Lars Seier Christensen, Founder of Saxo Bank and Concordium Blockchain Identity Solution, is the new guest in the latest episode of Dinis Guarda YouTube podcast. Both experienced entrepreneurs and experts discuss the multi-dimensional solutions that blockchain offers and how Concordium is harnessing this technology to create a sustainable infrastructure for innovating identity solutions. And all of these within the context of the metaverse.

Lars Seier Christensen is a Danish businessman, investor, and serial entrepreneur. He is the founder of one of the most iconic financial and multi-asset trading and investment platforms, Saxo Bank. Having spent his early career years at Saxo Bank, and learning some of the most challenging lessons here, Dinis was delighted to interview Lars at the latest episode of his YouTube podcast series, powered by citiesabc.com, fashionabc.org, and openbusinesscouncil.org.

The two experts journeyed through various milestones within the context of technological advancements, while discussing the potentials that lie within the bedrocks of blockchain technology, and finally how Concordium, a blockchain-based infrastructure founded by Lars, provides identity solutions for its users. The conversation grows up to touch one of the highlights: how all these solutions will meet and enhance the metaverse.

Early in the interview, Lars clearly indicated his profound interest in the business. It was this urge to attain extraordinary dimensions, that he worked in a multitude of industries before starting a brokerage firm with one of his clients, that later popularised into Saxo Bank: an unconventional internet-based trading and financial platform.

“I had no idea about the internet at that time. We were attracted to it as we realised that it had a lot of potential for the world, not just the financial industry. And we ended up bringing up one of the world’s most interesting foreign exchange trading platforms, and it later became a much broader offering. With the internet, we were able to gradually scale up from tens to hundreds to thousands of people at the same time, and then to a much wider public than had prior to that.”, he told Dinis.

Recollecting his experiences at Saxo Bank, Dinis agreed with Lars that while the work culture at Saxo Bank was performance-oriented, it always considered every stakeholder into perspective. “When somebody chooses you for banking or any other purpose, they are there for their own development or to feed their own family. They are not there to make me rich. So, there needs to be something in it for everyone.”, said Lars, sharing his ideology with Dinis as a founder. “It’s not only about maximising the business outcome if you don’t have a nice time,” he added.

Venturing into the world of blockchain

Between 2009 and 2011, when blockchain was just born, Lars started to get aware of this trending technology. Over the next few years, he started to explore it and realised the potential that lay in it. Working in a world where financial institutions and service providers are governed by regulations and legislation, Lars followed it as a hobby.

Although decentralised in its nature, he told Dinis, he understood that the drawbacks of the technology, like anonymity and non-scalability, could become major challenges in its mainstream adoption.

“That’s what led me to set up Concordium as an attempt to combine these two things- take what’s great about the blockchain (distributed nature, no single points of failure) and with the traditional finance system where we know what regulators think,” he told Dinis.

Thus, with a solid framework at its foundations, Concordium provides an impenetrable infrastructure that merges conventional financing with the decentralised blockchain network to offer an advanced model for users where they can build a multitude of use cases.

Seier Capital: Lar’s family office and investment vehicle

Steering the conversation to another dimension of Lar’s personality, investing, Dinis asked him to throw light on Seier Capital. Lars told him that after he left Saxo Bank, he shifted his focus to provide an identity to it. As of today, he has morphed it into an operational unit from where he makes his decisions related to investment in businesses and enterprises and operated his restaurants and other ventures in technology, especially blockchain.

“I’ve allocated a portion to the use cases that I want to build on Concordium. Somebody sitting and thinking I’m building this exciting blockchain use case, may have a look there. You might be lucky to inspire me so much that I help you a little bit financially,” he said about Seier Capital.

Sharing his wealth of knowledge and wisdom for young entrepreneurs and technology enthusiasts, Lars said:

“There will be hard days but you really need to have love and persistence for what you want to do. Further, focus on something that you know about. You need to know at least something about what you are going to pursue. Other than that, make your decisions, and have the stomach for what comes next.”

