# Announcement: Plasm's Shiden and RMRK join forces

RMRK is proud to announce a partnership with [Shiden](https://shiden.plasmnet.io/) from [Plasm](https://www.plasmnet.io/) through our Kanaria project and RMRK2.0 standards!

[Kanaria](https://url.rmrk.app/plasm) is a fundraiser for the RMRK Association, which distributes unique NFT eggs that will hatch into unique and rare Kanaria birds (canaries) with special upgradable traits. 

These birds are meant to be limited-edition NFTs (max 9999) that can evolve with the platforms around them, and offer permanent platform benefits to their holders, based on some traits they own. They also entitle their owners to a [fairdrop](https://app.subsocial.network/@rmrkapp/the-rmrk-token-fairdrop-16047) of $RMRK tokens.

Plasm and RMRK have collaborated to combine Shiden and Kanaria's feature set and extend Shiden-bonuses to existing and new Kanaria bird owners. Specifically, anyone participating in Shiden's crowdloan will be able to use the same crypto address to claim a special Kanaria trait - a child NFT that can be equipped onto one's Kanaria bird, and which will give the owner platform bonuses all across Shiden. 

Note that there can only be a **maximum of 9999** of these Shiden traits - matching the maximum number of hatchable birds.

Don't wait! [Get your birds now](https://url.rmrk.app/plasm) and queue up for Shiden's crowdloan!

## About RMRK

[RMRK](https://rmrk.app) an association registered in Zug, Switzerland, spearheading the development of the RMRK protocol for creating highly composeable “art legos” using NFTs on [Kusama](https://kusama.network) natively using the `system.remark` extrinsic.

Among others, RMRK brings the following features to the NFT table:

- emoting to NFTs on chain
- custom burn messages
- NFTs owning NFTs
- NFTs that have conditional rendering (if this, show that)
- NFTs that have slots for upgrades
- NFTs that have multi-resources (i.e. contain both code for a game and high-res cover art)
- NFTs that can be governed as DAOs

It thereby far exceeds what the current ERC721 standard and matching ERC1155 and their derivatives can do. 

For this reason, RMRK launched its own set of standards and is rapidly expanding across the Kusama chain sisterhood into dapps, platforms, and chains launching in this ecosystem.

> Note: for examples of what this composeability makes possible, see our [deck](https://url.rmrk.app/deck) or [paper](https://url.rmrk.app/wp-pub).
