8SIAN was founded by Nicole Yap who had the vision to represent women and Asia in the NFT space. Its core vision is to create something authentic about the combined cultures in Asia. Today, 8SIAN is one of the most-hyped communities among Asian NFTs and recently had an event at the Metaverse Fashion Week. 8SIAN has fostered a strong community of Asian women in NFT and has great plans for the future.

Based on 8SIAN’s vision, it’s clear that they have placed its community front and centre of the project. Transparency is the core tenet of the project. 8SIAN has also decided to give its owners influence over substantial decisions. In the future, 8SIAN plans to give back to the community via blockchain scholarship programs and it plans to build a space in the Metaverse for its owners soon. We’re excited to see where this project goes! Some notable collectors of 8SIAN NFTs include DJ Steve Aoki and Matt Higgins from Shark Tank.
