The NFT space has changed significantly since nft now first presented \u201cThe Gateway\u201d at Art Basel in 2021<\/a>. In just one year, influential brands have entered Web3<\/a>, several artists have risen to new prominence<\/a>, and blockchain-powered philanthropy<\/a> has entered the mainstream, exemplifying how novel NFT tech can make a serious and lasting impact on the world.<\/p>\n As Web3 continues to navigate the ups and downs of a volatile crypto market and potential global recession, we\u2019re constantly reminded that NFTs are about more than art or money<\/a>. In fact, the blockchain has grown past its salad-day limits as a niche internet microcosm, flourished into a cultural phenomenon, and become a hotbed for innovation<\/a>.<\/p>\n RSVP for your free ticket\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0to join \u201cThe Gateway: A Web3 Metropolis.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Now, as 2022 comes to a close, we have the opportunity to take a pause and reflect on the many feats of the NFT and Web3 communities. In keeping with the culture of prosperity and celebration created under the umbrella of non-fungibility, nft now has joined forces with\u00a0Mana Common<\/strong><\/a> for a MoonPay<\/strong><\/a>-powered event unlike any other. Over five days, nft now will take over two city blocks in Downtown Miami to unite Web3 and advocate for creative empowerment as we embark upon an inspiring new chapter, together.<\/p>\n Make no mistake, there will be a lot <\/em>to see at The Gateway from November 27 to December 3. Featuring immersive activations from Art Blocks<\/strong>, Christie\u2019s<\/strong>, Clone X<\/strong>, FaZe Clan<\/strong>, Instagram<\/strong>, Porsche<\/strong>, and many more, the five-day festival\u2019s installations and stages will grow through 12 buildings like living vines of the metaverse, intertwining to unite beneath a central nucleus.<\/p>\n Attendees will be met with a vast and vital collection of art taking both physical and digital forms \u2014 reflecting the malleable and adaptable nature of NFT spaces, and the artists who live in them. Throughout the week, The Gateway will undergo a continuous metamorphosis to offer guests amusement, entertainment, and high-value intel on the state of Web3, with food and drink abundantly available throughout the venue.<\/p>\n In addition to brand presence, more than 50<\/a> of the NFT community\u2019s finest artists, creators, and leaders will show up throughout The Gateway, including honorees from\u00a0The NFT 100<\/a>\u00a0and previous guests of our podcast. All this, in addition to a star-studded speaker lineup featuring notable community leaders like Gary Vaynerchuk, Keith A. Grossman, and Ethereum Co-Founder Joseph Lubin.<\/p>\n Of course, no NFT event would be complete without representation from the most influential collectors, which is why The Gateway will also feature collectors and builders like Gmoney, Farokh, RTFKT\u2019s Zaptio and ClegFX, and more. To get ahead of the curve, attendees can peruse The Gateway\u2019s full schedule here<\/a>, and re-familiarize themselves with the full lineup of artists and speakers here<\/a>.<\/p>\n In keeping with nft now\u2019s mission to help empower the creators of culture and drive mainstream adoption of NFTs, \u201cThe Gateway\u201d aims to bridge the comprehension gap, and further extend a welcome hand to those from all walks of life. Whether from the traditional art world, the finance sector, media, fashion, or anywhere throughout the metaverse, all are invited to celebrate how Web3 and NFTs are composing the next chapter of art history.<\/p>\n \nThe who\u2019s who of The Gateway<\/h2>\n
