Let’s create a legend together.

DenDekaDen is a legend in the making, produced by Toei Animation and Strata. The goal: an anime driven by the actions and decisions of fans and players in a mobile game.

Celebrating Anime.

The Keshin No Kaden NFT collection kicks off the next phase of DenDekaDen, where we envision stepping into the DenDenGarden with you and showcasing the world of DenDekaDen to an even larger audience.

Keshin No Kaden Collection

Project DenDenGarden

Project DenDenGarden is a hybrid casual social mobile game* designed to provide a relaxing yet engaging experience, where players complete quests, explore the DenDenGarden, and craft unique items. NFTs add a modern twist, enabling players to mint and trade in-game assets. Players collaborate within their guilds to gain an advantage over rival guilds, with the outcomes of seasonal guild battles permanently affecting the game and shaping DenDekaDen lore.
  • *Project DenDenGarden will enter into production after crossing the minimum NFT sale milestones.
  • *The content of the game is subject to change.

Gathering

Through a series of missions and quests from the seven deities, players explore the digital world of DenDekaDen to gather items and materials, and trade in-game with other players using in-game currencies.

Crafting

Players obtain “recipes” from the shrine (Gacha System) or from the deities upon completing missions. They can use these recipes to craft increasingly complex and rare items. Crafted items have varying stats, and if you’re lucky…

Minting

With the help of a special item, players can turn their prized possessions into NFTs, bridging the item out beyond the world of DenDekaDen. These items can be traded on the open NFT markets.

Guild v. Guild

As players collect stronger and rarer items, their ability to contribute to the victory of their guild’s deity at the DenDekaDuels increases. The stronger their deity becomes, the more power-ups everyone in that guild receives.
