Metaverse Summit

{Metaverse News} 🤐It’s no secret that over the last few years, many physical events have now digital iterations or have even been completely digitized into virtual reality.

🇨🇴Recently, in Colombia, a local judge decided to bring a court hearing into the metaverse as an experiment with the technology. It was a civil case involving a traffic incident, which will progress further “partially” in the metaverse.

⚖️While many believe that the metaverse will reshape our social lives, it begs the question if digital reality can best serve important societal moments such as court cases where an individual’s future may be at stake.

💭The metaverse court case in Colombia was not so far off from what legal systems around the world needed to do during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was to go digital.

🚨{Metaverse News} Welcome to This Week in the Metaverse, where we round up the most interesting news in the world of NFTs, AI, and the metaverse.

👾Yuga Labs is continuing to build on the release of NFT-powered game Dookey Dash earlier this year.

🕹️The NFT powerhouse invited holders of its “sewer passes,” which were minted in January, to burn their pass to mint a new collection called HV-MTL, or heavy metal, that is in part derived from users’ Dookey Dash scores.

💲The new collection of 30,000 “mechs” (robot-looking boxy things) already sports a price floor of nearly $4,000 as the company has indicated that the NFTs will give users access to future minigames and other perks.
