How fans are changing the game: The Candy 2023 Community Report.

Candy launched in 2021 with a mission to build the future of fandom. Over the past two years, we’ve been developing the platforms and tools that allow communities to shape culture: to claim your place on the field, and to contribute to new storyworlds.

2023 marked a year of transformation. And it revealed a simple truth, too. Fandom isn’t speculative. It’s connective. It’s about building the experiences that bring people together. Above all else, it’s about the power of fans.

Commemorate 2023 with a Free Mint!

This year, we saw:

• Over 689,000 mints, more than 2 million secondary marketplace transactions, and over 100,000 new users join our platform.
• More than 500,000 hours spent on in-world challenges.
• The impact of our communities on culture, as DC Bat Cowl collectors contributed to the creation of an original DC Super-Villain.

Today, communities like ours are inventing new ways to play, participate, and be heard. We’re deeply grateful to each one of you for being part of our journey.

You can explore our annual report here, and collect the free mint here.

Here’s to the year ahead. 🍬
