The company also announced the debut of its Twitter and Discord accounts, as well as the impending launch of its website. The firm intends to communicate with community members through these channels while managing the value of its NFTs.

A short film presenting the automaker’s Metamobility Universe was also shown. On that occasion, the automaker presented its vision of a future in which virtual reality is used to improve mobility.

NFTs from the community to Hyundai’s Metamobility Initiative

Thomas Schemera, Hyundai’s Global Chief Marketing Officer, stated that the business is excited to provide Metamobility to its community via the NFTs. 

He went on to say that “the NFT universe will extend the firm’s brand experience, especially with the MZ generation, in a completely new way, further reinforcing our commitment to innovation in both the real world and in the metaverse”.

To celebrate the debut of the short film, the automaker will distribute 30 limited edition NFTs on April 20. Even as the Hyundai NFT world continues to develop, these releases will continue throughout the year. Hyundai intends to make a profit. All proceeds from the sale of Hyundai NFTs will go toward project and community management.

Several automakers, like Hyundai, are entering the industry, but without their communities. Mahindra, an Indian company, just launched its first batch of NFTs. 

Conclusion

Meta Kongz just finished governance voting on an agenda regarding the transfer of the Klaytn chain to the Ethereum chain. The majority of the votes were cast in favor of the migration.

Meta Kongz will transition to the Ethereum blockchain, which was an unavoidable step for the project’s internationalization. Because attracting non-Koreans to the Klaytn chain is incredibly difficult, many NFT traders choose to use the Ethereum chain using the Metamask wallet. As a result of the relocation, Meta Kongz will be able to gain additional exposure.

Given Meta Kongz’s never-ending growth, the title of the world’s No. 1 NFT project might be a reality soon.
