As the floor price of the blue-chip NFT project Azuki plummets, Zagabond, the anonymous founder of Azuki, tweeted today to reveal his true identity. He is a Chinese born in Harbin. He also announced to the Azuki community that his personal life goal is to be more Well connected East and West.
(Previous summary: ETH exceeded 3850, but blue-chip NFTs such as BAYC, Azuki, and Fat Penguin bucked the trend and lost 20% of their value. Why?)

The blue-chip NFT project Azuki was quite prosperous in the last bull market, and the floor price once reached a historical high of 31.8 ETH in 2022. However, Azuki seems to be no longer prosperous, Coingecko dataIt shows that its floor price has plummeted 66.4% in the past year and 30.4% in the past 30 days. It is currently trading at 4.28 ETH, which is 86.5% lower than the historical high.
However, as Azuki floor prices continue to fall, Azuki’s anonymous founder Zagabond tweeted on the 23rd to reveal his true identity. Perhaps affected by this, Azuki floor prices have increased by 12.1% in the last 24 hours.

The founder reveals his identity and goals
As the founder of Azuki, perhaps in order to improve the transparency of the project and increase the confidence of the community, Zagabond tweeted on the 23rd to share a video of his recent attendance at the Azuki Shanghai event, disclosing his identity. In the video, he stated in Chinese that he is Chinese Man, born in Harbin.
Zagabond said in a tweet that this is the first time in more than five years that he has returned to his home country (since before the outbreak of the new coronavirus), and that his personal goal in life is to better connect the East and the West. Azuki has a strong social presence in the United States. During the event, he heard a Chinese Azuki holder reciting Azuki to him declarationwhich made him feel that this is a global movement.
I am indeed Chinese

Has caused controversy many times
It is worth noting that Zagabond has caused controversy many times before. Last year, Azuki launched a new series of Elementals and raised 20,000 ETH. However, the quality of the sale pictures was not as good as expected and lacked differentiation. In addition, the purpose of the 20,000 ETH was opaque. It once aroused the anger of the community.

Zagabond also exposed his dark history in 2022, and was considered by the community to behave like a rug pull, causing Azuki to be sold off. According to Zagabond, he has developed three projects including CryptoPhunks, Tendies, and CryptoZunks. However, the development of these projects has stagnated and their floor prices have declined due to his departure as the anonymous founder.

Zagabond was even caught pretending to be a woman, using the name “Amanda” and using a female CryptoZunk avatar on the , he said that in the Web3 world, just like the game world, gender does not matter.
