The long anticipated blockchain animated series Cyko Ko, first announced in 2022, finally launched its pilot over the weekend on Rewarded.tv, exclusively for an audience of digital collectible (NFT) holders, according to Deadline. The tech-backed project reunites the iconic Napoleon Dynamite cast, including Jon Heder, who voices Cyko KO, Tina Majorino, Jon Gries, Efren Ramirez, and Haylie Duff.
The animated show was funded through the purchase of NFTs on its web3 streaming platform host, and is a production of Replay, THETA Labs, Verified Labs, Rocketship Entertainment, Earworm Media, and Simpatico Studios. Heder executive produces the pilot through his Verified Labs label.
“With the Replay ecosystem, we’ve been so excited to provide filmmakers with a way not just to fund their movie with their communities, but to actually distribute their productions and continually engage with their fans,” said Krish Arvapally, CEO of Replay. “And we could not pick a better project to debut than Cyko KO, a fun-loving, family-friendly cartoon that’s really been brought to life by its loyal audience.”
Now that the pilot has launched, Replay Digital Collectible holders can access related missions, badges, collectibles, and other available web3 content.
