 <p>Azuki DAO, an unofficial community decentralized autonomous organization surrounding the namesake nonfungible token collection, has announced its <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="rebrand" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/rebrand.html">rebrand</a>ing to “Bean" as it <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="drops" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/drops.html">drops</a> a proposed <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="lawsuit" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/lawsuit.html">lawsuit</a> against the NFT collection’s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="founder" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/founder.html">founder</a>, Zagabond, over a $39 million minting affair.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>In a statement sent to Cointelegraph, Azuki developers said the DAO will <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="rebrand" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/rebrand.html">rebrand</a> into a memecoin project and become part of the Ethereum layer-2 Blast ecosystem. Developers also claims that Bean has also secured $10 million from “prominent investors” for its development and acceleration within the Blast ecosystem.</p>
 <p>The proposed Bean memecoin will have a total supply of 1 billion. Forty percent of tokens are allocated to its treasury, 50% to Azuki DAO members, and 10% to Azuki NFT creator Zagabond. Minting is only available to Azuki NFT holders, who must do so within 24 hours of the token’s launch or face “token burn.”</p>
 <p>The Azuki NFT collection represents 10,000 anime-themed profile pictures (PFPs). In June, a second series of 10,000 PFPs in the Azuki collection, dubbed “Elementals,” was released by Zagabond. Immediately after release, however, users noticed the close resemblance of Elemental PFPs to Azuki PFPs, thereby leading to the dilution of the latter through an increase in supply.</p>
 <p>The price of Azuki NFTs reportedly fell 44% in the immediate aftermath of Elementals’ release. The move also triggered a community lawsuit proposal launched by Azuki DAO against creator Zagabond.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>“Detailed information on financing and a roadmap for future developments will be disclosed shortly,” developers wrote.&nbsp;</p>
