Wanderers is an upcoming media brand that has made its mark in the Web3 space through its IP. The startup has reportedly maintained over $17.5 million in NFT trading volume and sold $5 million worth of NFTs.
Here’s a quick breakdown of Wanderers’ history:
- Wanderers is a project led by Greenawalt, a professional motion designer and full-time creator who got his start selling NFTs on SuperRare.
- After finding success selling NFTs, Greenawalt gathered a team of writers, musicians, developers, and filmmakers to collaborate and create Wanderers.
- The brand’s portfolio includes three NFT collections, short films, and planets.
- Other launches include WanderNames, live concerts, and an interactive universe.
Wanderers plans to expand its NFT ecosystem to include games and more short films, stories, and live events. The startup has discussed in its blog post using a majority of the funding to develop a Web3 game in collaboration with Blowfish Studios, set to release in 2024.
Blowfish Studios is a coveted games developer and publisher in the Web3 gaming sphere. They have 37 games under their belt so far. The game studio has developed games across all major platforms, including PlayStation and Xbox. Randomine, Forest Grove, and KungFu Kickball are some of their most anticipated titles.
Moreover, Wanderers have shared that Animoca Brands and GameFi Ventures will play a significant role as tokenomics advisors for the project. This is in addition to providing their resources to the startup.
Nick Greenawalt, founder of Wanderers, shared: “As a fan of sci-fi movies growing up, it’s incredible to now be building a multimedia universe full of characters and stories.” Greenawalt added: “We’re blurring the line between web2 and web3, growing from stories and JPEGs into films, music, and gaming. I’m really excited to see how the community reacts to all we have coming.”
Yat Siu, executive chairman and co-founder of Animoca Brands, shared, “Wanderers is a prime example of innovation in IP, the brand succeeds thanks to its art, storytelling, and dedicated community of fans, and its NFTs are an excellent entry point into a universe of gaming, music, and entertainment.”
