Everyrealm takes on NFT NYC

Plus the Metaverse Standards Forum and more industry news...

NFT NYC was a big deal this year. Despite the down market, there was no shortage of excitement or positive energy around this year’s events. 

We hosted a Midsummer Night’s Dream-themed event alongside Ava Labs, Dragonfly Capital, and Republic Crypto. Thank you to everyone who came out!

For an inside look at the NFT NYC experience through our eyes, check out our vlog showcasing some of the different events attended by the Everyrealm team. Huge thanks to Luke Franks, host of the “Welcome to the Metaverse” podcast for preparing these videos.

Listen to Luke on Spotify or wherever else you get your podcasts for weekly deep dives with metaverse experts. We’re proud to sponsor his work.
