In the Name of Hanjin

The Web3 elements featured in "In the Name of Hanjin"

As the first artist to drop a Chinese music NFT, Hanjin incorporates some major Web3 intellectual properties in this show:

Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC)

Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) has probably been the most visible Profile Picture (PFP) Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collection. Besides Hanjin, celebrities worldwide including NBA superstar Steph Curry, music diva Madonna and stand-up comedian Jimmy Fallon have purchased BAYC and used them as their social media profile pictures.

BAYC has many notable spin-offs in the metaverse, gaming and real life. From 3 to 5 November, during the performance date, ApeFest HK, an epic event of the NFT community with various virtual and community activities, will be happening concurrently.

Hamsterz

In 2021, Hanjin dropped a private profile picture NFT collection named Hamsterz for fans only. Phase 2 of the collection is in progress.

The Sandbox - Hanjin Music Palooza

The Sandbox is one of the most popular web3 metaverses, if not the most popular. Created by a Hong Kong based company, it has more than 4.5 million users worldwide. In the virtual world of the Sandbox on the blockchain, users can own a piece of land, design games on it, create characters, props and assets for the games as NFTs. Users own all NFTs they create, and these NFTs can be monetised as cryptocurrency. Users can join games built by fellow users and form decentralised, autonomous communities that govern the future of the metaverse. Hanjin launched his Sandbox experience - Hanjin Music Palooza in 2022.

Inspired by BAYC, Hameterz and The Sandbox - Hanjin Music Palooza, three unique helmets have been created by Plain Paper Laboratory Limited for "In the Name of Hanjin".

Nouns

Nouns is a prominent NFT collection and Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO). While most NFTs have a definite supply, a new Noun is generated every 24 hours for auction. 100% of Nouns auction proceeds go to its treasury. Successful bidders automatically become members of Nouns DAO and they can propose projects in metaverse and in real life. If a proposal solicits enough support from other members, the treasury will fund the project. Noun owners are also free to do anything such as opening a business or creating an art work with their Nouns.

Nouns has donated two art exhibits as key props in support of this production.
