Disney and Dapper Labs — the masterminds behind NBA Top Shot and NFL All Day — have unveiled teaming up to create ‘Disney Pinnacle’, an exciting new NFT platform.

Disney Pinnacle’s hub of digital assets takes inspiration from the popular tangible pins featuring famous Walt Disney, Pixar, and Star Wars characters and themes, which hobbyists avidly garner and trade in the real world. 

Following the success of Dapper Labs’ blockchain and marketplaces, the platform holding these traditionally cherished physical collectibles will be digitally available on the Flow network and via the Apple App Store by this year’s end. 

Be the first to chase, collect and trade digital pins featuring characters you love. Only on Disney Pinnacle.

Degen Distillery — a London-based innovative spirits brand — is brewing an intriguing NFT project backed by Google and BrewDog on November 15. 

By leveraging NFTs into its business model, Degen Distillery’s flagship NFT project, ‘ORIGO Origin’, acts as the gateway to the spirit brand’s ecosystem, opening both digital and physical perks. 

The initial offering for ORIGO holders includes being granted Degen Distillery’s initial product: a collector’s edition bottle of vodka called ‘721’, aptly named after the number of NFTs available. Collectors can decide whether or not to keep the digital ‘Vodka 721’ asset to themselves, swap it for a physical bottle of vodka, or sell the virtual bottle to another collector for financial gain. 

But most importantly and revolutionary, once minting an ORIGO NFT for 0.1 ETH, collectors will have the rare opportunity to amass wealth through licensing their intellectual property (IP) rights — art, music, and technology — to co-create forthcoming Degen Distillery products. 

MINT MECHANICS

The revolution is about to begin…

Mint Date: Wednesday 15th November
Time: 7pm UTC / 2pm EST
Supply: 721
Mint Price: 0.1 Eth

Turning IP Ownership into Profitable Income

ORIGO Origin collectors aspiring to profit from their IPs can receive numerous benefits. First up, the NFTs enable members to monetize their collections and creations, spinning their creative endeavors into real world profit. Whether curating NFT artwork, producing music tracks, or designing a bottle label, ORIGO Origins collectors can receive license funds for their creations.

On top of incentivizing artistry, ORIGO Origin bolsters its community by granting ownership and value. NFT collectors and their chosen plus one are offered exclusive access to upcoming collections, events, collaborations and more.

The project’s tech-savvy “social distribution” technology, backed by Google, further empowers collectors to interact with Degen Distillery in innovative ways, like enhancing their digital identities through their chosen branding and lifelong online discounts for Degen’s products. Not only does this make ORIGO NFTs more interesting, but a timeless investment.

Degen Distillery is more than a fleeting trend — it’s a long-term, sustainable, venture that is poised to adapt and grow on the terms of its innovative and passionate community and partnerships.

Authentick, the brainchild behind Authentickator — which simplifies exploring, buying, and validating digital collectibles — just unveiled raising a whopping $4 million capital led by the Singaporean venture-building platform Menyala earlier this year.

On top of that, the Singaporean startup exposed its strategic partnerships with Southeast Asia’s renowned e-commerce platform Lazada, the social media behemoth TikTok, and the international e-commerce giant Shopify. All customers of these top-tier businesses can now seamlessly acquire virtual assets without common Web3 hurdles. 

Effortless Digital Asset Adoption

What sets Authentickator apart from other NFT platforms is its ability to transform such collectibles into a format suitable for widespread use. Customers across numerous sectors can acquire digital assets as they would any other item using traditional payment methods — complex blockchain-based processes, like creating a crypto wallet, are no longer necessary.

Authentickator goes above and beyond. Not only does it combine Web2 and Web3 by simplifying purchasing processes for blockchain-based assets, but it leverages its very own bespoke system that merges human review and AI to verify the safety, authenticity, and compliance of these virtual possessions. 

As a result, the startup has garnered strategic and robust partnerships with numerous apps, games, dApps, and Metaverses, including Animoca Brands and The Sandbox, bolstering the overall accessibility and utility of NFTs across a multitude of online platforms and experiences. 

Authentick’s Road Ahead

Now equipped with the financial resources, Authentick has ambitious aspirations for the future. One of which includes offering exclusive opportunities via an NFT drop to business allies seeking broader reach in the Web3 domain. Additionally, this endeavor will ensure its listing on platforms worldwide. 

