The Rise of the WoW Foundation
In an exciting twist in the realms of NFTs and metaverses, The Sandbox has joined forces with the World of Women (WoW) community to introduce the WoW Foundation. With a generous grant of $25 million earmarked over the next five years, this partnership aims to amplify and enhance female representation in the ever-evolving world of Web3. Imagine a future where women not only participate but lead the charge in shaping digital realms – this foundation is a significant step towards that dream.
Fueling Female Representation
As a thriving collection of vibrant women sold on the Ethereum blockchain, WoW has a mission that goes beyond mere aesthetics. In their own words, they strive to “highlight and lift up as many female and underserved creators as possible, making the metaverse not just a landscape designed by men but rather one enriched with as much diversity of thought as possible.” Effectively, they are redefining who gets to play in the sandbox – and it’s about time!
Main Pillars of WoW Foundation
The foundation has laid down four essential pillars to guide its efforts:
- Uplift the Ecosystem: Funding projects that support female artists.
- Educate Newcomers: Providing resources and knowledge for those entering the space.
- Visibility for Causes: Highlighting women-centric issues and projects.
- Giving Back: Contributing to charities that make a difference.
With these ambitious goals, the WoW Foundation is set to radically change the landscape of the metaverse.
Interactive Experiences Await
The Sandbox and WoW have big plans on the horizon, including a range of interactive experiences designed to engage users. Some notable projects include:
- WoW Museum: A virtual exhibit meant to celebrate the artistry and stories of women.
- WoW University: Free online lessons to help newcomers navigate the world of Web3.
- The WoW Academy: A mentorship and funding incubator helping creatives make their mark.
A virtual landscape infused with creativity and support? Yes, please!
Aurora: The New Goddess of Sandbox
Adding a cherry on top, The Sandbox acquired a stunning WoW NFT named Aurora for a whopping 200 ETH. This majestic asset is now hailed as the “goddess” of The Sandbox. Furthermore, WoW is taking steps to voxelize all 10,000 NFTs so that the whole community can jump into the metaverse together. You could say the future looks bright – and a tad sparkly!
Broadening Horizons: More Than Just NFTs
WoW is not stopping at the metaverse and has plans that may soon see it branching into film, TV, and music, as tech investor Guy Oseary has recently added them to his impressive NFT portfolio. And let’s not forget, WoW NFT holders wield complete ownership and intellectual rights over their assets, following in the footsteps of groups like the Bored Ape Yacht Club. In terms of trading volume, both The Sandbox and WoW have distinguished themselves by breaking into the top 20 collections on OpenSea, with WoW amassing an astonishing 55,300 ETH and The Sandbox reaching a jaw-dropping 156,200 ETH in trades.
