Dibbs are a home to some of the most iconic physical trading cards on the planet, across sports, Pokémon, comic books and more, enabling fractionalisation - aka they turn cards into many ownable pieces, so anyone can start building up their dream collection. All of this is powered by blockchain using fungible and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). On this episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, we chat to CEO - Evan Vandenberg all about how gigantic this market is, how we can bring rare physical collectibles into the digital world, how we rebuild trust in the NFT space and why Amazon invested in the company.  You don't need to know anything about trading cards to enjoy this episode, there's a wider conversation here about bringing the physical into the metaverse and the future trends that are coming.

Marc Charlton is the co-founder of DatesVR - a metaverse speed dating platform in virtual reality!  After meeting his fiance on virtual realty platform AltSpaceVR, Mark and his business partner set out to create the world's first VR speed dating event and community with DatesVR. Since then DatesVR has been covered by BBC Worldwide, BBC 5Live, The New York Post and more. On this week's episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, we dive into how the weekly DatesVR speed dating (and friend finder) events work and what dating in virtual reality is like.  For me, this seems like a massive potential use case that could onboard a lot of people. VR dating seems like a much better and more fun experience than traditional dating apps, which of course have been massively successful. A really fun episode, thanks Marc for coming on!

Described as the 'Nintendo of Web3' Cryptoys is reimagining what play looks like and recently partnered with one of the biggest names in the toy space Mattel - home to some of the most iconic toys ever including Masters of The Universe, Uno, Barbie, Hot Wheels and more.
