who's ready to jam out in the metaverse? 🎶

GM Baos,

It sucks the weekend is over but guess what, WE'RE IN YOUR EARS AGAIN ALL WEEK BABY.

Today we cover:

• The NFL enters the metaverse 🏈

• Why is everyone going private? 😭

• Cool Cats' rebrand

Saweetie is tap tap tap- ing into the metaverse 

One year and two black swan events later, we're still seeing web3 incorporated into the NFL Superbowl event. Bullish 🔥

The NFL is teaming up with Gamefan to bring us the first virtual Super Bowl concert, sponsored by Intuit. Saweetie (a Warner Music Group artist) will headline the concert and perform hit songs like "Tap In". The intention is to promote the message of female empowerment while celebrating Super Bowl LVII.

"I'm really excited to bring this iconic moment to the metaverse and share my music with a whole new audience in such a unique way!" — Saweetie

Where can you watch? In Roblox's Rhythm City — WMG's new social roleplay experience available February 4th. 

Elon Musk went private... for a day 

Do we actually need to go private?

... or is everyone just engagement farming? 

It started when Elon Musk tweeted he was making his account private to test if those tweets are seen more. Then everyone else started doing it too 🥴

Anon, did you go private?

Cool Cats are multi-chain 🐱

The Cool Cats rebranded. In a Town Hall streamed on YouTube, Cool Cats co- founders/Head of Content/CEO went into detail on how Cool Cats is pivoting to become the leading entertainment brand. They're building a global brand that aims to entertain multiple generations...

And become more than an NFT project 👏

TLDR to the Town Hall ⬇️

• Cool Cats and Cool Pets holders will be airdropped Fracture NFTs, which are "dynamic NFTs that enable a new storytelling experience via digital collectables".

• They want their content to be written for an older audience. Similar to adult- centric: The Simpsons, Rick and Morty, and Family Guy.

• There will be monthly Town Hall's (regular updates), a lot of time went into their new logo/color palette, redesigning the website was important to them and will serve as a Cool Cats hub.

• Explorers NFTs features: full body customization, chain agnostic/ multi- platform, community generated assets, and a lower barrier to entry.
