Andy Nguyen and Kevin Seo, the foodpreneurs behind the world’s first Bored Ape restaurant, Bored & Hungry, announced the release of the Food Fighters Universe (FFU) NFT collection, which will connect food and Web3.
Launching in May, the FFU NFT collection will comprise 10,000 unique tokens on the ETH (Ethereum) blockchain.
Each purchase will aid in the development of the world’s first NFT-backed restaurant group, whose mission is to create gathering spaces in real life (IRL) and the metaverse while also providing value and experiences to Food Fighters NFT holders.
Artist frothyoatmilk designed the NFT characters, which will feature popular foods such as pizza, ramen, ice cream, and sushi, each with a unique rarity attribute provided at random.
Food Fighters NFTs holders will get access to special events, rewards, and perks in Web3 and IRL.
“We launched Bored & Hungry to show people that NFTs are more than ‘just a JPEG’, that the IP can be used to create brands and businesses,” said Nguyen, co-founder of viral restaurant concepts including Afters Ice Cream, Matte Black Coffee and Trill Burgers. “Food Fighters Universe is an extension of that idea.”
One percent of the revenues from the Food Fighters Universe NFTs will be donated to food sustainability and world hunger charities, beginning with Abound Food Care and Action Against Hunger.
More information about the NFT collection will be provided on FFU’s official Discord channel at https://discord.com/invite/foodfighters.
