NFT BZL 2021 AT THE FTX ARENA IN MIAMI, FLORIDA
NFT BZL in Miami, Florida for Art Basel 2021 was a success for its inaugural year. The Gift Shop Gallery was fortunate enough to be given VIP access backstage to this groundbreaking event.
We were introduced to Nansen and their incredible technology for sorting, aggregating, and analyzing NFTs from across the blockchain. Nansen can show you specific wallets and how to judge when to get in, and when to get out, on the next Bored Ape Yacht Club or CryptoPunks assets. It is an amazing NFT market intelligence product.
There was also an interesting panel discussion with Cathy Hackl, widely regarded as the “Godmother of the Metaverse”. This panel talked about brands like Adidas buying property in the Metaverse, the benefits of royalties for charity through NFT sales, ex. Some $41 million was donated to charity through one of the panelists' companies.
Polygon was also on stage talking about lowering gas fees for NFT transactions and how their blockchain solution helps solve the current traffic optimization issues with many of the major cryptocurrency networks. It was an in-depth discussion on building the Metaverse, creating gamified economies, followings on Discord, and Web 3.0.
