Claynosaurz

Claynosaurz is a Solana NFT collection that has grown into an animation brand. It began in November 2022 as 10,222 clay-style 3D dinosaurs, made by a team of film animators. The characters now star in short episodes on Amazon Prime Video. A longer TV series is being made with Mediawan Kids & Family. Holders can stake their NFTs to earn points. In 2026 the team added two things most NFT projects never offer. One is stock options for long-term holders. The other is HEEBOO, a linked token and fan platform. Claynosaurz has no token of its own.

How Claynosaurz works: NFTs, animation and the HEEBOO platform

Claynosaurz works by winning fans for its characters first, then turning those fans into shows, games and toys. The NFTs are the collector's club. The cartoons are the main product. HEEBOO, launched in August 2026, is the team's bid to repeat the model for other creators.

The team posts short clay-style clips on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and X. It uses the response to decide which characters and stories to build on. Co-founder Nicholas Cabana calls this building "the food truck before the restaurant".

If you hold a Claynosaurz NFT, you own a character from that world in your own Solana wallet. Holding it lets you stake, earn badges and claim holder perks. It does not give you a share of what the show earns. The one link between holders and the company's finances is the stock option grant, and that was fixed by a past snapshot.

Claynosaurz NFT collections: Genesis, Call of Saga and Popkins

There are three Claynosaurz NFT collections, listed on the official collectibles page. The Genesis collection has 10,222 dinosaurs on Solana. Call of Saga adds 2,000 more on Solana. Popkins is a 25,000-piece collection that was minted on the Sui blockchain.

The Genesis collection has six species: Rex, Trice, Stego, Ankylo, Bronto and Raptor. Call of Saga was a partnership with Solana Mobile, which let Saga phone buyers claim an NFT. It added two species, Para and Spino.

Popkins are small critters from the same world. Claynosaurz described the Sui launch as an expansion, and the Genesis and Call of Saga collections stayed on Solana. If you want Popkins, you need a Sui wallet and a Sui marketplace. A Solana wallet will not hold them.

Claynosaurz staking, Claymaker and classes

Claynosaurz staking lets holders of Genesis and Call of Saga NFTs stake their dinosaurs to earn points, known as XP. The team says staking also earns "ecosystem-wide and surprise rewards". It does not pay a fixed token yield. You can stake freely, or lock for a set time to earn points faster.

Staking went live on 9 September 2025. It followed the Achievement System, launched on 24 April 2025, which gives holders badges for collecting and taking part. Badges switch off when you move the NFT that earned them, and the gems tied to them are lost.

Staking mattered more once HEEBOO arrived. Genfinity reported in July 2026 that Claynosaurz holders receive HEEBOO tokens based on what they hold and how they stake. So if you lock a dinosaur, you give up the freedom to sell it in return for a larger share of future rewards. The size of those rewards is not known in advance.

Clay and Claymaker are separate NFT items in the Claynosaurz world. Holders use them on the project's class selection site to give a dinosaur a class.

Claynosaurz show: Amazon Prime Video micro episodes and the Mediawan series

The Claynosaurz show exists in two forms. Short "micro episodes" have been on Amazon Prime Video since July 2026. A full series of 39 seven-minute episodes is in production with Mediawan Kids & Family and has no public release date.

The Prime Video listing calls Season 1 a set of micro episodes that "offer a look at moments from the full animated series". They follow four dinosaur friends named Flea, Bex, Trix and Milo. Co-founder Daniel Jervis is credited as director. We covered the launch when Claynosaurz arrived on Amazon Prime Video.

The full series was announced on 3 June 2025. Mediawan Kids & Family and Claynosaurz Inc. are making it together. It is a comedy for children aged 6 to 12. On 11 September 2026, Claynosaurz named James Hamilton as head writer. Hamilton is an Emmy-nominated writer with more than 50 episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball to his name. The team said 15 scripts were complete.

The team is also testing a format it calls Watch & Collect. Viewers collect digital cards tied to characters and scenes from the episodes. A first "Pioneer Edition" sale of card packs has ended, and the packs included HEEBOO token allocations.

HEEBOO token and Claynosaurz equity: what holders get

Claynosaurz has no coin of its own. The linked token is HEEBOO, which started trading on Solana on 27 August 2026. HEEBOO belongs to a separate fan platform built by the Claynosaurz team. Separately, the company set aside stock options for long-term NFT holders in July 2026.

HEEBOO is the team's platform for launching new entertainment brands with fan backing. Its official site says fans discover creators, take part in challenges and earn rewards. HEEBOO calls Claynosaurz its "flagship brand". The platform itself was still at prototype stage in September 2026, according to the team's public dev journal posts.

The token was sold through a 48-hour launch pool on Metaplex MPLX$0.053-7.7% from 25 to 27 August 2026. HEEBOO then announced that trading was live with a locked liquidity pool on Raydium RAY$1.78-4.4%. The Metaplex launch page gives a total supply of 1 billion tokens, split as follows.

HEEBOO chief executive Andrew Pelekis set out how the platform plans to earn money on 30 August 2026. He said 10% of crowdfunding on the platform would go toward buying HEEBOO tokens, and that access to audience data would require the token. Both are plans for a platform that had not launched at the time.

