Azuki and Ambush go hand in hand for an NFT fashion collaboration

Azuki creator Zagabond and fashion designer Yoon Ahn, creator of streetwear brand Ambush, announced a collaboration representing the design and culture of the brands, both very popular in the Web3 space. 

The limited-edition collection's capsules, including 1,000 PBT-enabled hoodies, 500 silver pendants, and 50 gold pendants, will drop on November 9 a.m. PT. 

PBT is an Azuki technology standing for Physically Backed Token and ties a physical item to a digital token on the Ethereum blockchain. Azuki successfully experimented with its PBT last month and sold eight gold-plated skateboards for $2.5 million in total. 

This time Azuki and Ambush are trying a drawing mechanism. Azuki holders, then the general public, will need to enter the raffle by spending ETH on the item they want. 

After 48 hours, the winning participants will be airdropped with an NFT and have to redeem their physical items. The others will be refunded their ETH. 

These cute little -and I guess expensive- pendants come with IKZ engravings that stand for "ikuzo" or "let's go" in Japanese, as in "Let's go and set another record sale."

Frank DeGods and @ShiLLin_ViLLian go keyboard to keyboard in online feud

While Azuki and Ambush celebrate their honeymoon, other big names in the community seem closer to filing divorce papers. 

Not the kind of sweet talk Frank DeGods and @ShiLLin_ViLLian (Alex) exchanged publicly over the weekend in a cringe-worthy reboot of the "Dallas" soap opera. 

I'll go ahead and summarize it for you. Alex: My favorite collection has lost 60% in value.Frank: Your lies affect my collection and are toxic to the space.Alex: Not talking about you. I'm having a Twitter Space with other people now.Frank: Let me go!Alex: Bismillah! No! I will not let you go!Frank: Let me go!Alex: I will not let you go!

You know the drill. 

"Is this the real life, or is it just fantasy?" I ask while two of Solana's biggest names are clashing, with community members taking sides and keeping points. 

Wait! There's a new development. I'm told that Alex has punched again. My Lord! He goes after Frank's y00ts collection, implying the art was not ready when it was minted. What will be Frank's reaction?

Let me go!