Joey Poareo Biography

Joey Poareo is a developer and serial entrepreneur. Joey is well known in the blockchain and decentralization sphere as the co-founder at InuYasha, a decentralized incubator accelerator fund that uses DAO governance to speed up crypto projects like Guzzler and The Science Dao.

He has been in board and executive positions across multiple industries from blockchain technology to mental health rehabilitation and healthcare. He has also led philanthropic efforts in providing housing and care for close to 50 children. Currently, Joey brings his talent and abundant leadership skills to a multi-project corporation, consisting of tens of thousands of individuals.

Mr Poareo has worked almost his entire professional career in startups across multiple industries and has worked as deal flow aggregator for venture capital investment.

More recently, Joey Poareo has been involved in blockchain technology as the CEO of The Science DAO,  a decentralized think tank, incubator engine, and accelerator platform aimed to empower inventors, entrepreneurs, and institutions to collaborate and make informed investments in a wide spectrum of technologies and life sciences. In his role as CEO, he oversees the organization’s mission.

Some of the positions held by Joey along the years has been:

• Managing Director- Beech Street Holdings

• Board Member – Green Trail Technologies INC

• Board Member – Bdayfreeday

• Partner – Rose Pacific Holdings LLC Manhattan Beach, California

• Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder – The Sachiko Group Inc

• Advisory Board Member – Rose Pacific Environmental Inc

• The Evergreen State College

About The Science DAO decentralized think tank

The Science DAO, launched by Yasha, is a decentralized autonomous organization built on the Ethereum blockchain that seeks to leverage the community-building strength of DAOs to create a strong and loyal group of creatives and brilliant minds.

InuYasha has launched three other projects to date — Guzzler, Cliff, and Pochi Inu — all of which have been tremendously successful and have raised millions of dollars. With a track record of 3-on-3, it is reasonable to expect a positive outcome from the launch of The Science DAO.

The Science DAO’s vision stems from the challenge that has long plagued the scientific community — the lack of community support for innovators for their disruptive inventions and emerging technologies. The project’s idea is that these like-minded people would fall under the same roof to support investors and propel scientific innovation by raising funds unanimously.

“At its core, The Science DAO is a strong community of geniuses, innovators, and brilliant minds that collaborates on groundbreaking inventions and innovation but without bureaucracy or sour politics.” – Joey Poareo

The workings of The Science DAO are quite intuitive. To obtain funds for any innovation or project, the person would first have to submit their project to the DAO.

The project is then scrutinized by the members of the DAO, following which they vote on the same. Like most other DAOs, each governance token is considered to be 1 vote.

Post-approval of the project, the DAO creates a corresponding NFT that represents the fundraiser. All proceeds from the sales of these NFTs (minting and secondary market sales) go toward the development of the project.

There would certainly be a significant number of rejected projects, but even in such cases, the innovators can still raise funds and be incubated by individuals within the DAO.

One of the key reasons why blockchain enthusiasts are backing this DAO and are hyped about it is its target demographics. While the average Joe can get his hands on the DAOs governance token on the open market, the tokens would be primarily distributed to individuals in institutions, universities, and scientific funds.

Further, the tokenomics in their white paper specifies that no wallet can hold more than 1% of the total token supply, i.e., 1 billion of the total 100 billion tokens. This is a strong indicator as it is an attempt to keep whales at bay.

Remember Michael Jackson’s posthumous performance on his hit number “Slave To The Rhythm“? It resurrected him from the dead. Amazing, isn’t it? The hologram performance was the first insight into how our lives are going to be reinvented, transforming our traditional ways of living and working. Now as the world recuperates itself from the damages of the pandemic, these topics are becoming more relevant in their existence.

How Will the Metaverse Change The Way We Work In Digital Workspaces?

Although VR took a little longer than a decade to get into the mainstream, many new technologies like Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, and biometric sensors are already gaining traction, with big businesses innovating with their applications.

The world faced some grave challenges during the last few years, especially as the pandemic roped in. In light of recent advancements, it is finding respite with sustainable technological solutions.

Metaverse is now emerging to open vast opportunities, that were even unimagined until recently:- making friends and acquaintances, designing architectural structures, touring through virtual real estate, rearing virtual pets, and engaging in virtual concerts and events in the metaverse, besides simply earning money from digital assets.

