Affyn is a Singapore-based firm that creates smartphone games with built-in geolocation and augmented reality functionality utilizing blockchain technology with a viable play-and-earn economy that allows prizes gained in the virtual world to be used in the real world. In the virtual world being developed by Affyn, the NEXUS land is a digital depiction of real estate mapped according to the actual world. A hexagon represents each country. NEXUS allows landowners to erect buildings on their property. Digital representations of property exist in the virtual world through these structures. These structures are available for purchase in the marketplaces and have their attributes. Building the Virtual Experience in the Metaverse with NFTs Players in Affyn and Aavegotchi, for instance, are rewarded with virtual goods like NFTs and in-game cryptocurrencies, which may be exchanged, sold, or borrowed. Further, the release of automobile components as NFTs from other games, such as Battle Racer, significantly enhances the usability of NFTs by providing an experience that users can cherish and hold on to. Even though a real immersive experience is a few years away, NFTs may be used for skins and aesthetics in more popular games like Fortnite. In addition to helping players better represent the ownership and uniqueness of their goods, this raises worldwide in-game expenditure, which is expected to reach $74.4 billion by 2025, to current estimates. according Further, NFTs aid the metaverse by modifying and providing new features to virtual objects and real-life experiences as NFTs can be used for passes, virtual events, parties, and concerts held in many metaverses. For example, Rapper and entrepreneur Snoop Dog, a staunch supporter of NFT, teamed up with The Sandbox to throw a party in September 2021. Access to Snoop Dogg's private lifestyle, unique NFTs, events, and an opportunity to have Snoop Dogg play its exclusive performance on their land was all part of the Snoop Private Party Pass, which was launched in 2012. These are a few examples of how NFTs merge virtual and real-world experiences together. Meta is Testing NFTs Integration - A Win for the Crypto Industry It's impossible to find a quicker or more efficient method to market NFTs to the art community without the use of social media. Social media makes it easy to sell NFTs put them up on auction or publicize a sale to attract investors. Digital art has blossomed and increased in popularity due to social media, where a number of artists have large or at least significant social media followings. In the same manner that advertising links a customer to a brand, social media platforms serve as a connecting point between a purchaser and a seller of NFTs. Polygon and Ethereum-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are being tested on Facebook by Meta's Product Manager Navdeep Singh, working with a small group of developers who are set to change the NFT industry in the long run. https://twitter.com/navdeep_ua/status/1542291276883582979 Meta tested NFT integrations on Instagram in May, its initial step into NFTs. This new version features a "digital collectibles" option that lets Facebook users display their NFT collection on their profile pages. Integrating NFTs with social media mechanics will make it easy for artists to market NFTs and develop a blooming NFT economy on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Final Thoughts Affyn selling out its NFT collection and building a Play-2-Earn game with in-game mechanics convey a continued interest in NFT sales and projects. The integration of Meta with NFTs will provide users with a memorable experience when interacting with their NFTs. The future of NFTs is built on the foundation of providing unique experiences to users. Don’t forget to share and like the story! Image credits: , , and . Minh Pham Arthur Mazi Rodion Kutsaev
