The future of creativity is more uncertain than it has ever been. We stand here today facing an existential threat to craft, authorship, intellectual property and culture. We propose a solution: - More informed use of AI for creative amplification and fan engagement - Empower artists to become a part of the conversation - Less one-size fits all AI applications Artificial Narrow Intelligence removes the need for giant models that scrape IP and steal from creators. It's an approach that allows artists to amplify their craft using small datasets like their own work; remaining in control, refined and unique. This process honours IP, gives value to fans, and protects the most important thing of all: human creativity. Join Taste in shaping the future for artists. Reach out and tell us what you are building and how AI impacts your craft!

Taste attended @Screen_QLD's In the Frame to discuss creativity in the age of AI. We highlighted the importance of protecting IP before amplifying it with AI. We have and always will have an artist first approach when it comes to using this technology. Let's walk into this future side by side with the best interest of both the creator and the fan.

The new era of fandom is here and we know how to unlock it. Modern fans want entertainment that knows them, adapts to them and allows them to step into their favourite worlds. There is only so many times a film franchise can regurgitate the same storylines. Fans are fatigued, and they deserve better. In the age of AI- the capability to solve this is right in front of us. Yet the world’s most powerful stories are sidelined from accessing AI tools that can revolutionise the interactions they have with their fanbase. Enter Taste. The infrastructure that allows IPs to access AI tools without sacrificing their data. Opening the door to dynamic experiences where fans go deeper into the worlds they love and co-create with their favourite IP. This critical piece of infrastructure opens the door for the next generation of fandom. Built with Taste.

Taste was proudly represented at @token2049 in Singapore. Here are 3 things we learnt: 1. AI IP is heating up. With the rapid adoption of AI tools, especially in crypto, there is a general understanding of just how important the future of IP is. No creator, builder, or founder wants to have their IP stolen and senselessly replicated. The awareness and interest in what Taste is building was clear. 2. Grifters gonna grift. Regardless of the industry, there are always bad actors. Crypto just happens to attract the highest volume of them. Jokes aside, there are scams everywhere; hidden in plain sight, in Telegram and at the events. Tread warily and try to associate with real people building real products and solving real problems. 3. Connecting with people matters. We spend so much time with our heads in our laptops and often forget the power of connecting person to person. There is only so much you can convey in a conference call. The power of communication goes far beyond the spoken word. It is body language; visible passion for your craft and your project. Especially when conveying difficult concepts, it is invaluable to be in person and connect face to face. See you all in Dubai!

Taste at In the Frame: Creativity First in the Age of AI This week, Taste was invited to participate in In the Frame, Screen Queensland’s annual forum bringing together Australia’s creative leaders, major IP stakeholders, film distributors, and storytellers. The event is designed to equip filmmakers and industry professionals with the latest tools, insights, and opportunities shaping the future of screen content. Among the most anticipated discussions was one on the role of AI in creativity. Here, Taste made its position clear: AI must be led with creativity first, designed to protect and amplify IP, and always built with the best interests of fans at heart. While much of the industry is still grappling with the realities of generative AI; its risks, its misuses, and its potential. Taste is already building the solutions. Our approach ensures that intellectual property is not compromised, yet elevated into new formats of fan engagement. Taste’s role at In the Frame was not simply to contribute to the conversation, but to lead it. We are pioneering a future where AI is not the enemy of creativity, but its most powerful ally. One that extends the worlds we love, deepens fandom, and gives more meaning to creating and consuming content than ever before.

Fandom has always given us identity. From roaring crowds in Roman arenas to online forums and Fortnite skins. The way that we interact with IP has always shaped culture. What has changed is the function of fandom and how stories are communicated. In the past, it was orators and performers in auditoriums. With print, it scaled. Dickens toured cities like a rock star, and sports leagues forged lifelong loyalties. Mass media made fandom global, but it remained one dimensional- the fans consumed, the brands broadcast. Then the internet blew it wide open: forums, blogs, memes, and social platforms. Fans didn’t just listen. They talked back, created content, and interacted. Now we’re here. Fandom is everywhere, yet still one-dimensional, shallow, fragmented, and owned by platforms instead of communities. With Taste, the future of fandom looks different. We make it ‱ Dynamic: building living ecosystems that evolve with fans. ‱ Personalized: every journey is unique. ‱ Shareable: built to communicate at the speed of culture. ‱ Verifiable: proof that it comes from the source. Fandom should feel less like watching from the sidelines and more like co-creating the story. The next evolution of fandom is here.

