What experience do we bring into the world of NFTs?
Real tools, real pipelines, and years of creative production
Over the years, we’ve built complete products — from 2D/3D assets and motion graphics toolkits to full production systems and licensing platforms. All in-house, from scratch.
Here’s what we bring into the NFT space:
🎨 Digital asset creation
We’ve designed thousands of visual elements: characters, animations, FX, and scene components. Our work is production-ready — made for real use, not just display.
🧩 Technical infrastructure
From product sites to licensing APIs, we’ve built the systems behind our tools ourselves. We understand what it takes to not only launch content — but make it functional, scalable, and maintainable.
🧠 Creative & design logic
Our visual thinking is grounded in system design. We focus on how elements combine, how users interact, and how style supports structure. That’s exactly what NFT collections need.
This isn’t a new direction for us — it’s the next step in what we’ve always done: creating complete digital products with care, clarity, and intent.
Launched in 2017 with 3,500+ elements — over 3X more than any competing toolkit — AinTrailers later expanded to 5,000+ elements and added a custom extension for character animation, emotion presets, and character design presets.
Generate countless unique characters — directly in After Effects
While we weren’t the first to explore character builders in After Effects, we were among the first to introduce a fully-featured extension that allowed users to generate an unlimited number of unique characters, each ready for animation with just a few clicks.
Our extension came with a rich set of pre-made emotions, and also gave users the flexibility to build their own by combining presets or designing new ones.
The result: fast, expressive, and highly customizable character animation — all inside one toolkit.
Even today, in 2025, AinTrailers remains unmatched in its combination of character variety, emotional control, and animation-ready components.
Drawing from years of experience in modular character systems, we’re now taking the next step — scaling this approach into a larger framework.
This evolution is embodied in AinCharacters — an upcoming tool within our NFT ecosystem, designed to bring the same depth and flexibility to a new creative space.

How does this relate to the NFT space?
We were building avatars long before they became a trend
When CryptoPunks launched in June 2017, our team was fully focused on developing AinTrailers — a toolkit built around character creation and animation.
At the time, we weren’t involved in NFTs or crypto — but we were already designing a system capable of generating thousands of unique characters using layered traits and visual logic.
We weren’t part of the NFT wave then — but we were working on exactly the kind of modular digital identity system that would later define it.
Update — June 2025
After years of development and experimentation, we’ve reached a milestone that once felt out of reach. Our collection now stands on a unique foundation: a massive trait library, a cohesive concept, and a system designed with precision and intent.
We believe this project has the potential to become a true digital collectible — something that, over time, could stand alongside the greats like CryptoPunks.
But for us, it’s never just about comparisons. It’s about building something that matters — something crafted with care, designed to last, and made to inspire the next era of digital creativity and ownership.
