As part of the organizers’ efforts to allow participants to experience each project’s technology first-hand, offline attendees will receive an NFT issued by Lemonade. This NFT will be a special SoulBound Token (SBT) to commemorate the event, and is non-transferable. The venue will be announced to all participants by email. Due to an exceptionally high demand, event passes will be issued via lottery rather than on a first-come first-served basis.
Online participants will receive an NFT pass issued by Snickerdoodle Labs to attend Demo Day staged in the COSMIZE Metaverse, who will also be showcasing their technology as candidates of the Web3 incubation program. Event organizers will distribute NFT passes issued by Snickerdoodle Labs.
For this Incubation Program, Web3 startups from around the world were invited to participate, irrespective of the phase of their development. After Sony Network Communications and Astar considered the suitability of each of the startups in terms of their technology, team, and product appeal, 19 projects out of over 200 applications were carefully selected to become part of the incubation program.
Astar Network founder Sota Watanabe commented, “These top teams launched on Astar are ready to build Web3 solutions with Sony Network Communications. Demo Day will be the space for passionate groups to connect in Japan and grow their Web3 vision.”
Throughout the program, participants benefit from the learning sessions led by global venture capitalists and successful Web3 companies, business and technology development strategies through mentoring, and access Sony Network Communications’ extensive resources for collaboration and support. There will also be opportunities to interact directly with the program candidates, both online and offline.
