As the year ends, Kusho World released its 2024 overview and 2025 roadmap, emphasizing its transition to a āCommunity Protocolā that encourages creativity, collaboration and sustainability within its ecosystem.
What is the meaning: Kusho World’s āCommunity Protocolā focuses on a decentralized model where creators and contributors share in success, driving long-term community growth.
- Its decentralized model is also expected to allow community members to use Kusho IP for projects, share success, and contribute to a growing ecosystem.
Between the lines: The Evolution of Kusho World highlights how web3 enables communities to co-create and co-own intellectual property, driving decentralized innovation and showing how web3 projects can succeed in difficult market conditions.
Key details: In a recent x publicationThe popular NFT collections founded by Filipinos shared a summary of their 2024 achievements and outlined plans for the coming year, recognizing the key role of community contributions.

2024 Summary:
