Currently, NFTs, or so-called Profile Pictures (PFPs), used as icons on social networking sites, etc., are gaining ground. Popular PFPs are traded at high prices and have value as an asset. The utility of PFPs is also attracting attention, such as the ability to participate in exclusive events by owning a particular PFP.
Various unique PFP projects are currently being launched in Japan.
One such project is “VeryLongAnimals,” or “Verilon,” which features dot-picture animals with long faces. The adorable appearance of the animals has attracted a lot of support, and the price per NFT is increasing with each passing day. We spoke with Akim, the founder of Verilong, about industry trends and Verilong's future development.
