What is Stoner Cats NFT?

Stoner Cats is an adult animated show featuring some top artists from Hollywood and the man who invented ethereum, Vitalik Buterin.
It is one of the first shows that will be fully funded by Non-Fungible Tokens.
Though, you have to buy a token to watch it.
The show is centered on five house cats and an old lady. The characters are voiced by Ashton Kutcher, Jane Fonda, Chris Rock, Mila Kunis, Seth MacFarlane, and Vitalik Buterin.

The Characters

• Ms. Stoner – She is a charismatic person and spreads joy for everyone she meets. Also known as “The Matriarch”.
• Lord Catsington – “The Spirit Guide”, this cat is Ms. Stoner’s oldest dead cat. It keeps sharing knowledge and wisdom from their life with Ms. Stoner.
• Fefe – The smartest cat, but with lots of cat attitude. Also known as “The Alpha”.
• Baxter – “The Hackster”, this is an internet vigilante cat. Can perform hacking and discount internet shopping.
• Hamilton – “The Bold”, always looks to overcompensate and suffers from “little cat” syndrome.
• Reginald – “The Sophisticat”, lives for fine wine and exquisite cheese.
• Dave – “The Free Spirit”, Dave is twin brother to Reginald, has an enormous craving for muncheez.

How did it start?

A group of three friends, Chris Cartagena, Sarah Cole, and Ash Brannon, developed the show. Ash drew and animated every frame of the pilot episode while Chris and Sarah edited it.

Ten years ago, they were working on an animated feature for children, and they fantasized about more adult ideas. That was a time when the Internet was full of exclusive cat-based viral videos. They began to ponder the concept of cats on catnip but in a next-level fashion. 

They joked about the concept and believed it would pass in the next decade.
Today, there are many opportunities for adult animation and TV bingeing, and their idea became a feasible reality. They unpacked ten years of their beliefs, expanded them, and updated them to create a fantastic adult animated show like STONER CATS.

Why are they using NFT?

The team wanted to find a way to retain creative control and financial ownership of the show.
After several weeks of planning, they decided to turn it into an NFT project.
They wanted the viewers to give immediate feedback and involve them in the production process.

They have also planned to put community members’ handles in a scene with graffiti.
Most importantly, funding the show through NFTs allows artists to get their work out and do it quickly.

Sales of Stoner Cats NFT

The Stoner Cats NFT was sold out in just 40 minutes after launch. The NFT collection gathered a total of 3647 ETH, which equals $8.4 million. After spending 0.35 ETH for a Stoner Cat NFT, a user could access all the episodes of the show and the NFT itself.

The sale featured 10420 NFTs of digital cats with unique traits, and the sales money was used to fund the project and promote the show. However, several users didn’t receive the NFTs, due to some technical issues. The Stoner Cats team suggested refunding all the failed transactions.

The problem occurred because so many users were trying to buy the NFTs simultaneously, which eventually clogged up the Ethereum blockchain. And it’s Ethereum nature that users still end up paying the transaction fees even if the transaction fails.