It’s no wonder Menyala tapped into Authentick as part of its mission to empower builders in catalyzing technological advancements and paving the way for mass Web3 adoption. Authentickator forges the path for digital asset innovation, uplifting companies and consumers alike with the extensive advantages — real ownership, transparency, exclusivity, investment opportunities, etc. — digital collectibles bring.

In an unprecedented partnership, the professional football club AC Milan is teaming up with the on-chain financial company centered around NFTs, Crossmint, to tokenize its iconic stadium, San Siro, for innovative Web3 fan engagement experiences.

The concept is surprisingly simple yet undeniably revolutionary: fans can purchase a plot of the Milan football ground through fractionalized NFTs. When game-changing events happen on a fan’s piece of the pitch during at-home matches (goals, assists, a yellow card, etc.), they receive significant rewards: signed football shirts, VIP experiences, free match tickets and beyond. 

Credit notably goes to not just AC Milan and Crossmint, but also Polygon Labs and FANBLOCK — all collaborative efforts have played a crucial role in bringing this fandom-nurturing project to life.

Strengthening Fan Engagements with NFTs 

The vision of this trailblazing project is to address a persistent problem sports clubs face – the ability to identify and reward devoted fans productively. 

Blockchain technology offers a solution to this problem. Fans can quickly receive tokens for their interactions across numerous platforms, enabling them to build loyalty scores with clubs, which they can proudly present worldwide. In turn, clubs can use these NFTs to bolster fan engagement by issuing countless privileges. 

Crossmint x AC Milan’s fractionalized NFTs will play a vital role in ensuring the effortless redemption of such advantages without complex integrations. The club’s partners, ticketing platforms, streaming services, etc., can all partake. For instance, the club’s bar may offer complimentary drinks to engage fans in the midst of their football pitch’s fervor, enhancing the overall ambiance of the stadium and football matches. 

Proven Success in Blockchain and Sports

Crossmint’s partnership with AC Milan comes to light following the NFT and DeFi titan’s previous collaborations with esteemed sports institutions such as the National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball (MLB), the US Open, La Liga, Wimbledon, and iconic sports figures like Patrick Mahomes.

What makes Crossmint an attractive option for Web3 initiatives is its novice-friendly wallet and seamless NFT minting infrastructure. Entities can leverage blockchain technology to enhance fan experiences and engagements without needing prior Web3 knowledge or holding crypto, masking the blockchain’s sophisticated backend from end-users. 

Moreover, this isn’t the first time AC Milan has touched ground in the NFT sphere. In 2022, the team barnstormed a collaboration with the Web3 e-sports platform MonkeyLeague to launch top-tier NFTs with wearable jersey counterparts on Magic Eden — the same year it signed a multi-year deal with the sports NFT pioneer Sorare. 

As Crossmint and AC Milan’s partnership takes form, the future of fan engagement looks more optimistic than ever. It’s time for football fans to become active participants in the success of the club they champion and witness the sports world transform through the power of boundless blockchain technology.

Yuga Labs — the prominent NFT company behind remarkable projects like Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks — is excitingly collaborating with the leading cross-chain NFT marketplace, Magic Eden, to introduce a marketplace before this year’s end. 

Ending 2023 on a positive note, what will set this marketplace apart from the rest is its steadfast commitment to enforcing creator royalties, pioneering as the first top-tier Ethereum marketplace to uphold such standards. 

Planting something new for all creators.

We’re partnering with Magic Eden to launch the new Magic Eden ETH marketplace – the first major ETH marketplace contractually obligated to honor creator royalties.

The marketplace will launch end of 2023, more details soon. pic.twitter.com/iDrBM46nHk

Overriding Creator Royalty Woes

Creator royalties are an ongoing debate, spanning back as early as 2021. Industry-leading marketplaces like Blur, OpenSea, X2YE, and even Magic Eden, among others, have switched between mandatory and optional creator fees to none whatsoever.

For this reason, Magic Eden is facing backlash on Crypto Twitter, with some users stating the company has played a crucial role in complications arising from royalty policies.

A lot of talk about Magic Eden being part of the reason we ended up in the royalties mess in the first place, but personally I’d rather see companies pivot and be part of the solution rather than go under or fade out.

