Popeye the Sailor Man is partnering with UNDONE, the world’s leading custom watch brand, and MADworld to release an exclusive NFT collection.In the beginning the Universe was created. Something broke… that’s all we can say and now, there’s thousands of Popeyes stranded in universes they don’t belong to, running amok in shoes that no longer fit them, scratching their noggins, wondering about tattoos they don’t recognize…However, this Popeye seems to know the drill like the back of his hand (or at least where it used to be), as he slips on a peculiar high-tech watch-like device…” Help the Popeyes achieve singularity again and back to their old selves by gathering Popeyes with parts that belong to the same universe!

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*8ZoM_UsJl7kyAvxc2IV8cg.jpeg"></figure>MADworld presents MADwomen, a digital social impact initiative empowering female talent globally through a connected community. MADworld kicks off by inviting global enterprises and aspirational individuals to participate in a long-term journey to inspire, invest, and support the future generation of youth.
With the debut of MADwomen, MADworld suggests new potentials of how blockchain-enabled philanthropy revolutionizes the way we give back and make an impact in the world around us. “Blockchain empowers digital philanthropy, weaving trust and transparency into the fabric of charitable endeavors, and igniting a revolution of compassion in our interconnected world,” says Kelly Leung, Co-founder of MADworld. Blockchain adds transparency and accountability by securely tracking and storing all donations on a public ledger. Direct transfers of funds from donors to recipients mean minimal processing fees resulting in reduced costs associated with donations. This technology-empowered philanthropy will transform the way we contribute to society with increased trust and efficiency in the donation process.
MADwomen joins hands with Lumiere and the Producer of Houria to share Houria-inspired NFTs as the franchise’s debut collection that demonstrates how digital assets can contribute to social enterprises. Houria, officially selected at the Roma International Film Festival, is a film by acclaimed director Mounia Meddour about a young ballet dancer who overcomes a recent trauma through creating a choreography in sign language with fellow women who have also suffered societal violence. Houria’s producer, Gregoire Gensollen, and Patrice Poujol, CEO and Founder of Lumiere, noted 10% of the profits from these assets would be donated to Femmes Sourdes Citoyennes et Solidaires, a Paris-based non-profit supporting deaf women who have suffered violence, a theme reflected in the film.
On May 18th at “MADwomen in Motion”, an event at the Cannes Film Festival, MADworld celebrates the partnership with Houria and echos the film’s message on the significance of diversity and inclusion with the community. This partnership highlights the importance of promoting greater representation and empowering women of all backgrounds. The project embodies a “phygital” approach, blending physical and digital experiences and allowing the MADwomen community to connect directly with the film team and the non-profit organization. This real-life connection reinforces the digital world’s impact and potential to aid charities and NGOs, says Leung. The event will be filled with a live performance of dancers from the film, distinguished guests, and celebrities as well as renowned media outlets such as Screen, Ecran Total, RollingStone Italy, and Variety who will be there to cover the global sensation that goes across web2 and web3. Gensollen views the event as a chance for attendees to see how cinema can effect change and create a dialogue with representatives of the cause it defends.
Poujol and Lumiere envision a future where the power of decision-making and ownership is distributed among all token holders. “We’re not just building a platform, we’re building a community,” says Poujoj. “By integrating web3 solutions with the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs), we are paving the way for a more inclusive, transparent, and engaging entertainment industry.”
MADworld’s MADwomen offers a vision of innovative charitable endeavors and igniting a revolution of compassion in our interconnected world. Together with the like-minded community, MADwomen aims to unlock exciting opportunities for organisations and individuals to participate in projects that foster a spirit of cooperation and mutual support to help drive awareness across social impact initiatives.

