NeoTokyo, with its futuristic and cyberpunk-inspired PFPs, has been the talk of the town since its launch. Initially a cryptic and hyped project due to its founder, Alex Becker and Eliio Trades, the project has taken its community to the moon and back. However, after two years of building, the project has slowly developed into a whole new animal, something its founders thought it to be. Let us take a more in-depth look at the project.
Overview of NeoTokyo
NeoTokyo (NT) is a networking group that aims to attract developers, VCs, founders, investors, and influencers who are interested in the future of crypto gaming and the metaverse. The closest comparison to what they are doing would be PROOF Collective but with a greater emphasis on creating a hub for like-minded individuals to build and innovate.
By combining the value of an extremely refined community with invaluable utility via access, services, and tools, NeoTokyo aims to be perfectly positioned for the massive rise in the crypto gaming sector. Their mission, values, and culture are all focused on connecting with the right people who care about participating in the Web3 gaming industry.

The Vision and Future Outlook
Becker believes that the crypto gaming and metaverse industry will become one of the biggest industries in the crypto world. To prepare for this future, NeoTokyo’s goal is to build a community of builders, investors, and company owners who can network, share ideas, and support each other. And with over 200 projects currently in development within the NeoTokyo community, the tight-knit network of like-minded individuals is undeniably a driving force behind its success.
As 2024 unfolds, NeoTokyo shows no signs of slowing down. The project has kicked off this year with major partnerships like Block Games, Nifty Island, Game Starter, and QOPRO World, and suggests that there are many more collaborations and groundbreaking initiatives on the horizon.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, with markets picking up and Becker and Ellio bootstrapping the project while attracting dozens of leading projects and their founders to join the NT community, it would not be an overstatement to say that the project is creating a class of its own.
