Metaverse is the biggest technology revolution since the advent of the web.

The token concept, known as NFT, opens the way for a new gaming model called Play-To-Earn allowing players to earn money by playing, contrary to the classic Pay-To-Win model.
Major gaming and gambling market leaders are already investing in the Metaverse with concrete value propositions.

Blockchain Technologies: from Bitcoin to Ethereum and others (Theory and practice)
When and Where:
13 JUL 2022, 17:30 ON-LINE
What is it about?
Blockchain technologies are used by developers more frequently nowadays, since Web 3.0 is becoming a reality: decentralization and token-based economics are the core concepts of the new iteration of the Word Wide Web.
Decentralization means that there is no central authority governing the operations of a platform: blockchain technologies and communities provide a form of self-governance.
Token-based economics is a completely new way of doing economics that is not controlled by a single entity and is much more secure; also, it’s beneficial for the Content Creators, in fact it’s part of what is known as “The New Creator Economy”. NFTs, Cryptocurrencies, Metaverses are examples of the many possibilities that exist thanks to the underlying Blockchain Technology (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.).