The collection takes unique, one of a kind vintage photo slides featuring iconic rock stars such as Queen, The Sex Pistols, and The Rolling Stones and connects them to the blockchain and non-fungible token (NFT) related technologies. This is a must own collection for Music enthusiasts and memorabilia collectors alike. <a href="https://www.globecorp.co/">Globe Entertainment</a> (“Globe”) is partnering with <a href="https://madworld.io/">MADworld</a> to bring LOR campaign to life by building and connecting game play and digital ownership to the world of memorabilia. Last but not least, the NFTs function as a digital Certificate of Authenticity, securely issued on the blockchain, to preserve the memorabilia’s value, both physically and digitally.
Each photo slide collectible is curated from Globe’s vast Legends of Rock archive featuring important moments of rock music history from the 1960s to the early 1980s, showcasing bands like The Beatles, Nirvana, and Led Zeppelin.
In addition to the historic and market value of the physical, each one highlights the story behind each asset, from a photo shoot of David Bowie’s first band, The Konrads, depicting the then-15-year-old Bowie to photos of a young Mick Jagger prior to his legendary career with the Stones.
“We could not have found a better partner than MADworld to introduce these unique, pivotal moments from music history to a new generation of fans,”, said Klaus Moeller, CEO of Globe Entertainment and Media Corp., “Most of these stills have been hidden in old filing cabinets for the better part of half a century, and MADworld is helping us breathe new life to these legends of music’s past by onboarding them onto Web3.”
During this phase of LOR, players must play and win the “Rockbox” game to win and claim the original, 1 of 1 NFT featuring these iconic Rock ‘n Roll legends. To get started, players will first purchase MAD “Game Cards” which are loaded with Game Play credits. Even if players don’t win at first, they are also rewarded with a Community Pass NFT. As the player progresses in the game, their Community Pass will be upgraded, increasing their chances of winning.

<h3>MADworld, an Animoca Brands company, to Launch NFTs and Ukiyo-e Style Art Inspired by the Cyberpunk Classic “Ghost in the Shell”</h3>
The Ghost in the Shell x Ukiyo-e collection will be the first to bring this animated classic to the blockchain through an NFT and physical Ukiyo-e piece of art
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*ocgw9OGJmjPRzaH3"></figure>Los Angeles, November 28, 2022 — Innovative Web3 ecosystem MADworld is breathing new life into the 1995 classic animated cyberpunk thriller “Ghost in the Shell” with its new Ghost in the Shell x Ukiyo-e NFT collection. The set will include 500 digital drops that reflect iconic motifs from the film and also includes a limited-edition Ukiyo-e print.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/782/1*f90X7Frd1OssQj6Fwvn-1A.png"><figcaption>©Shirow Masamune・Production I.G/KODANSHA All Rights Reserved.</figcaption></figure>Made in the traditional Japanese woodblock style spanning back to the Edo period of the 1600s, each print is a unique, one-of-a-kind art piece made beloved due to the imperfections, different textures, shadings and depths that result from the manual printing process. With the help of talented artisans, a woodblock will be hand-carved with imagery based on graphics from “Ghost in the Shell.”
“Reimagining ‘Ghost in the Shell’ with a Web3 twist is what MADworld is all about — evolving the way fans engage and connect with their favorite properties,” said Robert Tran, CEO of MADworld. “‘Ghost in the Shell’ is a classic manga and anime with a global fanbase, and being able to bring it to the blockchain for a new generation of fans to enjoy as both a digital collectible and museum-worthy work of art makes this collection exceptionally special.”
“Ghost in the Shell” is an animated film adaptation of the cyberpunk manga by Shirow Masamune. The film depicts the activities of the Public Security Section 9 and its cyborg task force members who combat computer crimes and cyber-terrorism in the highly developed network society of a futuristic 2029 AD. Collectors will have a chance to join the task force, with the iconic emblem now gracing the digitized space.
MADworld’s Ghost in the Shell x Ukiyo-e Collection is sold as a set for $1149 USD. Customers will first receive an NFT upon purchase and the Ukiyo-e prints will be delivered to buyers afterwards. In addition to claiming their unique Ukiyo-e prints, customers can use their NFT to receive priority access to the upcoming “Ghost in the Shell” game and metaverse.
“MADworld is excited to bring together three generations of Japanese culture through this groundbreaking NFT project,” said Phillip Tran, CMO of MADworld. “By combining traditional Ukiyo-e art, classic anime from the 90s, and 21st century digital collectables and metaverse integrations, we are entering a new era of fan engagement and community.”