Exploring these dimensions, we realise how technology and businesses are impacting the velocity of evolution of the metaverse in our lives.

Technological advancements accelerating the ingression of the metaverse

The current metaverse solutions do not even require establishing a sophisticated infrastructure, like a computer, a desktop, a mouse, or a keyboard. In fact, the rapid progress made in computer-generated holograms replaces any need for VR headsets with windows to create holograms from computer images or pods to project people and images in the physical space.

Haptic gloves enable the users to interact better in the 3D space based on parameters, like motion, pressure, and texture. Avatar-based platforms can offer immersion by focussing on interactive and collaborative working as well as learning opportunities.

“With the shift to remote working from the pandemic, keeping employees engaged has become a top challenge for many companies. You can’t keep 20 people engaged in the flat 2-D environment of a video call; some people don’t like appearing on camera; you’re not simulating a real-life scenario. That is why companies are turning to metaverse-based platforms.”, Pushpak Kypuram, Founder and Director of NextMeet, a platform that offers social connection, mobility, and collaboration at virtual workspaces.

The digital avatars can perform several activities in real-time: live presentations in the boardrooms, networking with fellow digital colleagues in a lounge, or approaching a virtual helpdesk. For instance, a company can make an onboarding process virtually interesting by facilitating it with a walk around the virtual office space or a gallery to explore the company.

Further, these experiences can be enhanced with special features, like creating well-being and leisurely spaces, instances of informal and spontaneous conversations, and live status tracking of every individual digital element in the scene.

Businesses providing impetus to the metaverse

Well-demarcated work hours right from the comforts of home is a key concept that metaverse offers for improved productivity and better communications among teams. Virtual workspaces can be designed specifically to match the organisations’ vision and mission statements, highlighting their basic character.

A research lab in a Zen Garden or an art class at the beach could provide a fresh perspective on the innovation taking place there.

The creation of digital humans has been one of the most innovative advancements that have taken place in recent times. Nearly-human-like bots could create an array of digital colleagues in these specially designed virtual workspaces. These are powered by special AI systems like conversational AI, one that can understand text and voice conversations, understand and interpret context, make decisions, gesture like humans, show emotions, and converse in natural language.

These digital humans are skilled to take up diverse roles like COVID health advisor, attorney, career counselor, general wellbeing expert, diet consultant, real estate agent, etc. It is also opening doors to a whole new digital economy with fresh avenues for users in the metaverse. Besides creators, meshers will design 3D templates that can be customised and tailored by others to create digital assets and designs.

Virtual realtors, metaverse-native enterprises, cybersecurity professionals, and policymakers could be some of the roles that we can imagine. There could be many others that would still need to be explored.

Simulation is the key feature that can be used for training and skill development purposes, be it for medical research and surgery, manufacturing a new automobile, high-pressure firefighting, or dealing with a challenging bank customer.

The interactive nature facilitated in the metaverse-based learning model could also be beneficial for the disabled populations globally using sensorial cues including touch, vision, and hearing. Further, by ensuring a safe and encouraging metaverse environment, we can look towards a more inclusive society with better well-being.

Serious concerns that will need to be looked

Despite a promising future, the metaverse faces notable hurdles on its way to seamless adoption at a global level. We still have to figure out the computing and power infrastructure that needs to be put in place for a full-fledged metaverse. Its segregated nature and regulatory compliance issues are some of the prime reasons of concern, besides risks like IP theft, unethical behaviour, and addiction.

Although highly scalable and efficient, digital humans bring with them their own share of risks. Increased automation could possibly lead to a decline in human effort in many areas, limited to only those where there are fewer opportunities to grow and innovate. What’s more, it could also cause possible erosion of cultural and behavioural benchmarks and identity theft.

Looking forward to the metaversive opportunities

Metaverse is an opportunity that enhances authenticity, cohesiveness, and interaction in remote and hybrid work cultures. It is ready to reshape our work with better ways of team collaboration, AI-enabled digital colleagues, modelled learning and skill acquisition, and newer work roles. But, is the world ready to take on the challenges it poses to humanity?

