We encourage sustainable choices in production processes and materials #TheClayWay A BRIEF HISTORY CLAY MATES SERIES 1 SERIES 2 The original Clay Mates were the first stopmotion animation NFTs on Cardano. Series 1 consisted of seven adoptable characters, some of which were inspired by notable figures in the Cardano Community. Clay Mate #00 Charlie Birdkinson, was born on 17 April 2021. "We understand that some years ago, Charlie was rushed to hospital after a bird flew inside his left ear. Doctors said there was nothing they could do and the birds took to building their nest inside his brain. His parents couldn't cope and abandoned him. We found him in a tree. He has recovered well and is looking for a mate to smoke cigars & eat steak with." A BRIEF HISTORY EXPANSION PACKS Since April, we have released a number of small scale extras such as Papa's Garage & The Pet Shop. A collection of 'mystery mates' were hidden on our site behind clues, including clay classics; Michael Jordarms, Ice-Gene Demonson, and the Clay Father. A BRIEF HISTORY COLLABS Clay Mates participated in the collaboration event Collabits, recreating 2 Cardano Bits for auction. We were the first official SpaceBudz collaborator with our collection of Clay Budz. More recently, we continue to work with SweetFellas and NFT-Link on ClayFellas, linking the digital with the analogue. Clay Nation is the future of Clay Mates, but Clay Mates is the important and unforgettable history of Clay Nation. Papa Clay, 2021 This section refers to the original 10,000 characters released in September 2021. PRESENT Clay Nation is a collection of 10,000 NFT characters composed of handcrafted, algorithmically assembled clay traits. Bringing the party to the Cardano blockchain, each character doubles as entry to Clay Nation - an exclusive members zone with a festival atmosphere. ‘Good vibes only’, Clay Nation is a space to celebrate unbounded individuality, to bask in positivity and to party in peace.

SMART CONTRACTS SMART CONTRACTS MARKET PLACE UPDATE We have finished the draft of a clay dedicated smart contract marketplace and the code is publicly available on Github. We are almost ready for the launch but we are aware that other marketplaces with smart contract functionality have been released and that more are on the way. Is a clay market place still what our community wants? CLAY-MOC-RACY We will launch the first example of a clay community voting system: 'Should we implement a clay dedicated smart contract market place?' VERIFIED OWNERSHIP Only holders will be able to vote once verified through Discord - date TBA. We plan to then implement a smart contract system for future community votes.
