„Are you ready to explore the cutting-edge technologies that are shaping Metaverse? Even if ChatGPT and Generative AI waves submerged Metaverse hype, the techs behind Metaverse, such as Web3, Digitalized Asset, and Immersive Xperience still continue to attract and bring value in new use-cases.” says Guillaume Lefebvre.
After one year virtual pilot project, Worldline launches the new shopping mall in Decentraland on March 8th with the first 9 stores, including the German direct bank Consorsbank, The Chedi Andermatt, a Swiss luxury hotel, and Naked Life, a non-alcoholic spirits brand from Australia. This white-label solution is suitable for any company developing a Metaverse strategy and looking for a cost-effective way to get started.
Worldline believe that the Metaverse, alongside stationary point of sale and e-commerce, is the sales channel of the future. The decision to open the Worldline Shopping Mall reflects this vision.
McKinsey estimates the global market volume of Metaverse commerce between 2 and 2.6 trillion US dollars by 2030.
