In Brief

SHIB, a leading name in the world of decentralised finance (DeFi) cryptocurrencies with millions of holders globally, has announced the relaunch of the Welly Friends NFT Collection. This innovative NFT series supports a well-loved restaurant and catering business in Italy.

The Welly Friends NFT collection began in 2022 to support the expanding Welly restaurant chain. Since then, Welly has grown into the catering business, prompting a complete redesign of the NFT collection. The creative team has transformed each profile picture from 3D renderings to detailed hand-drawn art, adding rich details that stand out even at small sizes. The Welly World story universe has also been expanded, adding new narratives to these designs.

The Welly Friends NFT collection offers something for every NFT enthusiast. It has high growth potential for investors, a unique addition for digital art collectors, and a sense of community for SHIB and Welly fans. The artist behind this redesign has extensive experience working with major companies like Pixar and Supercell.

“Welly is a fresh approach to combining food-based blockchain innovation with NFT art,” said Shiba Inu Lead Developer Shytoshi Kusama. “The Welly Friends NFT Collection is a unique and engaging way to interact with NFTs, backed by a real restaurant business that’s one of Italy’s most exciting food brands.”

Welly started with the idea of bringing blockchain concepts to a food franchise, offering something new, innovative, healthy, and tasty. It opened in Naples, Italy, in 2021. Designed by the award-winning studio Masquespacio, Welly has rebranded and partnered with SHIB, becoming a popular spot for chicken lovers and more. With a menu featuring exclusive recipes from the renowned young chef Flynn McGarry, Welly aims to provide high-quality meals in the fast food world.