The equity is a different thing. On 2 July 2026 Claynosaurz said it had reserved 15% of company equity as stock options for eligible holders. Crypto Briefing reported that these are options in a Delaware corporation, with eligibility set by a snapshot taken during a quiet period. Holders of Genesis, Call of Saga and Popkins NFTs were in scope, per Genfinity. Because the snapshot has passed, buying a Claynosaurz NFT now should not be assumed to carry options.

Claynosaurz game: Gameloft and Claynosaurz Champions

No Claynosaurz game has been released. Gameloft announced a Claynosaurz mobile game in September 2024, and the official site lists a title called Claynosaurz Champions as "coming soon". Neither has a public release date as of October 2026.

Gameloft says its project is a mobile game set in the world of Claynotopia. Players go on quests, hunt treasure and battle creatures. The official play page calls Claynosaurz Champions an action RPG battle game. You collect dinosaurs, craft armor, level up a squad and fight other players in arenas.

If a game is your reason to buy a Claynosaurz NFT, treat it as a plan. The Gameloft deal is more than two years old with no launch.

Where to buy Claynosaurz NFTs, plush and merch

You can buy Solana-based Claynosaurz NFTs on Magic Eden ME$0.064+4.8%, Tensor TNSR$0.027-13.4%, Rarible and OpenSea. Plush toys, pins, totes and hoodies are sold through the official Clayno Eshop, which opened on 9 September 2026.

Two big NFT sites added the dinosaurs in 2026. Rarible opened on Solana on 6 August 2026 with Claynosaurz as its first featured collection. OpenSea brought back Solana NFT trading on 31 August 2026 and named Claynosaurz in its launch list. Our report on OpenSea's return to Solana has more.

Holders also get perks outside the collection. On 28 September 2026, Jupiter JUP$0.291-5.6% launched a limited-edition Claynosaurz Visa card in its mobile app. Jupiter listed 2% flat cashback, no foreign exchange fees until the end of 2026, and extra rewards for Claynosaurz holders. Jupiter said Claynosaurz was the first community it had made a card with.

Who Claynosaurz is for

Claynosaurz suits collectors who want a Solana NFT backed by a working animation studio, and who are happy to hold an illiquid asset priced in SOL. It is a poor fit if you want regular income. Staking pays XP and occasional rewards, with no published rate.

Three kinds of reader tend to land here, and each has a different answer.

• If you want to watch the show, you need nothing from crypto. The micro episodes are on Prime Video and the shorts are free on social media.
• If you want to collect, the Genesis and Call of Saga NFTs are the core of the brand and the ones that can be staked on Solana. Popkins are a cheaper way in but live on Sui.
• If you are looking at the HEEBOO token, you are backing a creator platform that has not fully launched. It is a separate bet from the dinosaurs.

Claynosaurz risks: equity terms, token unlocks and no public audit

The main risks with Claynosaurz are that the rewards for holders are hard to value, and that much of the roadmap has not shipped. We found no public smart contract audit for its staking system. The stock options cannot be sold today. The full TV series and the game have no release dates.

Is Claynosaurz staking audited?

We could not find an audit or technical documentation for the Claynosaurz staking program. We also could not confirm from a public source whether a staked NFT stays in your wallet. Check this in the staking app before you lock anything, because a locked NFT cannot be sold quickly.

Can you sell the Claynosaurz stock options?

Not today. Crypto Briefing noted that the options have only theoretical value until an event such as a sale or listing of the company. We have not seen the option terms published.

HEEBOO token unlocks and lookalike tokens

HEEBOO has a small float and a long unlock schedule. Pelekis said the public float at launch was 7.5% of supply. Seventy percent of supply unlocks over 12 to 36 months, per the Metaplex launch page.

A lookalike token also exists. Solana Compass token data shows a second Solana token using the HEEBOO name and symbol, created on 8 September 2026 at a different address. The address the HEEBOO account published is HeeBovJNKd27tQ6xkeP1dfSyTr8LyLwhJz9wfFTbPLEX.

Fake Claynosaurz sites and the two-chain split

On 9 October 2026 a page on a free site builder, titled as an official Claynosaurz NFT login, appeared on the first page of Google results for the brand. It is not on the project's domain. The official site is claynosaurz.com.

The collections are also split across two chains. Popkins on Sui need a different wallet and different marketplaces from the Solana collections.

Claynosaurz team and history

Claynosaurz was created in late 2021 by animators Nicholas Cabana, Dan Cabral and Daniel Jervis. Andrew Pelekis is chief executive. The founders came from film effects studios. Mediawan's 2025 press release names all three as creators of the brand.

Cabana and Cabral came up with the idea while working as animators. Cabana's brother Phil suggested launching it as an NFT project. Cabral's brother Alexandre, a technical director, helped with rendering. The team first teased the project in March 2022 and minted the Genesis collection that November.

Later hires show where the company is heading. In July 2025, UglyDoll co-founder David Horvath joined to lead the brand and its toy lines in Asia. James Hamilton joined as head writer in September 2026.

Claynosaurz won 31 Collision Awards in 2025, including 13 Gold, and a Webby People's Voice Award for best trailer the same year. HEEBOO's site puts the brand's audience at more than 1 million followers and more than 1 billion video views.
