by Moca Network’s digital identity infrastructure. Animoca believes in deepening global ties. Their mission is to foster a healthy ecosystem that serves all participants, placing sustainable growth above short-term speculation.

This partnership will help Cool Cats grow and expand by leveraging Moca Network’s digital identity infrastructure. The OLP infrastructure will better support interoperability enabling seamless interactions across the wider digital ecosystem. Cool Cats holders even unlock more diverse applications and utilities across the Mocaverse. This widens their NFT cultural engagement while deepening their NFT ownership experience.

Benefits of the Integration

Enhanced Digital Experiences

The main objective of this integration is to create more engaging and interactive digital experiences for users. By uniting the strengths of both Cool Cats and Mocaverse, this collaboration aims to offer endless possibilities for NFT holders. These benefits range from unique in-game integrations, exclusive access to virtual events, and even co-created art projects.

Along with the general utility of becoming part of the Mocaverse ecosystem, this provides further expanded utility towards Cool Cats NFTs. This creates unique utility for holders well beyond just an NFT as a digital collectible. The Moca Network's digital identity infrastructure facilitates this by enabling seamless integration with different decentralized applications (dApps) and platforms within the Mocaverse.

  • In-Game Integrations: Cool Cats NFTs could be integrated into existing and future Mocaverse games, providing holders with unique characters, items, or abilities.
  • Exclusive Events: NFT holders might gain access to exclusive virtual events, concerts, or meetups within the Mocaverse.
  • Collaborative Art Projects: The integration could lead to community-driven art projects where Cool Cats holders can collaborate on creating new digital art pieces.

Expanded Utility

Animoca Brands invites you to explore new global connections by welcoming Cool Cats into Mocaverse & Moca Network! With this initiative we hope to jumpstart a strong ecosystem that provides both economic and other value to all of its participants. By uniting these vibrant communities, the integration creates a more cohesive and collaborative atmosphere within the blockchain community.

Strengthening Global Connections

Animoca Brands has detailed four main initiatives to fuel upcoming growth. These programs are intended to promote more active user participation within the unified smart ecosystem. These range from co-development of games, the introduction of a co-branded NFT launchpad and other gamification elements.

Future Developments and User Engagement

So far in 2023, Animoca recently made headlines upon announcing its role in the co-development of three games alongside other Animoca-connected companies. These fun, colorful games were co-created by nWay and iCandy’s talented teams. They’ll include Cool Cats NFTs, providing holders of these digital collectibles the opportunity to bring their assets into immersive gaming experiences.

Co-Development of Games

Mocaverse and Magic Eden have joined forces to create a co-branded NFT launchpad named MagicMoca. This platform will create the infrastructure and environment for the best NFT projects across all cultural sectors (gaming, sports, IP, etc.) to thrive. Holders of Moca NFTs, MOCA Coin, and Moca IDs will have exclusive access to these NFT launches. The rest of the Magic Eden community will have access to this exclusive experience as well.

To provide deeper user interactions, Mocaverse is rolling out gamification elements like “Mocana Missions.” These missions are meant to motivate user engagement and attribute value to the contributors that keep the community vibrant. By successfully accomplishing these missions, users will be able to earn different rewards and unlock new possibilities within the Mocaverse ecosystem.

Gamification Features

Mocaverse encourages community participation, including by selling 40% of its tokens (the highest percentage in the industry) to community members through public sales. This approach ensures that the community has a stake in the ecosystem's success and can actively participate in its growth. Through promoting ownership and contribution, Mocaverse hopes to build a diverse and inclusive community that cares deeply for its success.

Community Involvement

Cooltopia, Cool Cats’ exclusive NFT gaming experience, is an immersive, colorful, gamified world where players can earn $MILK. Both on and off-site, Cool Cats holders can step into a colorful, dynamic virtual environment. This fun, engaging experience makes their NFTs more fun and useful.

Cool Cats Ecosystem: An Overview

Cooltopia and $MILK

In February 2022, Cool Cats released Cool Pets, a collection of 19,999 unique NFT companions. These adorable pets are devoted companions to the Cool Cats. More importantly, they introduce exciting new gameplay features and increased character customization to the ecosystem. Although information on breeding Cool Cats is currently hard to come by, it’s a planned feature that will eventually be implemented down the line.

On top of all this, community support is at the forefront of the Cool Cats project. It assigns 20% of all ETH raised in primary and secondary markets towards exhilarating competitions and raffle draws. This commitment to community engagement has done wonders in building a passionate and loyal following around the Cool Cats NFTs.

Community Focus

Not all collaborations have been successful. Our partnership with Futureverse was severely criticized. This was particularly the case after they announced the cancellation of their debut game in the summer of 2024. This serves as a reminder of the difficulties involved in the NFT realms and the need to choose partners wisely, given the fast-paced nature of NFT technology.

Past Challenges

The integration of Cool Cats into the Mocaverse is accompanied by strategic leadership changes, with Yat Siu and Kenneth Shek joining the board. These appointments are a tremendous signal that they are serious about prioritizing ecosystem growth over maximizing short-term financial returns. That focus on sustainability and long-term value creation is going to increase the utility of Cool Cats NFTs tremendously. This focus is critical to improving the long-term success of the Mocaverse.

Strategic Leadership and Future Outlook

Mocaverse is very excited to collaborate with TON Foundation. Collaboratively, they are finding innovative approaches to jumpstarting consumer adoption for the TON Blockchain and Moca Network. With such collaborations and strategic initiatives, Mocaverse is further solidifying its growing and innovative presence within the rapidly evolving blockchain ecosystem.

Furthermore, Mocaverse has partnered with TON Foundation to explore opportunities to bootstrap consumer growth of the TON Blockchain and Moca Network. These collaborations and strategic initiatives position Mocaverse for continued growth and innovation in the blockchain space.
