Bao-sized Web3 news highlights
GM Baos,
In today’s newsletter we’re covering a bunch of bao-sized news!
Treat yourself with an expensive cup of coffee… or a Starbucks Frappuccino and let’s dive into this dumpling.
Bao-sized highlights
Formula One tickets
A new NFT ticketing platform was tested it at last weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix in partnership with Elemint (a blockchain infrastructure company), Bary (a Web3 firm) and Platinum Group (the largest ticket operator for F1 Grand Prix events).
Digital collectables were offered on Polygon as tickets to the F1 event. These NFTs not only serve as a ticket to the event but also provide utility after the event, like discounts on future races 👀
Mercedes-Benz NFTs
Last week, Mercedes-Benz NXT gave us insight into the first three core collections of Mercedes-Benz NXT ✨

We’re proud to announce our upcoming Studio project, Maschine by @harmvddorpel, in collaboration with @MercedesBenzNXT! The collection will be released on June 7 at 12 PM ET.
Here’s all you need to know.
