Highstreet Redefines Metaverse Life via Home Sales with Animoca Brands | NFT CULTURE | NFTs and Crypto Art
VANCOUVER, AUGUST 1, 2022 — Highstreet World, the leading retail-focused metaverse being built as an MMORPG, is partnering with Animoca Brands for an “Initial Home Offering” (IHO) of 5,000 futuristic off-road trailers. These homes will be available for purchase by Highstreet users and mark the next step in Highstreet World’s creation of its metaverse, furthering the vision of bringing together the stories and adventures of traditional brands and Web3 ecosystems that form the foundation of the future of commerce.
IHO also marks the unveiling of the Animoca Archipelago, a region of Highstreet World that features deep integrations with games from Animoca Brands’ ecosystem as well as an esports league, introducing new ways to be part of a large, connected player community. In addition, this strategic partnership opens up new opportunities to significantly expand Highstreet World by integrating with Animoca Brands’ portfolio companies. This will encourage adoption and participation in the metaverse of Highstreet World as more features are developed.
- The residences will exist in the Highstreet World metaverse’s Animoca Archipelago, where Animoca Brands’ IP will take center stage, turning the island chain into an immersive theme park.
- This strategic partnership leads to various opportunities for adoption and integration involving Animoca Brands’ various portfolio companies.
- Other Web3 regions in Highstreet World include Binance Beach, AVAX Alps and Everyrealm, with more regions powered by traditional brands to be announced soon.
Whitelisting for the upcoming IHO will begin in August 2022. The official minting process will take place through Highstreet’s own marketplace. Participation details will be announced via Highstreet’s social media feeds at Twitter, Telegram and Discord. Highstreet World is at the forefront of developing user elements for meta-living, where anyone, anywhere can become part of a diverse, creative metaverse community in Highstreet’s shared virtual environment.
“We are committed to a metaverse that is open and interoperable,” said Yat Siu, co-founder and chairman of Animoca Brands. “Highstreet is an exciting investment for us because it brings together brands from both the Web3 and traditional online worlds, allowing assets to flow between them. We look forward to making the Animoca Archipelago at Highstreet World a virtual destination where our diverse communities and many others can come together in one place.”
This IHO with Animoca Brands follows a previous sale on the Binance NFT marketplace, where the total trading volume exceeded USD 10 million, with a minimum of 250% of the coin price. The homes for sale will be part of the Highstreet World metaverse, which is made up of regions with unique characteristics. One of these regions is the Animoca Archipelago, an island chain off the coast of Highstreet World’s main continent of Solera. The Animoca Archipelago consists of a network of islands, each representing a brand or game that is part of Animoca Brands or that Animoca Brands has invested in. These include REVV Motorsport, LayerZero, ApeCoin, PSG Talon and various other projects.
“Animoca Archipelago is a place where many universes shaped by games, brands and IP exist in harmony,” said Travis Wu, CEO of Highstreet. “Models and assets from other projects will work within this huge space, where users can interact with each other in new ways. Equally important, Highstreet World participants will be able to collect experience points by defeating monsters in the archipelago, ultimately opening up new possibilities in their gameplay as they level up.”
