“In celebration of #CASIO Watch’s 50-year legacy, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of exclusive commemorative NFTs inspired by iconic CASIO timepieces, all within the YoPort of Astar zkEVM’s Yoki Origins journey!”

The Japan watchmaker has inked strategic connections with creators who would be responsible for creating the digital collectibles in this collection.

Notably, the Casio watch NFT collection comprises eight pieces (artwork), showcasing a blend of different creator’s work. Each piece of art would be a representation of a popular model of Casio watch.

Casio NFT to Utilize Astar zkEVM’s Yoki Origins

This Casio’s collaboration with Astar zkEVM, apowerhouse forged by Astar and Polygon, is crucial as it would help enhance scalability. A few months ago, Astar zkEVM, powered byPolygonChain Development Kit (CDK) began to use Yoki Origins for its gamified user onboarding experience. In this new collaboration with Casio, the Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution is bringing onboard the Yoki Origins experience.

The Yoki Origins will feature the Casio YoPort capsule machine, one of the watchmakers’ creations. Casio has the YoPort in two variants, allowing interested holders to either purchase one NFT or eight NFTs. The art of this piece is not available for viewing until May 10 which has been set aside as Reveal Day.

Those who participate in the sales of the Casio watch NFTs stand the chance of winning different prices including an original G-Shock and Astar worth 10,000 yen equivalent to about $64. The watch would carry the Astar zkEVM logo.

This marks another of Casio’s foray into the NFT ecosystem. Eight months ago, the Japan popular watch brandlaunched thevirtual G-Shock watch on Polygon’s protocol. It was followed by the launch of a NFT-based collection of community access passes. Users were allowed to claim one of the 15,000 NFT-based G-SHOCK creator passes.

Interesting NFTs
trump 2020
This is a photo i took of my son playing around in one of our cat carriers, redressed to express the concern and damage the continuation of the trump administration could bring to the world in 2020 and beyond. Unlike the majority of my historic work found on opensea, all content was conceived and taken by me, so felt perfect to use as my first piece on Known Origin.
PURRFECT FOR MISTLETOE!!
Mahalo! I'm PURRFECT FOR MISTLETOE!!. I'm a Dispensary Clerk by day, and I like talking about how much I lift by night. I would give it all up for a Chanel purse. Let's pawty!
The Harvest
An anthropomorphic figure stands, wide eyed, staring at the viewer; its body masculine, muscular, and humanoid. Its “mind” dissociates into a conglomerate of structures resembling feathers, grain, teeth–as well as a radial flower “node”, casting linear rays throughout the composition. To his left, a vat of bodies gesture and writhe in a kind of amniotic soup, attended by a video game robot. The bot's red display reads “uWu”. Behind the robot and filling the left side of the composition is an archaic figure composed of a variety of vintage objects and symbols. Among them are a hardbound book with ancient cuneiform scripts, indicating barley, beer, bread, ox, house, and sky, behind which is a grimacing, salivating jagged toothed maw; and an old Commodore floppy drive. The figure’s head tilts toward an illuminated crescent moon, suggesting the Egyptian Sacred Bull. The archaic figure is composed of a variety of mutating cells, which shift in color, and pattern; eventually breaking free into an ephemeral broadcast of bubbles which move across the background. The work came into being against a psychological introspection, which included associations to pop culture such as alien abduction and pod people, as well as quite a bit of reflection on grains as a symbol of civilization, agriculture, sustenance, life, and imbibing (mainly whiskies).
Brave Samurai
This is the second collaborative piece that I have created with the very talented Dutch artist, @eattheart23. Here, a samurai warrior stands guard, honour bound to protect his master even to the death.
