They are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with the tech. Rather than just building standalone products, they’re creating an entire ecosystem that maximizes value creation, community, and fun! We’re thrilled to be part of this journey.”

As a crypto-native team with a deep understanding of product development and crypto market dynamics, they have collectively launched $1.8 million in NFTs across Ethereum and Bitcoin Ordinals, achieving $40 million in trading volume from their collections.

The Redacted team has also raised $10 million for projects through their consultancy and launchpad, and invested more than $6 million in venture capital. They have also allocated more than 50% of the tokens to the community and ecosystem, positioning themselves as a community-focused team. Assisting the design and build of the Redacted ecosystem is a notable panel of advisors and consultants from industry powerhouses like Saison Capital, Confiction Labs, King/Candy Crush, Amazon, Microsoft, as well as some of the largest crypto and NFT whales and early investors.

Redacted says that it has also captivated the attention of Web3 investors and enthusiasts for its innovative marketing, with more than 150 of the sector’s top “Who’s Who” lists posting their “Redacted” profile pictures as a demonstration of their investor involvement and support in the project. Their key tagline, “Don’t get rekt, get redacted,” is a play on crypto culture, making light of “degens” who ought to invest in reputable teams with strong backers.
