Baidu Japan Inc. has created CryptoSimeji, which combines the iconic mushroom logo of the Japanese keyboard app Simeji as the IP prototype with kaomoji culture to produce the world’s first kaomoji avatar NFT project.

When the initiative was officially launched in August 2022, all 10,000 NFTs sold out within hours, resulting in a transaction volume of more than $1.1 million, a 166.68% gain. CryptoSimeji has had a significant influence on the NFT community in both Japan and other nations.

Furthermore, CryptoSimeji is Baidu Japan’s first foray into Web 3.0, providing a community established in collaboration with active users.

As CryptoSimeji expands and the brand’s metaverse blueprint is unveiled, committed users, holders, and supporters of the CryptoSimeji platform will be able to earn perks and holder advantages, as well as CS Points, by participating in Type2Earn activities with the Simeji keyboard. Whitelists and NFTs, as well as ether (ETH) and other cryptocurrencies, can be exchanged for CS Points.

The firm’s lead for the CryptoSimeji project said:

“While a fairly new innovation, NFTs are transforming the way individuals invest and share assets with one another, and we are thrilled to be a part of this growing venture as our brand expands beyond the traditional internet to Web 3.0. 

Furthermore, as an AI-powered industry leader, Baidu Japan is building 3D virtual human decentralized applications (dApps) nicknamed “mushroom princess” that can be utilized by anybody. There will also be 3D “mushroom critters” available solely to CryptoSimeji subscribers. We aim to simplify the world with technology, and the launch of CryptoSimeji further highlights our continued, dedicated efforts to do just this.”

CryptoSimeji are available for purchase on NFT marketplace OpenSea.
