NFT Paris was a mesh pit for Uber-Stylish people of all walks. Merging discussions from several series about the future of fashion, art, games and the Web3 is no easy task. However, this year’s conference was a wonderful exhibit of all the things we have come to know and love about the world of the NFTS. More than ever, the connections between digital and physical brands were on display.
From the recently wrapped McLaren by Prime Skill cars at the entrance to the hot sauce that has been caught in the chains, it appears that the physical connection to the digital economy is in its takeoff position. These physical connections with the digital world make them feel even more concrete.
It was heartwarming to sit with the Decentraland community members I had never met. Each has a Genesis of how it ended in the Metaverse. Each has a reason to spend time in the online space, and each has a unique role to play in the future of growth of this niche sector in our vast online touchpoints.
It is no longer true that traditional business models are being transformed. Today, the NFT community integrates traditional business models and products with the virtual economy.
On the second day there were plenty of panels, events and brands to explore at a fashion show set on centre stage. Again, here is a general thread. The physical world of fashion works in collaboration with the digital economy.
In 2021, it occurred weekly to see patents from major brands examining the possibility of metaverse. Today, the experiment was passed on to existing crypto communities who understand the value captured within their own ecosystem. Certainly, it may not be a well-known name for Web2, but there is no need to harness the power of the digital community.
Early Metaverse and NFT experiments were dominated by games and hype, but we see the beginning of actual usefulness. Our online environment is becoming a space for discovery and updates, allowing users to rethink their identities and interactions in ways that were previously impossible. Platforms like Upland bridge the gap between physical and digital, allowing users to buy and sell virtual real estate that reflects real-world locations. This connection between digital ownership and tangible spaces is increasingly urging us to think about property, commerce and community in a hybrid world.
Another interesting point was that more event managers would discuss future physical gatherings.
