Hello. I'm Web3BB Natsuko.
[Today's summit news]
Today, I was talking with the first speaker.
Recently, the number of web3 events has increased, but I heard that the same people are talking about the same things at every event.
At web3BB, we want to create a place where veterans and newcomers can talk as much as possible.
I'm looking forward to working on two exciting stories today! Thank you very much for your voice!

- Meta announces plans to deprecate NFT functionality
Meta will pursue fintech instead of NFTs, said Kastiel, the company's head of commerce and financial technology.
This may prevent NFT functionality from being available on Facebook and Instagram.
In May 2022, Meta will jointly develop the NFT platform with Polygon. Polygon reports that its efforts to allow users to mint and sell NFTs were still in the testing stage as of November 2022.
Twitter, on the other hand, continues to provide support for NFTs in the form of profile pictures (PFPs) and marketplace links. (original article)

Is there something like making something like that in your company and calling it by a name other than NFT? Recently, there seems to be an increase in the number of so-called digital collectives that function off-chain.
- Sesame Street launches first NFT with VeVe
The first NFT is Cookie Monster! The first drop is scheduled for March 19th on the VeVe Digital Collectibles app.
There is one Cookie Monster NFT collectible, with 5,555 editions sold, priced at $60 each. It is expected to be released later this year.
Founded in 2018, VeVe built a mobile-first digital collectible platform through which over 8 million NFTs have been sold to date. The company offers premium licensed collectibles from partner brands such as Disney, Marvel, DC Comics, Warner Bros. and Star Wars.
The program uses Immutable X, Ethereum's Layer 2 scaling protocol, which offers instant transaction confirmation, high scalability, zero gas fees, and a 99.9% reduction in "environmental footprint" compared to other technologies. It is said that it has been realized. (original article)
