Each beasts work in individual neighborhoods called beasthoods and their purpose is to foster communities of like-minded individuals.

Some of these include names and ips like Bart Simpson, Mickey Mouse, Looney Tunes, KAWS, Virgil Abloh, Tom Ford, Jerry Lorenzo, Demna Gvasalia, and many others. “Our goal is to create unique limited physical pieces that can be adorned in real life or their digital form on their characters. Being able to rock a physical version out while a digital version online is cool but having the digital version not only act as an avatar but also as a proof of authentication, legitimacy, origin, or history of that limited item makes it that much cooler,” Rafsby explained. The brand also hopes to offer other physical goods in the future, including clothing, accessories, and toys that have potential customization aspects unique to collector token traits.
