Claynosaurz Launches on Sui With New NFTs and Mobile Game

In the fast-evolving world of blockchain games, few projects have managed to balance storytelling, tech, and art quite like Claynosaurz. Known for its adorable yet powerful animated dinosaurs, the project has been a mainstay on Solana since 2022. But now, it’s gearing up for something even bigger. Claynosaurz is officially expanding to Sui, with a brand-new NFT collection, an achievements system, and its very first mobile game on the horizon.

Let’s break down what this expansion means—and why it’s such a big deal for the future of web3 gaming.

The Expansion to Sui: Not a Move, But a Bold Step Forward

During Token2049’s Sui Basecamp event, Claynosaurz CEO Andrew Pelekis made the announcement that set the community buzzing: Claynosaurz isn’t abandoning Solana—it’s expanding to Sui.

“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.”

Sui is a next-gen blockchain known for its high throughput and smooth user experiences—ideal for gamers who expect real-time action and zero delays.

Genesis Stays on Solana—New Collections Arrive on Sui

For OG Claynosaurz holders, there’s good news: the Genesis collection—those 10,222 charming dinosaurs that started it all—will remain firmly on Solana.

Co-founder and Co-Creative Director Nicholas Cabana reaffirmed the project's commitment to its roots:

“The Genesis collections will always be on Solana. That’s their provenance.”

But going forward, new collections and expanded features will be built on Sui. Think of it like expanding the Claynotopia universe into a new theme park—you’re not tearing the old one down, just building something even more exciting alongside it.

A New Achievements System: Rewarding All Kinds of Engagement

One of the first new features coming to Sui is a blockchain-wide achievements system. This isn’t just about grinding for XP—it’s about recognizing players and collectors for engaging across the entire Claynosaurz ecosystem.

Here’s how it works:

• Achievement badges will be minted on Sui

• Engagement across both Solana and Sui assets will count

• “Soft staking” will let users earn rewards passively

Whether you’re battling in-game, collecting NFTs, or getting creative with fan content, the system ensures your time and passion won’t go unnoticed.

Popkins Are Coming: 25,000 New NFTs, No Traditional Mint

Next up is Popkins, a brand-new NFT collection introducing a fresh species into the Claynosaurz world. But here’s the twist—there won’t be a standard mint.

Instead, Popkins will be released through booster packs, giving collectors a chance to pull rare characters and digital perks like:

• Shop discounts

• In-game cosmetics

• Exclusive collectibles

Every pack gives you a shot at catching a Popkin, but it’s not guaranteed. You might open a pack and find one of nine species cards instead. This approach gamifies the minting process and adds a layer of excitement to every purchase.

The Claynosaurz Mobile Game Arrives in 2025

Perhaps the most exciting development is the upcoming Claynosaurz mobile game, slated for release in 2025. Here’s what we know so far:

• Launches first on iOS and Android

• Later available on SuiPlay0X1, a handheld web3 gaming device

• Features real-time creature battles and deep world-building

• No crypto jargon—just fun, intuitive gameplay

Even though the game will run on blockchain tech, the experience will feel seamless and familiar. The team wants casual players to enjoy the game without needing to understand web3 intricacies. That said, NFT ownership and blockchain-powered progression will still be running under the hood.

What Is Claynosaurz Anyway?

For anyone new to the project, here’s a quick overview:

Claynosaurz is a vibrant NFT collection that first launched on Solana in November 2022. It features 10,222 animated 3D dinosaurs across seven species: Ankylo, Bronto, Raptor, Rex, Stego, Dactyl, and Trice. Each dino comes with its own personality and backstory.

The project was created by animation veterans Danial Cabral and Nicholas Cabana, who previously worked with giants like Disney, Dreamworks, Marvel, and Warner Bros. Their work includes contributions to Avatar, The Dark Knight, Jurassic World, and even Game of Thrones.

Claynosaurz is set in a whimsical world called Claynotopia, born from a child’s imagination while playing with clay and old toys. It’s a nostalgic, heartwarming concept that has resonated with thousands of fans.

Why Claynosaurz Matters for the Future of Blockchain Games

Claynosaurz is more than just eye-catching art—it’s a blueprint for how blockchain games can evolve into truly immersive entertainment experiences. By expanding to Sui, launching a reward system, and going mobile, the project is showing what’s possible when creativity meets cutting-edge tech.

With the expansion in full swing, Claynosaurz is positioning itself not just as a cool NFT brand—but as a pioneer of web3 gaming and storytelling.
