The Spark (ep. #10)

Hello and welcome to the episode #10 of “The Spark“ newsletter!

Here you can find everything you need to stay up-to-date with upcoming NFT projects and web3 games.

Now let’s dive into the info

Episode structure:

[Early alpha] section:

1. Reebok Impact (2080 followers)

• Sportswear company ‘Reebok‘ enters web3 through partnership with Futureverse metaverse

• Will be working on ‘immersive virtual gaming experiences‘ leveraging the ‘on-chain digital wearables‘

• Set to launch in 2024 (exact date TBA)

My take:

Another huge web2 company starts to build in web3, which is always a good thing to hear. Emphasis on web3 gaming narrative is strong, even for companies that are not tied to this industry.

Futureverse (partner) is $54M VC backed project, which is focused on building a scalable, open and AI powered metaverse. They have a long list of investors, including Ripple, which is quite huge.

Considering the fact that this game/experience will go live in 2024 and there’re no specific requirements on access/WL/else, you can just follow that account and keep an eye on development.

2. Polyverse (1240 followers)

• 0 post yet, super early

• Has lots of notable followers (NFT and web3 gaming builders, influencers and collab managers)

• Rumored to be a free mint by huge web2 company (not confirmed yet)

My take:

Very limited information about this one as of right now. Account was created this month, however we can notice lots of big names who already follow the project.

Waitlist form on their website is available, just need to enter your e-mail address. No other activities beyond that.
