Cointelegraph has announced the inclusion of Metropolis in the Cointelegraph Accelerator program. Metropolis is a fully curated universe that merges commerce, real estate, avatars, and gaming with an experience spanning both digital and physical worlds. While general NFT markets like OpenSea cater to a broad user base, the NFT space is witnessing a shift towards platforms offering personalized experiences for both beginners and professional users, as well as for brands seeking entry into the NFT world. Well-known brands such as Nike and Gucci have already established side businesses selling branded NFTs totaling $260 million.

Metropolis X, the core platform of Metropolis, aims to revolutionize social commerce by offering a gaming marketplace where digital collectibles grant access to real products and experiences. It is backed by a network of over 350 leading creators and brands. Metropolis combines the creation of digital avatars with the NFT market, allowing users to create personalized avatars they can proudly call their own. Avatars are updated on the blockchain in real-time.

Metropolis has attracted a plethora of well-known names to its platform, including DJs such as Steve Aoki and Blondish, graffiti artists like Enivo, fashion designers such as Rick Dick and Pet Liger, as well as artists and companies from Web2 and Web3, including TimeOut, Unstoppable Domains, and others. Most featured items start as digital exclusives, enabling users to access a wider range of products and experiences.

Metropolis World is a virtual city that turns social profiles into digital cities, fostering authentic connections in online communities. Through immersive environments and engaging narratives, users curate collections of personal spaces reflecting their identity and interests. Metropolis is gearing up for its token generation event in mid-2024, which promises to unite its various components into a cohesive gaming ecosystem.
