🛂 Your metaverse passport. Metropolis World is a "360° curated universe that blends unique properties, e-commerce, gaming, art, and experiences that span both the digital and real world."

▪️Ethereum-based, with interoperability of assets enabled via Flare's bridging mechanism.

▪️All artwork is hand-drawn and able to be minted on-chain.

▪️The virtual experiences within Metropolis World will extend physical experiences.

▪️40 founding citizens so far, including Deadfellaz, BossBeauties, and The Lobstars.

📦 To date, Decentraland has been the leader of in-world events, but Metropolis World is already housing the leading names in the space. Could the latter be the incumbent destination for all things metaverse social life?

Passports launch to the public on September 10. See more info below.

👵You've explained the metaverse to your grandma...now what? How about showing her how it can quite literally change her life. Rendever is a VR leader focusing on improving social and mental health for seniors.

📦 Being at the cutting edge of tech doesn't mean you're building solely for young people who "get it." It means building for those that need it. The silver economy is growing in size and purchasing power. Those shaping the metaverse shouldn't assume that older generations can't be onboarded to these newer technologies, and instead focus on tackling the opportunities to solve real human pain points (e.g., mental health, education, relationships).

🗺️ (Real) World News

🏴󠁡󠁥󠁤󠁵󠁿 The Silicon Valley of the metaverse: Dubai. The host of METAVSUMMIT (Sept. 14-15) is quickly becoming the Web3 and metaverse capital of the world.

▪️$4 billion added to the economy via metaverse/web3 development.

☎️ A call from the VR Vatican gallery. Art from the Vatican will live in a VR and NFT gallery, as part of a collaboration between developer Sensorium and the Humanity 2.0 Foundation to 'democratize art'. You'll be able to access works from legendary artists including Michelangelo, van Gogh, Picasso, and more.

🛍️ Brand New World

🌮 "I do" – oh, and I'd like a dollop of sour cream too, por favor. From patent registration to full-blown contest in two weeks, Taco Bell sure does move fast. The fast food giant has unveiled a contest for a lucky couple to exchange nuptials in their Metaverse Wedding Chapel, complete with NFT wearables, minted wedding certificates, and surprise guests.

Think you and your lover have what it takes to be the first ones to ring the Taco Bell in DCL? (Read that sentence aloud to catch the tasty rhyme).

📦 Maybe this wasn't exactly how you imagined your dream wedding. Maybe you're a Chipotle champ. But it's certainly a more novel matrimonial tale than, "we got hitched in Vegas!" Get on social and spill the frijoles on why you are the perfect couple for a chance to make DCL history. 👰
