Claynosaurz, an NFT-driven entertainment brand that first set up shop on Solana, is expanding to a second blockchain: Sui. The announcement came during Token2049’s Sui Basecamp event, where Claynosaurz CEO Andrew Pelekis outlined how the team is setting its sights on a broader frontier for interactive digital IP—starting with a series of upcoming launches tied to collectibles, gaming, and community engagement.
The expansion builds on a March reveal that Claynosaurz would use Walrus Protocol—a decentralized storage platform built by core contributors to Sui—as its backend infrastructure of choice. With this foundation in place, Claynosaurz is gearing up to introduce a suite of experiences that tap into Sui’s technology. “We’re not moving chains—we’re expanding to shape the future of entertainment,” said Pelekis. “Sui offers a scalable, flexible foundation that empowers us to build entertainment products that feel frictionless, immersive, and rewarding—whether you’re a seasoned Web3 user or brand new to NFTs.”
The original Claynosaurz NFTs will remain on Solana, with newer expansions to the project debuting on Sui going forward. “The Genesis collections will always be on Solana,” said Claynosaurz founder and Co-Creative Director Nicholas Cabana. “That’s their provenance. But for expansionary collections tied to new experiences, we’re doing that with Sui.”
First up is the achievements system, an ecosystem-wide rewards engine that recognizes engagement across gameplay, collecting, and creative contributions. While Claynosaurz’s Solana-based NFTs like the O.G. collection and Saga phone-related assets will still be integrated, the badges themselves will be minted on Sui. The system also includes “soft staking,” letting holders earn rewards from both Solana and Sui assets.
