The origin of Hilumia is unknown, but the concept is “crossroads of the Garden”, and it will be a map that can list various brands (The Garden) built in the past, present and future.

“Azuki” is a project launched by four anonymous members (Zagabond, 2pm.flow, location tba, HoshiBoy) based in Los Angeles with the aim of building a brand centered on NFT. The 10,000 Azuki NFTs will be used as licenses for “The Garden” built by developers and artists.

Azuki has a vision of building a decentralized brand, with plans to expand into physical apparel, events, online games, building a metaverse, and more.

Viewable billboards on Hilumia’s map show upcoming reveals such as Azuki Holder’s Art Exhibition (MODA), Toy Store (Slowpoke’s Toy Haven), Design Studio (Ember Square), and Game Center (9 Lives Acarde). is suggested.

Hilumia also uses the “badges” distributed to participants in events held by Azuki in the past, such as gyms (56 Fitness), dojos (Dojang), ballrooms (Love Island), and skateboard communities (Golden Skate Park). Some places are accessible accordingly.

The booths don’t seem to be open yet, but community participant wale.swoosh pointed out that the Azuki project “seems to be pushing into new territories like games and art.”

Azuki 1st anniversary

Azuki is celebrating its one year anniversary since its release. On January 13, 2010, 8,700 bodies were first put up for sale in the form of a Dutch-O auction that reduces the price according to time. The starting price was 1 ETH (approximately 400,000 yen at the time), and it was designed to drop by 0.05 ETH every 20 minutes, but it sold out in just 3 minutes. After that, the remaining NFTs have been sold at around 1 ETH in public sales from time to time.

Happy 1 year anniversary @AzukiOfficial from the @izakayadao crew, and thank you for changing our lives for the better. The garden has already given such us unforgettable experiences and we know this is just the beginning. Cheers to many more Azuki birthdays to come. pic.twitter.com/LtmktdZpiR
