■About COT Project

Cosplay, a culture originating from Japan, has created communities globally through online and offline real events. Its energy scale in the realm of subculture encompassing anime, animation songs, figures and more, continues to expand in the real world as a tangible genre.
Moreover, as technology like AI advances, the era in which everyone can enjoy “transformation” has arrived, and this is where tremendous market potential hides.
Amid an era in which communication between people with shared hobbies and interests is emphasised, cryptocurrency Cosplay Token utilises technologies like AI to create a communication token connecting people from all over the world with one common keyword – “transformation”.
Cosplay Token Project collaborates with project-participating companies and token holders worldwide to build and promote the ecosystem of COT, while conducting educational activities to boost awareness.