Host Dinis Guarda interviews COO of Blocksport.io, Samir Ceric, in the latest episode of his YouTube podcast series, powered by citiesabc.com, openbusinesscoincil.org, and fashionabc. Samir highlights the unique digital model by Blocksport for the sports industry, the importance of education in sports tech, and the essence of creating an ecosystem. 

Samir Ceric is a well-known investor and entrepreneur who has managed various senior executive roles in his professional career. Being from a multi-faceted family, Samir feels privileged to be nurtured with values of philanthropy and charity.

His love for Mathematics urged him to pursue a Master’s with majors in Decision Theory, Statistics, and Probability from Università di Bologna. There, he realised that Mathematics is not just about numbers, “The human behaviour and psychology are based on stats and probability. So, these subjects helped me understand the world, the life, and the society that we live in as rather a different kind of a platform- just a number crunching exercise.”, he explained.

Explaining to Dinis about his multicultural experience during his extensive professional years of investment banking and entrepreneurship, he said, “We should celebrate the similarities, but we learn about the differences in the way that helps us do business, help us open opportunities for each other, help us combine interests, and generate success stories as a result of that.”

Golden words of a veteran

Speaking directly from his experience, Samir told Dinis that the gist of progressing along to the C-level is the ability to spot and create opportunities. He emphasised the essence of inspiring, encouraging, and empowering those around us.

Sharing the key element to being a true leader, he said, “If you can be the leader that recognises the potential lying around when the people are struggling and is able to articulate the challenges to the investment groups and boards at the times when they are also looking to make the decisions, you are doing the right things, you are on the road to success.”

To Dinis’s curiosity as to how he deals with the challenges, Samir had the most pragmatic answer. According to him, no achievement or success comes without lessons learnt. He is a firm believer that ‘There are no failures in life, only lessons learnt.’

Even if you don’t achieve all the things, you set out to achieve, you will probably achieve so much more if you are ambitious, committed, and showcase the most difficult skill to acquire- patience. If you can draw from difficulties, challenges, and failures, you sharpen yourself, improve your character, and dramatically improve your chances of success.”, he enlightened.

Blocksport: A holistic ecosystem that is one-of-its-kind

As the discussion progressed to more intriguing elements, Dinis congratulated Samir for his achievements in life, especially for his exemplary contribution to his current organisation. Explaining the unique nature of Blocksport, Samir said that it is the only sports tech company in the world that offers a full ecosystem for sporting entities and their fans.

The fan engagement and the ability to offer fans even better opportunities to engage with their beloved clubs is something that’s been massively overlooked over the past few years, and it’s still today. So, Blocksport has thought of a full ecosystem for all these sporting entities to be able to help them facilitate opportunities in terms of revenue creation, improvement of their sponsorship, activation missions, improvements in fan engagement, and has come up with a very smart thing which is a non-speculative fan token.”, he explained.

He further mentioned to Dinis that the token products offer better utilities and benefits for fans and sporting entities. Also, he added that educating the community is the prime focus of Blocksport. While on one hand the club management is made aware to involve itself responsibly in the crypto space, the fan base is educated about the better content that can be made available at the digitalised platform- never-before experiences, opportunities, and digital assets (NFTs).

Pointing at the element that maintains the sustainability of the project, Samir said, “I think that five years down the line when we look back, we will see that all this buzz that’s been happening in the sports tech industry, majority of the buzz is long gone, and the players like Blocksport are sustained because they held the hierarchy to the utmost importance.”

Explaining this pyramid in the sports industry, he said that it has the fans at the top, the sports management in the middle, and the players like blockchain technology providers at the bottom. “We are here to serve the industry, we are not here to steal the customer data. Our partners own all the data, we are purely the facilitator and the enabler for further engagement and new revenue creation, in order to make their business model succeed.”, he elaborated.

