Photography NFTs are opening new doors for creators, providing alternative ways to expand their creative capabilities, verify the authenticity of photos, and to monetize their work.
OK CASHBAG, Korea's rewards program by SK Planet, serves almost half of the country’s population.
Since the UPTN Subnet launched on June 6 on #Avalanche, over 100k KYC'd users have been onboarded!
For them, the advantages of blockchain are numerous 👇
Through UPTN, SK Planet built @road2rich_nft, a Web3 version of OK CASHBAG that allows users to design their own benefits by combining Character and TEM NFTs.
The TEM NFTs determine how users are rewarded by the service's 130 partner companies--and can be traded on the market.
Road to Rich is also a game, featuring Racky, a character NFT who can be leveled up through quizzes, mini-games, and more.
Progressing through the game awards users OK CASHBAG points and even Hawaiian travel vouchers.

Events ticketing platform @nft_tix announced they are exclusively using Avalanche to power their NFT ticket offerings, along with new global festival partnerships!
Let’s dive into why NFT-TiX made the move and why the future of NFT ticketing lives on #Avalanche 🧵
NFT-TiX is making their home on Avalanche for two primary reasons:
1️⃣ Address major challenges plaguing the general ticketing industry
2️⃣ Build on a platform technically capable of handling NFT transactions at scale
Ticketing Industry Challenges
By putting event tickets on the blockchain, @nft_tix ensures that tickets are truly owned by attendees, enabling easy transfer and sale. Every transaction is recorded on a public ledger, providing transparency and preventing manipulation 🙏
Today, @alibaba_cloud announced that they are entering the metaverse--on Avalanche!
With Cloudverse, Alibaba Cloud's millions of clients can easily deploy custom metaverses and unlock new dimensions for consumers.
#Avalanche will provide all blockchain elements for Cloudverse👇
Built on @alibaba_cloud's efficient and secure cloud offerings, Cloudverse gives businesses an easy, white-glove, and cost-effective way to expand their brands to the Web3 virtual world. avax.network/blog/alibaba-c…
This launch represents the next step in the ongoing relationship between #Avalanche and @alibaba_cloud--which began in December 2022 with their infrastructure as a service (IaaS) offering that allows app developers to spin up Avalanche validator nodes through the service.
How can the flexibility of Subnets drive further interoperability in crypto?
Landslide is a great example, leveraging the customization of Subnets and Avalanche Warp Messaging to connect Avalanche and Cosmos.
Check out this week’s Developer Spotlight ft. @CosmosAVAX 👇
The flexibility of Subnets with the open-ended possibilities for VM customization are integral to Landslide, because it allows apps to run the Cosmos SDK natively on Avalanche.
Builders will then get to take advantage of the speed in which transactions finalize on Avalanche 💪
“Avalanche has done a very good job at being as open as possible to interoperability. Why is Avalanche the place for interop? Because the tech is better. Interoperability will naturally happen at the nexus where the tech is safe and fast – and that’s Avalanche.”
