This week, OpenSea introduced Deals, allowing NFT collectors to trade directly with one another and McDonald’s launched McNuggets Land in The Sandbox, inviting users to interact with pixelated nuggets and play mini-games. Meanwhile, metaverse startup Futureverse announced an impressive $54 million seed round, despite a 78% drop in venture capital funding for Web3.
OpenSea’s new Deals feature allows NFT collectors to trade directly with each other and add WETH to sweeten the deal. McDonald’s McNuggets Land in The Sandbox was a pixelated playground for users to interact with anthropomorphized nuggets and play mini-games.
On July 6, Meta released their Twitter-alternative, Threads, and it’s already handily passed 100 million downloads. One of the interesting promises of the new app is that it will support ActivityPub, a decentralized social media protocol, which means users will be able to interact with other platforms in the so-called fediverse like Mastodon and vice versa.
So what is the ActivityPub Protocol and what is the fediverse? ActivityPub is an open protocol for decentralized social media networks. It is based on the ActivityStreams 2.0 data format and is designed to allow users to interact with other platforms in the fediverse. The fediverse is a network of interconnected social media platforms that use ActivityPub to communicate with each other.
ActivityPub is a great way to create a decentralized social media network that is not controlled by any single entity. It allows users to interact with each other across different platforms, creating a more open and connected online experience.
