Metaverse, meet SkunkDAO. 🦨🕹

Today, we’re thrilled to announce that SkunkDAO, the ecosystem incubator for Nahmii, has joined VRINN, a VR company cluster in Norway. This announcement coincides with our appearance at ETHDenver 2022 and the debut of DOTS, a paint-by-pixel NFT demo which marks our first foray into the metaverse.

Users will use NFT dots to paint on a 24x24 pixel grid. Once they are happy with their work, they can choose to mint an NFT of the entire picture, burning the NFT dots they used to create it. The experience is built entirely on Nahmii, allowing for a real-time, low-cost NFT minting experience from VR to the blockchain.

The vision of VRINN is “shaping the future of learning.” Their main goals are:

  • Securing the position of the future of learning
  • Creating the best ecosystem for commercialization of learning and training solutions
  • Being best at combining culture, storytelling, and tech

“We are excited to join VRINN, a cluster of companies operating in Norway in the fields of VR, AR, and gamification, and bring this experience to the market,” said Jacobo Toll-Messia, CEO and founder of Nahmii. “This partnership is another milestone for Nahmii. Virtual reality and the Metaverse connects users to the Web 3 ecosystem. With a VR headset, users can create unique NFTs anywhere in the Metaverse, and together with VRINN we will explore building commercial solutions for the Metaverse bringing the future of utility-based NFTs today.”

“We are happy to have SkunkDAO join our cluster, this will open up the possibilities to combine blockchain and XR together. With our members that have several years experience delivering for Healthcare, Education and Military we see now a possibility together to pioneer in a new Era.” — Keith Mellingen, VR/AR Director

Nahmii will have an interactive workshop at ETHDenver from February 17–20, located in the Denver Sports Castle. The layer 2 scaling solution and NFT marketplace will feature the newly created VR experience and a live demonstration.
