SHIB (Shina Inu), a big player in decentralized finance (DeFi), has announced an exciting update to the Welly Friends NFT collection. This refresh features new hand-drawn art, significantly upgrading from previous 3D renderings. The collection aims to support the Welly restaurant and catering business, a growing Italian food brand.
The updated Welly Friends NFT collection offers something for everyone. Investors will find high-growth potential, digital art collectors can add unique pieces to their collections, and members of the SHIB and Welly communities can enjoy a shared identity. The artist behind the redesign has collaborated with notable companies like Pixar and Supercell, bringing a wealth of experience to the project.
Background of the Welly Friends NFT Collection
The Welly Friends NFT collection was first introduced in 2022 to help support Welly, a restaurant franchise based in Naples, Italy. Over time, Welly has expanded into catering, prompting the need for a refreshed NFT collection. The creative team has meticulously redesigned each NFT, moving from 3D models to detailed hand-drawn images. This redesign also introduces new narratives within the Welly World story universe, enhancing the uniqueness of each NFT.
“Welly is an innovative approach to joining food-based blockchain innovation with NFT art and creativity,” said Shiba Inu Lead Developer known as Shytoshi Kusama. “The Welly Friends NFT Collection promises to be a unique and engaging way to interact with NFTs that also happens to be partnered with a real brick-and-mortar business that is one of the most exciting food brands in Italy.”
Welly’s Growth and Rebranding
Welly was originally launched in 2021 in Naples as a restaurant focusing on innovation, health, and taste. The brand has since rebranded and partnered with SHIB, becoming a popular destination for chicken lovers in Naples. Designed by the award-winning studio Masquespacio, Welly offers a diverse menu featuring exclusive recipes from the young chef Flynn McGarry. The restaurant aims to bring high-quality meals to the fast-food sector.