Highlighting the achievements of the project, Samir told Dinis that Blocksport has launched token offerings for two of the sporting clubs already, including Partizan BC and Empoli FC. Bulgarian Football Federation and Kaizan Chiefs Football Club, the biggest franchise in South Africa, have also been signed and are in the planning phase of releasing their fan engagement apps and fan token offerings. Taking cultural differences into account, the company is strategically identifying a variety of markets to penetrate worldwide.

Speaking of Blocksport’s plans to bridge blockchain, 4IR, and the metaverse, Samir told Dinis, “Metaverse is something I’m very excited about and something that Blocksport is very keen to develop in partnerships and corporations at other places.”

Concluding an enlightening interview, Samir told Dinis that he is a supporter of the Blue Ocean business strategy, which believes in incorporation and collaboration. “We will only benefit and win if we truly want to incorporate our partners and also competitors. We will not win even if all we care about is the return of investment towards the investment groups or dragon horses of those companies.”, he shared.

Felix Xu is Co-Founder and CEO of ARPA, Bella Protocol was the guest of the first-ever Citiesabc podcast with Hilton Supra, powered by citiesabc.com, openbusinesscouncil.org and fashionabc.org. He explains the technicalities behind his companies, the importance of Blockchain and DeFi in the current world, and how these technologies can be improved.

Felix Xu graduated with Finance, and Information Systems degrees from New York University, which is known for its Computer Science and AI research. For the past 6 years, Felix has been working on venture capital investment in Fintech, big data and AI startups. Most recently he led blockchain sector research and early-stage investment at Fosun Group, one of the largest conglomerates in China. He is also the Co-Founder and CEO of ARPA, Bella Protocol.

Felix Xu’s views on scalability

During the interview, Xu describes scalability as the ability of a system to handle increased load or traffic. In the context of blockchains, it is the ability to process more transactions per second (TPS) in order to meet the growing demands of users, something that layer 1 networks really struggle with.

Why is scaling such a problem?

“The two most obvious examples of a Layer 1 network are Bitcoin and Ethereum. These blockchains are base networks – they handle every aspect of every transaction on-chain and without assistance from any other network. 

But this makes transactions on those blockchains extremely heavy and slow – every single new transaction needs to be validated by the network; then, before a new block is added to the chain, it requires to be checked against the entire history of the network. There are no shortcuts in layer 1 blockchains.”

Xu also touches upon the importance of Layer 2. Layer 2 blockchains are so-called because they sit as a second layer on top of a base mainnet.

“Layer 2 chains are designed to enable more transactions per second to be processed, and they achieve this by doing something novel – they move transactions off of the heavy mainnet. Different layer 2 solutions achieve this in slightly different ways, but the objective is always the same: streamlining the amount of information that needs to be validated by cumbersome underlying blockchain.

There is a multitude of layer 2 solutions currently being used with different blockchains, but for simplicity, let’s look at one of the most well-known, to better understand how it works.”

About ARPA

In fact, ARPA is a blockchain-based layer 2 solution for privacy-preserving computation, enabled by Multi-Party Computation (“MPC”). Founded in April 2018, the goal of ARPA is to separate data utility from ownership and enable data renting. ARPA’s MPC protocol creates ways for multiple entities to collaboratively analyse data and extract data synergies while keeping each party’s data input private and secure.

As Xu explains:

“We propose a blockchain-based secure computation network of Multi-party Computation (MPC). ARPA cryptographically enables private smart contract, unprecedented data-at-use privacy protection, as well as scalable computational sharding ARPA network is flexible, easy-to-use, and compatible with existing blockchains such as Ethereum and EOS. Let’s rethink blockchain for the real world”.

About Bella Protocol

Bella Protocol is an aggregated user interface for existing Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols. It aims to simplify the user experience of existing DeFi protocols and allow users to deploy their assets and earn yield with ease.

“Our protocol aims to create a better user experience by eliminating the high fee and slow transaction issues that can affect some blockchain platforms like Ethereum while simultaneously improving the user experience through its simplified DeFi smart portal.

Bella’s smart pool feature allows users to access the best yields available in the DeFi market while benefiting from nearly zero gas fees since these are directly subsidized by the platform. The project launched in September 2020 as the first project distributed via Binance’s Launchpool platform, and has secured investments from several prominent firms, including Arrington XRP Capital and Ledger Capital.”

