Hyundai has partnered with the Meta Kongz NFT project to create a batch of 30 NFTs. Coin Journal has learned in a press release that it will be launched in May.
The South Korean automaker posted a video showing an animatronic Meta Kong riding through space in a 1975 Hyundai Pony and created a new Twitter handle for NFT-related communications.
“A ticket to a new world”
The ad included another “Shooting Star NFT” teaser, stating that it was “a ticket to a whole new world.” It is likely that more NFTs will be generated.
Hyundai shared its “Metamobility” concept in January, a vision of robots as a mediator between the Metaverse and the real world. Once implemented, changes made by users in the Metaverse will appear in real life, allowing “people to overcome the physical limitations of movement in time and space”.
Hyundai stated:
With the metaverse set to become an everyday space for people in the future, the company anticipates the potential emergence of a new kind of metaverse platform where discrimination can disappear from reality, breaking with the concept of VR as the world knows it today. .
Activision Blizzard sends out NFT surveys
Activision Blizzard, which Microsoft acquired for $69 billion in January, has distributed a survey to its gamers.
They were asked to provide feedback on their Play to Earn and Metaversa games, as well as to share if they were interested in NFTs. If so, they were asked to explain the extension.
At the time of the above acquisition, Microsoft CEO and President Satya Nadella said he would be working to provide Metaversa with building components, adding that games would play an important role in the growth and improvement of the metaverse platforms.
Checking health data such as NFTs
In related news, blockchain services company HashCash Consultants has announced a partnership with an as-yet-unnamed UK-based company to create NFTs, which include health data. Raj Chaudhry, CEO of HashCash Consultants explained:
If your genetic data is converted into NFTs, the information is then attached to an inherent feature to be tracked, this should allow you to monitor where your data ends up and keep track of who owns the NFT and also see if it is being used without permission.
