What is Capsule House?

Capsule House is a collection of 10,000 NFTs of ERC-721 token standard on the Ethereum blockchain. It is a version of the popular Gachapons capsule toys, characters from popular Japanese cartoons, games and manga.

Capsule House serves as a welcoming space for creative people and artists. The exciting stories take community members into another world of digital art that is filled with love and life.

At the same time, the tales of the world of Capsule House, which is a bright part of the project, plunge the user into the world of Gachapons, where pleasant music plays, and all four types of characters interact with each other, captivating fans of Japanese culture with their adventures.

The Japanese project collaborates with such collections as:

• 0N1 Force,
• Tubby Cats,
• Secret Garden,
• Divine Anarchy.

Capsule House received a special boost from its collaboration with 0N1 Force which has more than 62,000 ETH in secondary sales. Besides, the project aims to create a full-scale metaverse with narratives, additional collections and more.