Rectifying mistakes is something we should be welcoming -…

— BETTY (@betty_nft) November 6, 2023

Nonetheless, Yuga Labs is no stranger to advocating for royalty fees, leaving OpenSea as a consequence of the marketplace ceasing enforced creator royalties. Sticking to its guns, the Yuga Labs-developed marketplace, co-created with Magic Eden, will emphasize ownership and continuous earnings of royalties for artistic creations. 

Honoring royalty payments will be non-negotiable. The ecosystem will only spotlight projects that share the same principles, ensuring all creators receive fair compensation for their creative endeavors. 

As the two Web3 powerhouses unite, this highly anticipated marketplace is poised to set a high standard, fostering an environment that is significantly more advantageous for NFT curators.

Stepn and Aoki’s Web3 Footprint

Stepn, developed by Find Satoshi Lab, is a move-to-earn game that enables users to acquire NFT sneakers through their mobile devices and garner cryptocurrency, NFTs, and other rewards by taking a simple stroll or intense run. Notably, it proudly touts a substantial user base of more than 2 million monthly active users.

Find Satoshi Lab is continuing to make waves in the Web3 landscape beyond linking Stepn up with Aoki, gearing up to debut its next game, ‘Gas Hero’, by this year’s end — a social adventure whereby players can plunge into a dystopian world to confront a troubled AI overlord accountable for a disastrously nuclear strike.

Aoki, on the flip side, has been actively involved in numerous Web3 projects in recent years, collaborating with iconic entities like Gala Games, Decentraland, Nickelodeon, and even the celebrated comic book illustrator, Todd McFarlene (‘Spawn’). Recognizing the advantages of limitless creativity and financial gain in the Web3 realm, the pioneering DJ brought his own virtual world, A0K1VERSE, to life in 2022.

Aoki and Stepn’s collaboration presents a pivotal moment whereby entertainment, gaming, and the blockchain intersect. On top of rolling out captivating Genesis Sneaker NFTs, these Web3 powerhouses illustrate what can be made possible through the synergy of notable figures and innovative blockchain-based entertainment platforms.

The blue-chip NFT collection y00ts, DeGods’ sister project, finally initiated its transition from Polygon to Ethereum less than 24 hours ago.

Following generating significant excitement since the bridge’s initial announcement in August, the chain switch rapidly garnered humungous attention. An astonishing 4,600 y00ts holders migrated their assets from Polygon to Ethereum within the first seven hours of being feasible via http://bridge.y00ts.com.

4600 y00ts have already migrated in the first 7 hours.

Incentivizing Early Adopters to Evolve 

Onboarding y00ts collectors to quickly switch from Polygon to Ethereum, the NFT project is generously covering all gas fees for first movers within the first 24 hours of viability. 

Further incentivizing early adoption, 10 y00ts NFTs will randomly be distributed to wallets that switch chains within the first day. Notably, such assets have a floor price of approximately $1225 (0.775 ETH), as per OpenSea.

Additionally — boosting y00ts holders to act promptly in the next week — the NFT project is imposing a royalty fee of 33.3% starting October 22. 

Tech Boosts and Imminent Upgrades 

y00ts partnered with Wormhole Crypto’s cross-chain NFT standard to ease this transition, offering a safe and effective process for holders. Moreover, users can access all verified y00ts links with ease through Phantom shortcuts, including the popular bridge link.

However, it’s important to note that Ethereum validation can take up to an hour before minting, with a 30 y00ts migration limit per user. The waiting room advises users to “just chill”, stating the “y00ts are in transit. You can leave this page and come back later.” In comparison, minting on Polygon is much swifter, validating such transactions within just seconds. System enhancements regarding this setback are in the works. 

Another critical differentiation to be aware of is that y00tpoints will operate exclusively on the Ethereum network. Staking y00ts on ETH is not necessary; just holding them in a wallet is sufficient enough.

y00ts’ dedication to becoming the leading cross-chain NFT community is becoming a reality, with the goal of scaling up through Bitcoin after the Polygon and Ethereum transfer fulfillment. The overarching target of y00ts’ creators, Dust Labs, is to cultivate a diverse and thriving NFT ecosystem — one of which is readily available across a multitude of blockchain networks.
