Amazon is bullish on NFTs ✨

Amazon's NFT marketplace, Gordon Ramsay in the metaverse, and the Uniswap wallet

March 08, 2023

GM Baos,

Is anyone else wondering why ETH has hardly moved? 😭

Today we cover:

An NFT marketplace by Amazon
Gordon Ramsay in the Metaverse
Uniswap's wallet 🦄✨

Amazon NFT marketplace?

An NFT marketplace by Amazon is supposedly launching April 24th 😱

What we know so far:

Initially it will only be available in the U.S. and accessed through the "Amazon Digital Marketplace" tab
There will be 15 collections at launch that can be bought using a credit card (no crypto)
It's rumored you'll be able to buy NFTs tied to IRL items
The marketplace will focus on blockchain gaming

SCOOP: Amazon NFTs will be tied to real-world assets, token may be incoming.

Everyone is excited for Amazon's NFT marketplace because the marketplaces by Coinbase, GameStop, Reddit, etc... haven't onboarded a significant amount of users to web3. Will having millions of Amazon customers exposed to NFTs change this? Let us know your thoughts! 💙

If cooking isn't your thing IRL, maybe you'll enjoy it in the Metaverse 😉. The Sandbox partnered with ITV Studios last year to create a Hell's Kitchen Metaverse experience. When it launches, it will become the first cooking themed game in The Sandbox.

Uniswap mobile wallet 🦄

Does MetaMask mobile not work half the time — or is it just for me? I'd be more than happy to use something else, but sadly nothing beats MetaMask. Until...

*Uniswap enters the chat*

Happy NFTuesday—here’s a sneak peak at NFTs in the Uniswap mobile wallet 😆
Full collection pages, real-time updates, and finally a home for your NFTs that looks just as good as the art you’re collecting (well almost 😉)

Uniswap released early access to its new mobile wallet on IOS.

Here's what early access means:

Easily switch between ETH, Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism
Discover tokens by market cap, price charts and volume
Add tokens and wallet addresses to your favorites
WalletConnect support
Backup your private key w/ Apple iCloud
Get mobile push notifications

In a blog post, Uniswap said Apple approved their first build in October, but then rejected it in December, and will not give them a reason why. This is a reason why they decided to roll out the wallet to Apple Testflight users, while we wait for the green- light 🥺

"We like Apple products — that's why we built our wallet for IOS. But this experience has reminded us why we got into building open, accessible technology in the first place".
