Azuki is embarking on an exciting journey to connect with its community across the Asia-Pacific region. The Azuki Garden Tour will feature five events, each hosted in a different city, starting with Hong Kong on November 2.

These events are bolstered by the Azuki Collector's Profile. Attendees at each event will receive a collectible stamp in their Garden Tour passport book, a digital memento of their participation in this unique tour. To ensure eligibility, participants must register their wallets through tokenproof, linked to their Collector Profile.

For those unable to physically attend, Azuki has a thoughtful solution. Purchasing an event NFT from the respective event organizer not only adds to your Collector's Profile but also contributes directly to the local community organizations responsible for these remarkable events.

Azuki is helping its community organizers, providing resources for event planning and logistics to ensure that each tour stop is a resounding success. The Azuki Garden Tour promises to be a fantastic opportunity to connect, engage, and explore the vibrant crypto community in Hong Kong, Taipei, Melbourne, Shanghai, and Tokyo.

Azuki co-founder, locationtba, acknowledged and took responsibility for the mishandling of the recent Azuki Elementals mint, citing issues with presale timing and website hosting capacity.

The Deets

• Azuki admitted to underestimating the time needed for the presale phases.
• Technical issues arose due to an unexpectedly high load on the hosting platform, Vercel.
• Approximately 7,600 Elementals were minted by Azukis, with the rest minted during the BEANZ presale.
• Azuki's management assures that they are learning from the experience and promises an improved reveal experience.

The Bulk

In a candid admission, locationtba acknowledged significant shortcomings in the Azuki Elementals mint, expressing regret for underestimating the time required for the presale phases, a decision that ultimately led to a chaotic and unsatisfactory user experience.

This issue was further complicated by the capacity limits of the website's hosting platform, Vercel. Despite coordinating with Vercel prior to the mint to ensure they could handle the expected load, the actual demand significantly exceeded their estimates, leading to the website being rate-limited.

❗️Why It Matters

In the most anticipated event of the year, one that pulled nearly $40 million in liqudity from the NFT ecosystem, it's a tough pill to swallow for users to have run into "predictable" issues.
