The virtual city showcases various locations, each promising an exceptional experience.

Final Thoughts
Azuki’s floor price has experienced a significant increase in recent days. The 10,000 Azuki NFTs were initially sold out on January 12, 2022, for 1 ETH (for one piece). At the time of writing, the floor price for an Azuki NFT on OpenSea is 15.25 ETH.
After the crypto golden age of 2020 and 2021, 2022 was standing by to disappoint. Nevertheless, Azuki made fierce resistance to the devastated market, achieving more than anticipated in the current climate.
The year 2023 seems to be directing the way upward with big players getting back some of their glory, and Azuki will surely be joining them. The team had a strike of successes, such as the collaboration with SpaceX to get the NFT “Bobu” to space, the partnership with Red Bull for an appearance on two Formula 1 cars during the race in Abu Dhabi, and the release of metaverse wearables for its holders.
In its continuous expansion, Azuki’s growing popularity is setting its place near reigning collections, such as BAYC and CryptoPunks. We will be in close range of Azuki’s new steps and accomplishments.
