Knittables: The Future of 3D-Animated NFTs That Offer More Than Just Collectibles
Knittables: The Future of 3D-Animated NFTs That Offer More Than Just Collectibles
The world of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) has exploded in recent years, and numerous innovative projects are emerging to elevate the industry. One such project is Knittables, a collection of 10,000 3D-animated NFTs residing on the Solana blockchain. These charming knit dolls are not only aesthetically pleasing but also fully 3D and compatible / interoperable with other applications, such as video games where they can serve as avatars.
What distinguishes Knittables from other NFT projects is their commitment to maintaining the highest quality while ensuring that their NFTs can be used in real-time game engines and are compatible with various Metaverse standards, web and AR applications, and much more. As a Knittable NFT owner, you possess not just a digital collectible but a versatile asset that can be used in different virtual environments and applications without compromising visual quality during gameplay.
The Knittables collection is divided into three tribes: the Protos, the Evos, and the Neos. Each tribe represents a distinct era in the history of the Knittable Tribe. The Protos are the roots of all Knittables and embody wise spirits. They are kind, respectful, and patient creatures that only resort to violence in self-defense. The Evos are the rebels, living in the present, seeking adrenaline without fear or regard for the potential consequences of their actions. The Neos are the visionaries, heavily reliant on technology and adventurous.
The Knittables’ backstory provides a solid foundation for expanding the narrative in various directions and lends itself to extension into traditional web2 products, thereby adding value for NFT holders. The team behind Knittables has a diverse skill set, with extensive knowledge in 3D and VFX design, procedural pipelines, entrepreneurship, coding, and marketing.
Some of the most important aspects of the Knittables project that have captured attention are the concept of evolving tribes and the numerous applications of the NFTs themselves. This community-driven approach sets Knittables apart in a sea of other NFT projects that solely focus on the monetary aspect of NFTs. The team is committed to community engagement, regularly conducting surveys, community votes, and involving the community in their decision-making/design process as well as future plans for the project post-mint.
What has impressed many is Knittables’ dedication to organic growth. They reject the idea of using paid influencers with artificial engagement and purchased followers. Instead, they concentrate on slower but more sustainable long-term community growth. Their move towards bringing things to life, such as creating plush dolls based on the NFTs, is an innovative and appealing concept they refer to as “Phygital” (physical + digital). This approach will enable the Knittables community to possess physical representations of their digital assets. They are partnering with Cupcake Protocol, the same company that produces physical items for the NFT project Claynosaurz. These physical versions of Knittables will be available for holders through a claiming process as well as purchasing them with $BONK token. Each doll will come with an NFC tag that allows the buyer to mint an NFT for free. Once minted, the NFT can be transferred to another wallet and sold on a marketplace, further increasing value for NFT holders.
Knittables recognizes the challenges of introducing new users to the world of NFTs and cryptocurrency. They believe that the Phygital Knittable has enormous potential to attract new users to NFTs and cryptocurrency and that lowering entry barriers for new collectors is essential for achieving mass adoption of these technologies. They argue that the current process of purchasing an NFT is quite complicated, involving the creation of a wallet, funding it with fiat currency, converting it to cryptocurrency, opening an exchange account, visiting a marketplace, and minting an NFT. The physical doll, however, would contain an NFC tag that can be tapped with any NFC-ready phone to mint an NFT without the need for a wallet, crypto, or anything else. This eliminates all the entry barriers currently associated with buying an NFT. Moreover, if you hold one Knittable from each tribe (Proto, Evo, Neo) and an NFT from their side collection “Yarn of Life,” holders can burn their Yarn of Life NFT and receive a free Phygital in exchange, only needing to pay the shipping cost.
Knittables is about providing everyone with the opportunity to be part of an exclusive community, forging meaningful bonds and connections with one another that endure for years to come. As the project team puts it, “Doing it the tight-knit way, together as a tribe we stay!” The team behind Knittables has taken great care to ensure their NFTs are of the highest quality and compatible with real-time game engines, as well as various Metaverse standards, web, and AR applications. Their focus on quality, usability, community, and storytelling sets them apart from the competition.
And what is an article without an exclusive hmm? Knittables reveals that the tribes are about to enter a war! They are introducing a staking mechanism for holders to participate in battles and potentially win exclusive prizes. The story centers around the tribes, whose world is endangered by an unknown threat. Although the war’s outcome remains uncertain, it is clear that the Knittables will never be the same again.

**Update- “Update to my readers: I had promised exclusive content from Knittables to be in this article, which was agreed upon to be shared with their audience before they released the information themselves. However, I regret to inform you that Knittables has failed to honor their end of the agreement and has refused to share the article with their audience until after they have released the information themselves, which is a clear violation of our agreement & to this date 3/21/23, they have still not honored the sharing of this article. This has resulted in my article not getting the desired exposure to their audience, which was the whole purpose of the exclusive. I apologize to all my readers for this situation, which was out of my control. I have made all the necessary contracts and precautions to avoid any such issues in the future. Thank you for your understanding.”
In conclusion, Knittables is an NFT project with much to offer, and we eagerly anticipate where they will lead us.
