The release and accompanying original animated music video produced by Confidential Creative marks a series of breakthroughs for NFT-powered and Metaverse-leaning entertainment. It is the first band made up of entirely NFT characters and personalities, and also represents the biggest cross-community collaboration between several of the most famous communities in the space: CryptoPunks, Bored Ape, Cool Cat, World of Women, and a Wicked Cranium.

"Allies is a music group made up of static on-chain assets that integrate NFT communities through performances, shows and events in the metaverse," shared band co-founder and drummer Cheetah. "WAGMI, short for 'We Are All Going to Make It,' is meant to be a celebration of the NFT and Metaverse worlds, while also rallying more people to join in on the fun, community, and creative potential."
