Chiru Labs, the digital asset incubation studio and team behind the globally recognized non-fungible token collection, Azuki, has released its 2026 plans. Azuki has entered the year with significant activity, with an emphasis on rapid, concrete product releases rather than just conceptual hype. Following the unveiling of the roadmap, the Azuki NFT floor price has risen 4.8% in the past 24 hours.
Blue-chip Azuki 2026 roadmap revealed
In a January 21 blog post, Zagabond, the founder of non-fungible token company Azuki, revealed some of the things his company expects to do before the end of the year to maintain relevance in the NFT market. Founded in 2021, Zagabond’s Chiru Labs is a Los Angeles-based Web3 technology and art studio focused on building the future of decentralized IP through digital art, community-driven content and innovative technology, including a physically backed token.
Azuki is an IP company, where TCG is one of the core products. An IP needs a story at its core, which is why we have the official Azuki manga in the works

Chiru Labs is home to the Azuki, a globally recognized non-fungible token series with a limited supply of 10,000 anime-themed NFTs hosted on the Ethereum blockchain network and Beaz Official, a non-fungible token collection with a limited supply of 19,950 NFTs hosted on the Ethereum blockchain network. Chiru Labs is also the team behind the Azuki Elemental NFT collection.
In its recent blog, Zagabond insisted that its company is an intellectual property (IP) company, with trading card games as its core products. In 2026, the Azuki NFT company expects to continue producing more and more NFTs for trading cards. A Trading Card Game (TCG) is a strategy game played with specially designed card decks that combine competitive, turn-based gameplay with the thrill of collecting and trading.
Azuki wants to launch a manga in 2026
Before we recap, Zagabond has revealed plans to launch a manga before the end of this year. Manga, according to the description, is a Japanese comic book and graphic novel published in black and white and read from right to left. It covers a wide variety of stories in many genres and is popular with a worldwide audience. The Azuki team plans to launch the highly anticipated manga in the summer of 2026.
