In February 2022, a group of inspired young students launched Kusho World, an anime-style NFT collection rooted in Filipino culture and folklore. The initial collection of 5,555 pieces quickly sold out, capturing the hearts of an international audience.

In March 2023, after a period of mismanagement, Kusho World was acquired by Joe Josue, CEO of Metasports.gg, and original project developer Roi Aguila. Together, they have revived the project with a clear vision: to build the leading Anime x Culture IP for the Philippine market, and to uplift Filipinos making a global impact in Web3.

In 2024, Kusho has begun to unravel it’s community protocol results with a growing contributor core team, two new foundational products being launched, aside from a suite of community led events and media. Kusho World also announced as a pioneering partner on the community platform Yey, by BlockchainSpace (backed by Animoca Brands, Spartan Labs).

Filipinos spend an average of 10 hours per day online, the highest globally. This digital savviness creates a unique opportunity. We see an opportunity to uplift a nation to the future of money and digital freedom via blockchain technology.

Kusho World focuses on attracting and supporting the creation of various products, experiences, and content using the Kusho IP, tools, network, etc. Each use of the IP, and each new tool, product, game, and service adds to the ecosystem, creating a network effect of success for everyone involved.

The compounding cycle looks like:

• More Builders on the IP
• More Eyes on the Products, Services, Tools
• More Users, Community Members, Customers
• More Revenue to Protocol
• More Support to give to Builders on the IP
• Repeat

Kusho World operates with the ethos of fostering collaboration and innovation within its community. We strive to achieve our mission by attracting and supporting the creation of various products, experiences, and content using the Kusho IP. This approach ensures that the community not only enjoys and engages with Kusho World but also actively contributes to its growth and evolution.

Kusho World as community protocol is our design of growing together. Think of it as a shared playground where everyone can build, create, and earn. This is an evolving model to match our philosophy of economic opportunity for all. Here are more of what it means:

• Open Creativity: We provide the Kusho World brand, characters, and tools for you to create new products or experiences. This could be anything from a coffee brand featuring our NFT characters, a YouTube channel with community artists. *Several of the projects you see in our Ecosystem Page are co-owned and co-managed with community members.
• Shared Success: When community projects succeed, everyone benefits. A portion of the revenue goes back into a shared fund, which helps support more community initiatives.
• Network Effect: As more people join and create, the value of being part of Kusho World grows for everyone.

Kusho World is managed by a core team of contributors, building out the foundational brand and tech. However, many of the core team began as contributors and community members with an idea they wanted to build—and Kusho proceeded to support and some have become core products or experiences.