NFTs are the ‘keys’ and Metaverse is the ‘door’ to the world of Web 3.0, an improved and latest version of the Internet. And here, we see the world swiftly transitioning towards that realm, leveraged by the latest technological advancements, as the French city of Cannes sells its landmarks as NFTs to find integration in the metaverse.

Using NFTs To Protect the Heritage Of Popular Cities Around The World
Using NFTs To Protect the Heritage Of Popular Cities Around The World

NFTs are non-fungible tokens issued on the blockchain to represent something that’s unique. NFTs have been quite a rage since the beginning of 2021. It was, although, by the end of the year, that the world came to realise the real-life use cases of NFTs. Crowdfunding, Patents and Intellectual Property, real estate, and finally, building metaverses. The recent sale of Cannes landmarks for €330,000 is the latest buzz in the town. 

But first things first, what does an NFT mean?

Well, an NFT certifies the ownership of a product with a unique signature that cannot be forged. In other words, an NFT (representing a digital asset) can neither be replicated nor modified. The ownership and origin of an NFT can always be traced with the help of its underlying technology, blockchaina technology that is inherently transparent and immutable. 

Let’s find out how the city of Cannes benefits from NFTs for its iconic landmarks. 

Cannes, a majestic city famous across the world for its prestigious film festival, is the home to some of the most exquisite architecture in France. Ten of its emblematic locations, including the Croisette and the Palais des Festivals, went on sale led by Artcurial. 

Arnaud Oliveux, auctioneer for Artcurial, said:- “Until now NFTs have been limited to graphic creations. For the first time, we have put on sale NFTs linked to real estate locations.”

What really intriguing is the fact that the 3D models and NFTs offered to the bidders can eventually integrate into the metaverse, facilitating them to host virtual cultural events.

NFTs landscape: Finding a new dimension in real estate

As NFTs rise in popularity, they are eventually branching out, finding new dimensions. They are now representing the ownership of tangible items in the real (physical) world, like real estate property. 

In particular, NFTs in real estate are gaining traction, given their advantages over the traditional market. Of its many challenges, the conventional real estate markets face a hassled transfer of ownership, fraudulent deal, illiquidity, and barriers to entry (financial and geographical). NFTs ensure to overcome each one of them, head-on.

NFTs streamline the transaction process, by removing any middleman in the process. The buyers and the sellers are in direct contact with each other. Further, fractionating the digital property lowers the entry barriers for a global demographic. Additionally, NFTs could be used for increasing liquidity by involving in financial protocols like DeFi (Decentralised Finance) and TradFi (Traditional Finance). Due diligence comes complementary to the blockchain network, owing to its transparent nature. 

The critical element, NFTs, makes it a one-of-a-kind solution when it comes to creating content- digital properties or any other collectibles. The NFT unique technology can get authenticated using the fabrics of blockchain technology. It can be purchased using digital wallets including cryptocurrencies, and also debit or credit cards, and assetised using fintech protocols available in the network.”, Dinis Guarda, author, academician, influencer, serial entrepreneur and leader in 4IR, AI, Fintech, digital transformation, and blockchain.

Real Estate NFTs bring out a fresh facet of this technology- the metaverse. From bringing up digital storefronts by major brands to virtual gaming in the Play to Earn (P2E) model, and virtual ‘metaversive’ events, it’s human imagination only that limits the application of technology in the real world. 

The future: Opening the long-closed doors

Conventionally, real estate has been quite opaque in its operations, shutting any interference from external participants. With NFT integration, however, the doors that were previously never explored are opening by themselves; presenting opportunities that were never even thought of. Direct participation has also accelerated the processes, enhancing the global transformation that Web 3.0 promises inherently.

New Global Tourism And Property NFT Marketplace By LynKey Aims To Innovate The $12 Trillion Property And Leisure Industries

Singapore, Hanoi, London 28th June 2022

The Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) industry has been on the rise since 2017, reaching a $12 Billion market cap in June 2022 according to CoinMarketCap. What’s more, NFTs are revolutionizing the tourism and real estate industries, shifting the way people buy, rent, and sell property, and experience tourism.

