Launched in 2021, Cool Cats is a globally acknowledged non-fungible token collection featuring a limited edition of 9,999 unique, algorithmically generated NFT avatars stored on the Ethereum blockchain network. Each Cool Cat is a unique, hand-illustrated, blue cat character with a variety of traits like body shape, facial expressions, clothing, and accessories. Cool Cat NFT collections feature different combinations of traits, ensuring no two are exactly alike.

Under this investment, Animoca Brands anticipates creating synergy between the two popular NFT collections, uniting both communities through shared intellectual property (IP), utility, and rewards. The collaboration will bring the two brand ecosystems closer and facilitate the growth and expansion of Cool Cats via the interoperability enabled by Moca Network’s digital identity infrastructure.

To streamline the cool cat leadership, Animoca Brands has appointed Mr. Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, and Kenneth Shek, project lead of Mocaverse and Moca Network, as new board members in the Cool Cats group. While commenting about the Cool Cats investment, Yat Siu, co-founder of Animoca Brands and a prominent figure in the open metaverse and blockchain gaming, remarked:

“We are thrilled to welcome Cool Cats to the Animoca Brands ecosystem. NFTs thrive on the strength of their communities, and by integrating Cool Cats into Mocaverse and Moca Network, we’re deepening these global connections and offering communities a robust ecosystem that delivers value to its stakeholders. Cats have always been the darlings of the Internet, and Cool Cats is one of the most recognized digital brands out there, perfectly exemplifying the global appeal of digital felines.”
