Amsterdam, NL - June 15th 2021 - Azerion, the digital entertainment and media platform, today announced that Habbo will be partnering with popular blockchain brand CyberKongz. This partnership, announced during the MET AMS Metaverse festival, is the second that Habbo has undertaken in recent weeks as it increases the utility of NFTs within Habbo hotels. This was announced as Azerion presented at the MET AMS festival in Amsterdam (running 14th-17th June) where they are introducing the newest developments at their booth, as they continue to pioneer their corner of the Web3 metaverse. Additionally, industry leader Mika Timonen, NFT Director, gave a keynote presentation at the conference on the use of NFTs in Habbo in increasing interoperability in Web3.0.
CyberKongz NFT holders will be able to unlock unique in-game collectibles including clothing, badges and furniture to decorate their hotel rooms (as well as bespoke speech bubbles and effects in a future Habbo update) by connecting their crypto wallets to their Habbo account. These items will be exclusively owned and tied to owning CyberKongz NFTs, allowing owners to show off their collections in Habbo and feel connected to the wider NFT community. Habbo will also create a decorative community room for the collaborations as a social hub for the collection.
“We are so excited to bring the CyberKongz community to Habbo,” said Mika Timonen, NFT Director. ”CyberKongz is one of my favorite projects and is the perfect project to help kick off our collaborations.”
“Habbo Hotel is one of the OG projects back from the early Web2 days and I vividly remember playing it as a kid... Witnessing brands like them harnessing the power of NFTs and Web3 is truly inspiring and a match made in heaven! We are super proud and excited to collaborate with such an amazing project!” said myoo, founder of CyberKongz.
