🎨 Creatorverse Buildathon
We're nearing four weeks into the Creatorverse Buildathon — let's take a look at where we are now:
Halfway Checkpoint + DCL Builder Twitter Space
Yesterday, we hosted a Twitter Space featuring a few of the industry's most talented builders — including Shibu, Decentraland's Art Director — who dropped some knowledge for the creator community.
A summary of topics covered:
Quirks of building in DCL
Best practices for group projects
UX in the metaverse
The prospect of the interoperability of SDK assets
Listen back to the full conversation here.

📰 What's News?
Read on for developments in virtual worlds, AR/VR, and other industry-breaking announcements.
Brands
👠 Farfetch x Outlier Ventures (Web3 accelerator) makes the Web3 dream for brands not so far-fetched after all. Dream Assembly Base Camp is a 12-week program that provides mentorship, networking, and support to luxury fashion and lifestyle startups eager to develop the future of Web3 luxury commerce.
⚒️ The Lowe Down: At first we were like 🤨...but then quickly changed to 😏. Lowe's has humble beginnings as a small-town hardware store. Given their mission to enhance home improvement for all, its foray into the metaverse makes perfect sense. Their Open Builder is a free library of 500+ 3D digital assets for AR and VR developers.
VR/AR
🥽 The VR/AR flippening? Now that the fud from covid is somewhat under control, human beings are free to roam. VR headsets had their moment in helping people escape their homes; now it's AR's time to shine. Explore these free AR experiences and discover corners of the world that were previously out of reach.
👧 Hologram, who is upping the game on self-expression via virtual avatars, raised $6.5M in their seed round.
Worlds
🛹 He was a sk8er boi. Tony Hawk is creating a skatepark and 3D avatar collection in The Sandbox. The build will cover 36 parcels and includes the largest skatepark ever made.
🗻 Ain't no Mountain Dew digital enough...join the Esports Watch tournament in Decentraland.
🇪🇸 Olé! Promising news in the EU. Spain has announced it will allocate over $4M in grants for metaverse-related projects.
⬛ MeetKai really made an entrance. Their mission is to create a parallel world in which we can experiment. We're keeping our eyes on this one.
🎨 Artist Spotlight
Even though our 'Creator of the Week' series is taking a temporary breather, that doesn't mean we can't recognize creators who are excelling at what they do!
Vinashe Bhagelu is a South Africa-based architecture design student who was recently featured in his local newspaper. We are stoked to have pioneers like Vinashe participating in the Creatorverse Buildathon.
Have a question for Vinashe? Drop into our Discord, say "hi," and connect with other members of our growing community!