The revolutionary potential of NFTs is down to its unique features: they are like certificates of authenticity that one receives when buying a digital asset (or a digitized asset). These are traded in marketplaces, and range from digital artwork to exclusive experiences, and even the certification of land ownership.

“NFTs provide an essential building block for the creation of the digital world. They offer a ubiquitous means to securely share ownership, access, and use of a unique set of data.  As such, NFTs are then a key enabler of digital transformation and a much-needed invention, enabling us, for the first time, to certify an ever-expanding digital ecosystem on which we are increasingly dependent,” said Dinis Guarda, Co-Founder of LynKey.

NFTs transform the property industry

Property and tourism are great examples of how NFTs are transforming entire industries. Land is divided into different properties. Each property has a clear boundary, and its title comes with certain rights and obligations. The property may have buildings or permissions to build them, each of which will also have its own set of permissions and licences. Properties are bought, leased, and sold. As assets, they generally have a different dimension of value, as land, for their rights, such as mineral extraction, and their potential use, such as commercial use, and they need insurance against certain risks.

Using NFT and blockchain technology, buying and selling a given property becomes a significantly more straightforward, quicker, and cheaper transaction. And their potential goes beyond that.  Where NFTs have started to enable the capture and leverage of a broader range of value with virtual assets, the same is true with property, potentially also extending the identified value related to a property that can be bought and sold.

A more flexible, transparent and friendly tourism industry

On the side of Tourism, business and leisure travellers can now fly to locations all over the world and finalize the details of their trip from a smartphone. It’s safe to say that travel has come a long way from paper records and the cumbersome process of reservations and itinerary management using smartphones to do these tasks.

However, there are still obvious challenges in the tourism and property industry that persist. Global travellers, for example, often have to deal in local fiat currencies and lose money to high exchange fees, they cannot personalize their experience, or even sell, modify or cancel their “trip”.

NFTs and blockchain can speed up the digitization process and tackle these challenges along the way. They allow for digitally enhancing and gratifying experiences and providing utility through loyalty and rewards programs, games, registration and booking incentives, storytelling, event access, and more.

LynKey NFT Marketplace: Bridging and digitizing property and tourism industries

A marketplace is an actual place where NFTs are bought and exchanged. Consider a situation where a large piece of virtual land is fractionalized and is available for sale. When a person buys a particular fraction of this property, it is in the form of an NFT. This means that the owner will receive a specific number of tokens that represent the percentage share in the asset (land). Now, these NFTs could be minted at a marketplace for many reasons- leasing, licensing, or even timesharing. Similarly, NFTs can be created for unique tourism experiences.

LynKey is becoming a pioneer in this NFT revolution of the Property and Travel industries. Building on that vision, LynKey aims to transform smart tourism, property management, and timesharing, starting with their own token, LynK, which is available on Uniswap; and a new NFT Marketplace.

“We intend to bridge the gap between the tourism and property industry and blockchain, showcasing how blockchain can enable an entire property ecosystem that offers massive advantages over the traditional property, tourism, and time-sharing market. And our recently launched NFT marketplace, along with our strong token, is just the first step towards that,” said Jason H. Jang, advisor and blockchain NFT strategist at LynKey.

LynKey’s NFT marketplace offers a platform where new NFTs can be created for countless unique experiences and tokens can be exchanged for those that are already existing. The marketplace will keep the NFT value guaranteed by an actual product from the providers. It is committed to being converted 1:1. A key feature that reinforces LynKey’s commitment towards creating property and tourism markets to be more transparent and digitised, minimise legal procedures, and not be geographically restricted among the countries where Lynkey operates.

An exclusive event to introduce the NFT Marketplace

LynKey’s NFT marketplace harnesses all the potential that NFTs hold to transform entire industries. The company will hold an offline event in Vietnam to introduce its global tourism and real-estate NFT marketplace as it continues to expand its ecosystem. On 29th June 2022, the blockchain-centred platform will take its efforts to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The primary aim is to drive blockchain adoption and tokenize the Real Estate and Tourism industries, enabling greater user experience.