Your dormant IP is silent... here's how to wake it up Across the entertainment and media landscape, there’s a goldmine hiding in plain sight: dormant IP. Decades of creative work. Beloved worlds. Forgotten characters. Archival footage. Iconic soundtracks. Idle in hard drives, vaults, and legal portfolios. Not because they lack value, but because the tools to unlock that value have, until now, been missing. At Taste, we wake sleeping giants. Our technology turns static IP into immersive, AI-driven experiences that speak to modern audiences. We don’t rewrite history, we amplify it. Whether it’s an unreleased project, a cult classic, or an entire universe that never got its sequel, we help brands activate what they already own. Creating an entirely new revenue stream and finding a product market fit with digital fans who crave deeper, more interactive storytelling. For IP holders, this means more than just a new revenue stream. It’s a chance to reposition your brand as forward-thinking and fan-first. Through highly curated AI experiences, we ensure the integrity of your original content- while layering in engagement mechanics that build loyalty, drive traffic, and provide consistent revenue. For end users, it’s a way to experience the worlds they love more intimately than ever. They’re not just watching, but participating. The value is already there. The audience is waiting. All that’s needed is the right partner to bring it back to life, and that’s where Taste comes in. Your IP isn’t outdated. It’s just sleeping. Let’s wake it up.

You will never look at trading cards the same after you see what we did with @abysscards... TCGs are more than collectibles. They’re cultural markers that resemble some of the greatest moments from our childhood and beyond. They started with paper cuts, binders, and bold imagination. Then came the milestones: ‱ Magic: The Gathering made it real (1993) ‱ PokĂ©mon made it global (1996) ‱ Yu-Gi-Oh! made it a battle (2002) ‱ Web3 makes it yours — true ownership, on-chain, unbound by shelves. Now, in 2025, Abyss is taking the next step. Powered by the technology of Taste, Abyss sets out to distrupt TCGs with innovation. It’s the first of its kind: a fully immersive, AI-powered TCG where every card is 1-of-1 and every one of them is born from your personal journey through a dynamic narrative world. Players are no longer simply deck building, but writing their journey into lore. Your decisions shape the path. Your path creates each card. And your card becomes a permanent, on-chain artifact of your in game story. Abyss transforms the way fans interact with fantasy, strategy, and story. It's not just that every player gets a different card. It's that every player builds a different legend — and it’s encoded into the experience itself for every other player to see. The future of TCGs is bright and powered by Taste.

Your IP Is Being Stolen, But We Know How You Can Fight Back AI has supercharged creativity, but it’s also unleashed a crisis. Around the world, original IP is being scraped, cloned, and repurposed without permission. Beloved artistic legacies are being diluted by models trained on them without consent. For rights holders, the result is not just ethical erosion, it’s economic loss. Just ask Studio Ghibli. The legendary Japanese animation house recently discovered that its iconic art style had been mimicked by AI tools trained on decades of work. No license. No accreditation. No control. No compensation. This isn’t an isolated incident. From comic book illustrators to music legends, creators are watching their IP become fuel for someone else’s content, and someone else’s profit. The answer isn’t retreat. It’s reinvention. Taste Foundation has found the most powerful way to fight back. We give creators the controls, and allow them to retain 100% of their IP in the process. Through AI-powered activations and blockchain verification, our clients transform their existing IP into new, interactive formats that deepen fan engagement and drive new revenue streams. This is far more than protection. It’s reclamation. By bringing legacy IP into the AI era, we are bringing personalized fan experiences and dynamic content fit for the audiences of the future. The fight for IP isn’t just legal, it’s creative. With Taste, the future of ownership is not only secure, it’s done with integrity.

Amazing stats. Sonic is built for games. Low confirmation times (no matter the traffic). Low fees. And 90% of every transaction fee is earned by the developer 24/7.

We are thrilled to release the Whitepaper and Roadmap for Abyss. The journey so far has paved the way for the exciting times ahead. Here’s what you can expect: Q2 2025 — Alchemy / Armory Card Roll-out:Fuse your Genesis cards to receive an Armory card. Alternatively, mint Armory cards (capped supply). These cards will enhance your deck, which is to be used in battle. Q3 2025 — Raiding Continued Game Development. Go to battle with your Abyss cards to collect more Aura and P2E rewards. The Battle Phase introduces Raiding, as the evil Mythrel unleashes a series of fearsome enemies upon the Abyss. Travellers must band together and fight alongside their clan to defeat bosses and earn rewards for themselves and their clan. Q3/Q4 2025 — Final Aura Snapshot for Airdrop. As we move into the latter half of the year, we will take the final snapshot of all Aura earned by users. Following this, development of the Abyss game will continue alongside the preparation of the Taste Token Generation Event. 2026 and Beyond — Our goal is to make Abyss one of the most recognisable digital Trading Card Games — not just in Web3, but across Web2 gaming and entertainment markets. Blockchain abstraction will be implemented to drive mass adoption as we expand and franchise the captivating world of Abyss. For more information, read the Whitepaper here: abyss.cards/whitepaper.pdf
