Art NFT : First Web3 customer for Baccana Monaco

After months of studying and learning about Web3 and the world of Blockchain and NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens), Baccana Digital Consulting has finally taken the plunge to offer a support service in the creation of NFT from Monaco for a globalized community.

Remember that an NFT can be bought, resold, passed on, collected. Most commonly, the most widely cryptocurrency used in NFTs is Ethereum.

The service is intended to be didactic and complete with:

  • NFT Strategy and Consulting : It is indeed essential to plan your marketing and communication strategy upstream and to adapt NFTs according to their use and the community they will reach.
  • Visual creation & Development : The artists we work with are used to managing large-scale projects. Your NFT will be deployed on personalized smart contracts, created by us and adapted to each project. We can also manage existing works and digitize them in the most suitable format.
  • Promotion & Launch : We are able to reach the communities targeted by the NFT (art, fashion, education, foundations, real estate, travel). Additionally, we seek to educate the public so that our clients can reach a wider audience.

Interesting impact NFT campaigns for brands

As we have brought to the attention of our readers over the past few months, many brands have already taken advantage of NFTs to rejuvenate, support and even completely renew their marketing and brand strategies. To cite just a few examples, the sale of NFT coupled with physical products (Nike), charitable operations (Foundations), contests (Louis Vuitton), gifts, customer rewards, community involvement, image benefits, all of which sure with substantial press coverage.

The fallout spreads out into the adjacent Metaverses. Remember that the Metaverses are virtual and parallel worlds in which many brands open showrooms, organize commercial events (such as a Fashion Week organized by Tommy Hilfiger), cultural or charitable events, in a largely gamified environment for the most part.

Does developing an NFT strategy make sense for your brand ?

This is where our advisory and strategy services come in. We cover with you the following points to assess your Web3 maturity:

  • Boost and rejuvenate your brand : Are you looking to strengthen ties with your customers, business partners, and employees?  Are you in the process of creating new relationships with your brand and your company ? Are you already targeting a young clientele ? How ?

We launch our first NFT client in the art trade

Between all the Web3, NFT and Metaverse subjects that we have in the making in Monaco and elsewhere, we helped our client Denis Ribas to make his NFT debut. Denis is an internationally renowned painter, who was also looking to explore new modern ways to make his art better known.

With him, we have defined an evolving strategy for creating NFTs by collections that will enhance his Opensea profile over time.

This painter who paints only outdoors with brushes and oil paint, has embarked on the digitization of some of his works in order to invest a sphere that is distant to him and yet so close when you take into account his energy and his openness to the world.

We are really honored that he is the first to dabble in blockchain from our offices in Monaco. To discover his first NFTs from his nascent collection on Opensea, we invite you to follow this link : Denis Ribas’ Colection on Opensea

Official partner and Ambassador of the educational Metaverse

Monaco, October 11th 2022 – Baccana Digital Consulting, digital consulting and digital services company in Monaco, with its CEO, Chris Clavel, active member of the Monaco Economic Board, entrepreneur and business angel, are now  business partners, consultants and official ambassadors of the educational Metaverse, the Winkyverse, launched by Mainbot.

As a Monegasque ESN working in the Principality and abroad, and with the support of its international network of clients and contacts, Baccana Digital Consulting will help promote the Winkyverse, the world’s first educational and gamified Metaverse, supported by The Sandbox and built on Ultra, an ethical gaming blockchain.

Baccana Digital Consulting will assist Mainbot in developing the business community of this one-of-a-kind Metaverse with companies, major brands, and NGOs in Monaco and around the world, in order to support them in the Web 3.0 adventure.

Baccana Digital Consulting will thus allow these brands to gain a foothold in an immersive universe, carrying strong values and offering a wide range of entertaining content focused on specific learnings for each type of audience: adults, children and families.

Promoters of disruptive and inclusive technologies, Baccana and Chris Clavel will lead a series of exciting projects that will demonstrate the power and potential of the Winkyverse, gaming, and educational Metaverse ecosystem.

The Winkyverse is the utopian Metaverse where humans live in harmony with nature, populated by iconic Ecobots and Animal Cities – gigantic versions of real-world animals carrying entire communities on their backs – all with total respect for the environment, quality that sets it apart from other platforms.

This partnership will encourage innovation and sustainability in the sector, allowing the most innovative brands to launch serenely into the Metaverse to develop their communities, and to reach their youngest fans around the world thanks to Web 3.0, all with the support of Baccana Monaco and Mainboat.

Being the first educational and ethical gaming metaverse for brands, the Winkyverse will benefit from Baccana Monaco’s vast experience and working relationships with city states and VIPs, to evangelize the use of NFTs, Blockchain and Metaverse; all in order to imagine fun and educational experiences for as many people as possible, while creating new communication and revenue channels for these brands.

About Mainbot and the Winkyverse

Born at Ecole Polytechnique (the best engineering school in France) in 2017, Mainbot was created with one main objective in mind: to take advantage of new technologies to improve children’s education and prepare them for the future.

Its initial product, an educational and evolving robot called Winky, is already used daily by thousands of families across Europe, to teach children aged 5 to 12 about robotics, programming and artificial intelligence.

In 2021, Mainbot and its CEO, Boris Kesler, saw a unique opportunity to take education to a new level by breaking down the barriers between digital and physical, virtual and real life. The company then announced that it would begin work on the Winkyverse, the world’s first educational gamified Metaverse, powered by its own digital currency, Winkies ($WNK). An ICO at the end of the year succeeded in raising €24.5 million to support the project.

In the wake of spring 2022, a first series of around 11,000 unique NFTs, Winkybots, raised an additional €2.5 million.

Finally, at the end of September 2022, a first round of lands’ sales reserved for holders of Winkybots NFTs was successfully launched.

In the near future, at the beginning of 2023, the first NFT games will take place on the Winkyverse.

The first-time investors on the Winkyverse are prestigiously known, such as The Sandbox (a leader and precursor of the Metaverse), Alantra (an international investment bank which recently worked on the acquisition of RTFKT by Nike), CNRS, and the Ecole Polytechnique among others.

The board of Advisors is just as impressive with Sébastien Borget (co-founder of The Sandbox), Deborah Elalouf-Lewiner (co-founder of Edtech), Nicolas Gilot (CEO of Ultra) as well as former directors of Mattel, Disney, Aldebaran Robotics or even Pokemon International.

To date, the development team of the Winkyverse, installed in the heights of the Montparnasse Tower in Paris, has a hundred employees recruited for the most part from gaming leaders such as Blizzard, Ubisoft or Gameloft.

In the spring of 2023, Mainbot will launch a new substantial fundraiser to accelerate the development of the Winkyverse even more.
