to kemonokaki and to all of you 🐾

Oekaki Connect as a team, community, and body of work continues to grow and with it our ambitions grow as well. We are always looking forward, thinking about what work warrants our focus, and how to bring attention to our work. We deeply care about our art, and will continue to relentlessly produce art in all forms.

2024 has been a very bittersweet year. We cherish our friends, our community, and the many memories we have all made together, and continue to put our best paw forward in order to make 2025 as good of a year it can be! We continue to build out our own world, from games, new platform launches, to exciting art collections and our own manufacturing facility. Oekaki Connect is working tirelessly.

Today we will be discussing some of what you already know, as well as revealing some of what to look forward to in 2025 from Oekaki Connect's dedication and ambition.

I discuss Oekaki with haiku​

Soooo. A looong time ago leancup pilled me on stable diffusion in milady village, it was very early still in AI art, a new anime model just released, we didn't even have .safetensors files. People used hypernetworks and textual inversions to train stuff locally, so the technology was very kinda early (think sd 1.4-1.5 at that time).

I've became a friend of haiku, we released a tiny lil Ghiblady side collection (strawberry juice) that financed me getting a solid GPU and Back then AI projects were just simple img2img and hand curation (if you were not lazy, we were and still are obsessive about curation), but I wanted something else. Those hand-curated projects where essentially 1/1s, but I am interested in generative art, so I thought, what if we make a generative pfp project that recombines prompt-traits and drawn traits for a truly generative NFT? A synthesis of artist and AI.

Learn the secrets to actually onboarding the next billion users through making crypto consumer first.

Crypto prices have gone up. But net users have not gone anywhere meaningful. What's going on?

Builders have been rewarded too much for optimizing for the wrong things which has held crypto back.

Crypto is stuck in the same patterns. Making the same ideas over and over again. Building products by crypto natives for crypto natives. While ignoring the greater world.

We firmly believe that crypto will reach mass adoption. We believe that the total global onchain world, if not the interplanetary onchain solar system, is inevitable. It may still be 10 or 20 years away, but eventually everyone everywhere will own thousands of tokens in their wallets and it will be completely normalized.

We are crypto natives who see the potential of the blockchain beyond the fugazi, we believe that crypto can be more for everyone, because we fundamentally respect the technology and can see that this way of doing things is better than the old ways.

We want to get good people into crypto now so that they can benefit in the long term. Our forward thinking visions are crystallized. We believe this is all going to happen, and so we want to help steer it in a direction that is ultimately good.

Pixelady Maker: Cataclysm will be releasing on Abstract — a people-first chain focused on supporting passionate creators, fostering emergent digital culture, and pioneering consumer crypto.

The Oekaki Connect team is gearing up to ignite a new era on Abstract mainnet.

When Oekaki Connect decided to release Kemonokaki on the Base blockchain we knew that we might face an uphill battle. We accepted this reality, and decided to work as hard as we could to create a beautiful, inspired, and successful project named: Kemonokaki.
