# Welcome to Danketsu

## What is Danketsu?

Danketsu (formerly known as ADA Ninjaz) is a community-driven and gamified multimedia experience.

Previously, Danketsu delivered various products ranging from music and comics, to gaming and NFTs. With its rebrand, Danketsu is ready to take 2023 and the #DankFam by storm.

With the upcoming release of the $NINJAZ token, Danketsu will integrate its wealth of story, lore, NFTs, and music to build its pick-your-own-adventure gamification experience called "**Danketsu Missions**". 

This gamified platform will be available on the Cardano blockchain and will evolve into a larger web-based RPG game over time.
