Web 3.0 x NFT

Currently, NFTs, or so-called Profile Pictures (PFPs), used as icons on social networking sites, etc., are gaining ground. Popular PFPs are traded at high prices and have value as an asset. The utility of PFPs is also attracting attention, such as the ability to participate in exclusive events by owning a particular PFP.

Various unique PFP projects are currently being launched in Japan.

We spoke with Akim, the founder of Verilong, about industry trends and Verilong's future development.
