While preparing a fresh release, the Welly Friends $NFT creators have meticulously elevated each profile picture in the collection, adding rich details that speak volumes at even the smallest size, replacing 3D renderings with handcrafted art. As a result, the Welly World story reveals new narratives about every character.
Shiba Inu pseudonymous lead developer Shytoshi Kusama highlights the unusual “real world” value of new NFTs collection:
Welly is an innovative approach to joining food-based blockchain innovation with $NFT art and creativity. The Welly Friends $NFT Collection promises to be a unique and engaging way to interact with NFTs that also happens to be partnered with a real brick-and-mortar business that is one of the most exciting food brands in Italy
Per the team statement, the creators behind the collection brought a wealth of experience, having collaborated with digital segment heavyweights such as Pixar and Supercell.
$SHIB army supports local food brand in Italy
As covered by U.Today previously, the collaboration between the $SHIB team, the $SHIB army community and Welly restaurants has already hit a number of milestones.
Welly was born from an idea to bring blockchain concepts to a real world food franchise for individuals seeking to experience something new, innovative, healthy and tasty, after initially opening as a Naples, Italy, restaurant in 2021.
Designed by the award-winning digital art studio Masquespacio and after rebranding and partnering with $SHIB, Welly is now a point of interest in Naples for both locals and tourists from all over the globe.
With a large menu filled with exclusive recipes from renowned young chef Flynn McGarry, Welly aims to offer high-quality meals to the fast food world.