“The company is revolutionising the travel and entertainment space with smart tourism and an NFT marketplace for it. LynKey connects the global audience with a Blockchain-powered platform and a token that empowers an ecosystem for time-sharing, and reward solutions at premium luxury tourist spots. With a global token, and now an NFT marketplace, LynKey efficiently overcomes the need for intermediaries, empowering its users to explore the ecosystem that offers real-time solutions and, soon, also Metaverse experiences,” said Cindy Tran, LynKey’s Advisor.

• Dinis Guarda’s latest infographic displays how the Web 3.0 internet ecosystem, exploring the ways how techs like Digital Twins and Data intertwine to create a complete digital, metaverse human experience.  

• In one of the applications of Web 3.0, the digital world gets immersive by simulating the real world and making it interactive for the users. This is the Metaverse the world is talking about today.

Dinis Guarda Metaverse Infographic: Metaverse Web 3.0 Internet Ecosystem

With an accelerated rush by global corporations to establish themselves in the latest metaverse technology, the world is (knowingly or unknowingly) welcoming the advent of the Web 3.0 era with open arms. Dinis Guarda, founder and CEO of citiesabc, openbusinesscouncil and ztudium, has been exploring the realm since its inception. Contextualising the concepts in a new infographic, here’s how he explains the evolution of the internet to evolve into what we know as Web 3.0 and how it creates an ecosystem using blockchain technology for carving out the metaverse of our future.

Web 3.0: A decentralised version of the internet

The third generation of the Internet, popularly known as Web 3.0, is in its bare infancy. It is the iteration that shifts the control of the internet from centralized players to its builders and users.

But how does this work?

This control chain is orchestrated with the availability of tokens on the blockchain, a decentralised ledger system for digital transactions.

Does this mean we are ushering into a new era where creators, developers, businesses, and users are alike?

Yes, indeed. This is what we mean by decentralisation, Dinis explains.

According to him, Web 3.0 rose to popularity because of its inherent nature to leverage innovation with ownership. In other words, each participant gets property rights over a piece of the internet using tokens- both fungible and non-fungible (or NFTs).

But, that’s just one aspect of it.

Another distinguishing feature is adding an extra layer of security to the transactions with a feature called smart contracts.

Overall, this fixes the core problem of limited functionality in Web 1.0 and the centralised model of Web 2.0.

Dinis affirms that the new Web 3.0 will offer fresh ways to combine the best aspects of the previous eras and enhance them in a decentralised manner.

Referring to his vision of Web 3.0 ecosystem, the existence of digital twin means an individual has two identities- one that exists in the real world (the physical Id), and the other is in the virtual world (or the digital identity, or the avatar).

Now, how are the two worlds connected, let’s find out what Dinis Guarda thinks of this?

Metaverse: Interactivity between a variety of Web 3.0 applications

The Metaverse, as it stands today, is a variety of web 3.0 applications with various levels of interactivity and adoption. It is an immersive digital space that simulates the real world and focused on social connections among digital twins.

The data, available through technologies like cloud computing and blockchain, is collected and enabled with AI within the Web 3.0 ecosystem. This incentivises the creators and users to manage their personal data as they wish.

In other words, the decentralised nature of Web 3.0 offers better data ownership avenues for the users of the ecosystem.

“We are going through a paradigm shift where ownership transforms itself from the real world to the digital world, the metaverse, that encompasses this promise of ownership.”, says Dinis Guarda (title). According to him, “This is not a new concept. However, with NFTs and the blockchain gaining traction, we are going to see a lot of builders and creators innovating across the multitudes of the digital world.” 

The Metaverse Revolution: 10 Industries That Will Change

The digital world, hereafter…

Over time, these multiverses might progress towards complete decentralisation, opening fresh avenues for newer platforms, and outdating the traditional ones. Dinis concludes that while Metaverse and Web 3.0 are still evolving, data interoperability, data ownership, and parallel multiverses are some of the budding fruits in this garden of the digital realm.
