Renowned auction house Sotheby’s has partnered with metaverse platform RLTY to present live NFT auction during Paris Blockchain Week (PBW). 

It is called the “Oddly Satisfying Sale” and is a true flagship Web3 event. More specifically, NFT works will be on display during the PBW conference and available for auction on Sotheby’s website from 17 to 24 March and in RLTY World from 20 to 21 March.

Oddly Satisfying Sale will feature as many as 66 NFT artworks by established and emerging digital artists. Such as Beeple, Julien Rivoire, Brinkman and many others.

Paris Blockchain Week, Europe’s largest blockchain conference, will host the live version of the experience. But on a virtual level, the auction takes place in RLTY’s metaverse, RLTY World. Which will showcase not only tomorrow’s potential, but also what is possible in virtual worlds today.

In this regard, Raphael Assouline, co-founder of RLTY said:

“We’re excited to partner with Paris Blockchain Week. It’s vital for the development of the space that web3 conferences can be accessed from anywhere in the world. We’re looking forward to seeing the Web3 XP community come together and explore the commercial viability of blockchain tech.”

From the 66 NFT auction to the PBW Talent Fair, everyone live in the RLTY metaverse

Moreover, in RLTY’s metaverse, RLTY World, it will be possible to attend the Paris Blockchain Week Talent Fair.

In fact, at the center of the virtual experience, four customized stages will livestream panels, discussions, and keynotes from Paris.

In case insights from the main stage, networking opportunities and the business case for web3 are not enough, RLTY will take the PBW Talent Fair into the metaverse.

Top recruiters from the web3, crypto and blockchain industry will share their experience, insights and strategies to help build careers in web3.

The Talent Fair is a must-attend event for all students and entrepreneurs who are looking for job opportunities in Web3 but cannot travel to Paris.
