It’s official: Instagram (IG) is diving head-first into the NFT ecosystem. With the recent launch of new in-app NFT features, a select number of influential creators were greenlighted to start interacting with blockchain tech on the larger-than-life social media platform. Although Meta originally announced plans to create an Instagram NFT marketplace back in March, these latest features lean more towards content sharing rather than commerce. And why shouldn’t they? Considering that Twitter and Discord have proven to be the stomping grounds of the NFT community, some would say that IG taking the plunge into the NFT space is overdue. Additionally, […]

The top-tier brand of Scotch spirits, Johnnie Walker, drives into the web3 space at the wheel of a “red Lambo of the NFT realm,” namely, in partnership with Gary Vaynerchuk’s VeeFriends. This jaw-dropping collaboration is a boon for both, as Gary is far from being a newcomer to the world of elite alcohol beverages, having grown in the liquor industry. “…if somebody told 22-year-old Gary that his NFT project would be collaborating with the iconic Johnnie Walker Blue Bottle, he would’ve fallen off his chair,” commented VeeFriends’ founder on the collaboration.

Of course, this is almost surely due to the fact that during a global pandemic, digestible content became king. So much so that ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company reported a 45 percent increase in growth only about a year after COVID-19 forced the world indoors. Now it seems user-generated content (UGC) is on […]

Metal music is finally rushing into the web3, following electronics, pop, rap, and hip-hop. Thus, Corey and the band of masked nu-metal gods are building a never-before-seen VR space where all the huge Slipknot fandom, as well members of the already existing, self-driven project Knotfest, gather for meetups.
