1.
Manga Artist Kamui Fujiwara Joins ELYSIUM’S EDGE (a.k.a. Erikuri)

Kamui
Fujiwara, known for creations like Emblem of Roto, has officially joined
Erikuri, which aims to involve a diverse range of creators and authors through
a shared world model.

Fujiwara
has agreed to support Erikuri’s social initiative, the Erikuri Asia Social
Action project, by creating illustrations for NFTs. The NFTs will serve as a
funding source for the project.

They
will also include practical functions within the game, and with each
transaction, a predetermined donation amount will be allocated to the social
support project. The visuals for these NFTs are scheduled to be unveiled during
the second sale event in the summer.

2.
Issuance of “Meat NFTs” for Dining Benefits at Shibuya Niku Yokocho

An
agreement has been reached with Shibuya Niku Yokocho, one of Tokyo’s largest
meat entertainment platforms, to realize the issuance and implementation of a
new type of Web3-linked initiative utilizing NFTs, termed “Meat
NFTs.”

The
Meat NFT concept involves the utilization of NFTs that can be acquired or
purchased within the Erikuri game or at shops and used at various restaurants
within Shibuya Niku Yokocho, offering dining benefits. The service is aimed to
start with the official game release scheduled for December 2024.

Game
users will be able to obtain coupons as they play the game. This may lead to
increased patronage at participating establishments.

Simultaneously,
the initiative aims to increase the circulation and holdings of ELYGT (ELY
Governance Token, issued by KINGSYSTEM PTE. LTD. in Singapore), utilized in the
project, to enhance the value of the token.

With
the start of the first sale, Erikuri aims to stabilize the circulation and
enhance the value of its proprietary token through the aforementioned external
collaboration facilitated by ELYGT. Its goal is to maintain long-term trust in
token management among customers.

The
first sale will commence from 11:00 AM (GMT) on April 26th (Friday). NFTs can
be used within the game, and the governance token, ELYGT, will also have
predetermined use cases outside the game.
