Merry Christmas Everyone! We have a Christmas gift for you! Reply with one wish you genuinely want this year. Keep it real and within reason. Like + RT so more people see it. In 24 hours, I’ll pick 1 or more we can actually fulfil.

We are putting together a small Ambassador group for Blokyz. People who think deeply about collectibles, craft, and community, and want to help build this the right way. If this sounds like you, application form is in the comments

Blind boxes or Dark boxes? Blind boxes are not new. Anyone who’s collected toys or cards knows them and has probably bought them at some point. What we’re seeing in crypto lately aren’t really “blind boxes” but it’s closer to dark boxes. Because collectors are kept in the dark. Serious figure/card collectors actually respect blind boxes when: - the odds are transparent - the set structure is clear - and the mechanic serves the IP + story, not just the project treasury The good part of a dark box is simple: even entry price, uneven outcomes. Everyone pays the same, some get lucky. But that is also what a casino is. As someone who collects physical figures, I collect with intent. I want to know: - what I’m chasing - what my odds are - how I can improve them - and if I miss, can I just buy the thing I actually want? Simply put, I’m not against randomness. What I’m against is opacity. I care about completing sets. - Can I get all 10 Strawhats? - Can I get every version of Luffy across each arc? With a dark box meta, I don’t even know what the full set really is. And yes, this is crypto, a lot of it behaves like a giant casino. But for projects that already have strong cultures and real collector bases, wouldn’t dark boxes dilute that culture? To me, dark boxes often feel like a way to hide fundamental flaws in a set. If the set is genuinely well-designed, why not run a proper blind box with clear structure and odds? Randomness is awesome. I say it again, I love blind boxes. But there has to be a method to the madness. As a collector, where do you stand: Blind boxes, dark boxes, or no boxes at all?

Crafting the @ponkehq Bloky was both a unique opportunity and a challenge. We see Ponke as one of the true pioneers of crypto content, a community built around top-notch creativity and expression. We’ve seen Ponke play golf and serve burgers; whether it’s their GM posts or market memes, there’s always that effortless charm and mischief that makes Ponke, Ponke. So how do you capture that in a Bloky? Well, who’s more effortless, charming, and mischievous than a gangsta? So here we have it; the Gangsta Ponke Bloky.

Do you want to play! Say hello to our friend! The Ponke Bloky arrives in style. Its been an absolute pleasure working with @ponkehq team on this one. They have been content pioneers! Watch this space for more details!

A fresh wave of Bloky partnerships is going live soon! Our mission remains the same: Bring the strongest Web3 communities together under one roof, one form factor, one movement. Guess who is joining the Blokyz universe next? 👀

Crypto is for everyone, and no one embodies this better than @coingecko While traditional finance evokes haughty uptight suits, Gecko feels like a friendly neighbor who may be simple on the outside but has a stack to be envious about. The Gecko Bloky aims to capture the free spirited and carefree life that symbolises the financial independence of today. Keen eyes will spot a Rex cameo, too.

Incredibly proud to have been able to faithfully create a Gecko blocky! Also a huge shoutout to the @coingecko team, they are amazing partners to work with! watch this space for more updates!

Our vision is to make a Bloky for everyone. From Web2 to Web3 and beyond, each Bloky captures the essence of a community, giving form to its shared identity. Our mission is to design phygital collectibles that embody the energy, creativity, and ethos of the world’s most passionate tribes. We are slow and deliberate. Every shape, color, and texture is refined until it feels inevitable, we’d rather take more time than compromise on craft. We work closely with our partners, learning what makes their communities unique and translating that spirit into form. You’ll see these values reflected in everything we create.

What makes a Bloky special? Read below for a peek behind the process Each Phase 1 Bloky belongs to a limited-edition physical run, created in collaboration with the most iconic communities in Web3. Only 100 pieces per design, handcrafted with our partners to translate their vision, culture, and ethos into form. Every Bloky is produced at our certified factory using high-fidelity PVC casting and finished in a custom, stackable display box designed by our in-house team. Once ready, these Blokyz will find their way to the top 100 members of each community. By the end of phase 1 thousands of Web3’s most passionate believers, will be holding a piece that represents their tribe And this is just the beginning!

Feeling equal parts Nervous, Anxious and Proud as we finally share Bloky to the world. Something we have been working on for the better part of the year. It took a team of 20, working through countless sketches, prototypes, 3D models, skins and sleepless nights over six months, refining every pixel until it finally felt right. Blokyz is our attempt at building a designer collectible that can embody and showcase any idea, any concept, any community. We can’t wait to show you what’s coming next with our partners. We are just so incredibly excited! All this would not be possible without the amazing team and partners that have been supporting this project. So what’s next! Well so far Bloky was just ours, now it is yours too. While we can’t reveal a lot, expect some really special things for our most active community members and early believers!
