The LVMH-owned company will transform its CryptoPunk NFTs into wearable gold pendants, which will be available for sale from August 5th.

Each item will cost 30 ether, approximately 50,000 dollars, where users will receive their unique NFT on the etherium blockchain directly after purchase and in 2023 be sent the physical jewellery.

Each gold pendant will contain about 30 precious stones, such as blue sapphires or violet amethysts, with Tiffany designing 87 attributes and 159 colors that appear across the collection of 10,000 CryptoPunk NFTs to the most similar gemstone or enamel color.

Tiffany said it would send a render to clients of the actual piece by October, although customisation or special requests are not possible.

In a Tweet Tiffany stated “We’re taking NFTs to the next level. Exclusive to CryptoPunks holders, NFTiff transforms your NFT into a bespoke pendant handcrafted by Tiffany & Co. artisans.”

LCI Barcelona has adapted to the metaverse, an integrated network of 3D virtual worlds, by specialising in areas of innovation and technology to create more design and development bachelor and master degrees.

As the metaverse develops, virtual reality (VR) games are increasingly being implemented in new products. This sector is expected to exceed 2,000 million euros in turnover in Spain alone in 2023, according to a press release.

To meet the demands of this growing sector, LCI Barcelona has increased its options of degrees so that there are more qualified professionals ready to take on the niche work after graduation.

David Carretero, head of the animation and videogames area at LCI Barcelona, said in a statement: “It is a sector that has been growing in recent years, breaking down age barriers” and that “it will not stop growing in the nearest future both due to the evolution of technology and the variety of brands that are developing products in this sector.

“Just as technology evolves, the education of students also has to change. The development of video games and animation has always seemed like something very distant, but this hobby exists for people,, and the passion for knowing how these games can be developed, now with an interest in virtual reality, is growing.”

‘Blockchain gamers have the same potential as YouTube streamers, TikTok/Instagram influencers’

GuardianLink, has joined forces with gaming hub IndiGG, the Sub-DAO of Yield Guild Games (YGG), to build and promote the Web3 gaming ecosystem in South Asia. Guardian Link has famously been associated with supporting artists like Stan Lee and Amitabh Bacchan by managing their NFT sales.

GuardianLink, together with gaming partner IndiGG and its user base of 65,000 online gamers, is on a mission to help gamers monetize their virtual gaming skills.

IndiGG has made a significant investment in purchasing NFTs from GuardianLink and will lease them out to its community members to encourage them to play the NFT cricket game, win matches, and stand a chance to earn exciting rewards.

"Like YouTube streamers or TikTok/Instagram influencers, blockchain gaming has all the potential to become a dependable source of earning in the gig-economy era, if not for a full-time career. We strongly believe that NFT has the power to revolutionize the online gaming ecosystem in Asia," said Kameshwaran Elangovan, co-founder and COO of GuardianLink.

Meta-Tip: Blockchain is a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a business network. An asset can be tangible (a house, car, cash, land) or intangible (intellectual property, patents, copyrights, branding).

What is the main purpose of blockchain? The goal of blockchain is to allow digital information to be recorded and distributed, but not edited. In this way, a blockchain is the foundation for immutable ledgers, or records of transactions that cannot be altered, deleted, or destroyed.
