Flybondi, an Argentine low-cost airline, has become the first airline to issue every ticket as a non-fungible token (NFT), in partnership with TravelX, a blockchain-based travel platform. The NFTs are generated upon booking and are stored in the traveler's Flybondi account, providing a personalized and secure way to travel.

The partnership also provides a secondary market where travelers can sell their NFT tickets, with both FlyBondi and TravelX receiving a 2% fee from the transaction. This move may lead to a new era of digital ticketing and blockchain-powered travel experiences, attracting tech-savvy, environmentally conscious, and security-minded customers. It remains to be seen whether other airlines will adopt NFT ticketing.

Indonesia's Deputy of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy has partnered with Quantum Temple to preserve the country's cultural heritage with the use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Quantum Temple has created a multichain NFT marketplace, working closely with Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy to tokenize cultural heritage as unique digital assets.

By tokenizing cultural heritage, three critical areas of value are created: immutable archives of culture, transparent alternative income streams through royalties, verified provenance, and recognition for cultural creators. Quantum Temple has launched its "Paths to Alangö" NFT collection, which includes 11 unique NFTs that represent different aspects of Balinese cultural heritage. However, regulatory and technical challenges may hamper adoption of tokenized digital assets as a solution for preserving important information in Indonesia.

Major League Baseball is partnering with Candy Digital, an NFT startup, for the release of new digital collectibles for the 2023 season. Candy Digital faced several challenges in 2022 but remains an official MLB partner. In addition to its partnership with MLB, Candy has forged partnerships with other sports organizations, including NASCAR teams, WWE, and Getty Images. The Candy firm ran into issues and laid off over one-third of its employees in November 2021, but Candy Digital CEO Scott Lawin confirmed that Fanatics remains a company investor. Candy's new MLB Showstopper ICON series has sold out in about three minutes, and Candy's commemorative game tickets will continue to be available this season. Lawin expects that NFT collectible tickets could eventually offer access to events, as well as a dynamic digital asset for teams to use. Candy's MLB collectibles are minted on Palm, an Ethereum sidechain built for NFTs. Candy Digital is an official NFT partner of MLB and works with other NFT startups, including Dapper Labs and Sorare. While they are competitors with a shared MLB license, Candy and Sorare may cooperate in the future for the benefit of collectors and fans.

Art Blocks, a blockchain-based generative art platform with over $1.4 billion worth of secondary market NFT sales, has launched its own secondary marketplace integrated within its website. The marketplace allows users to browse NFTs listed natively or aggregated from other platforms, honoring artists' specified creator royalty settings and providing a secure, scam-free platform while taking no platform fee. The marketplace launch coincidentally aligns with a declining trend of creator royalties in Ethereum NFT marketplaces, a trend Art Blocks has opposed. The marketplace aims to provide a hub for artists to showcase their work and provide incentives for collectors who pay royalties, with potential future opportunities to empower creators with control over their creations.

Pranksy, a well-known personality in the NFT space, has partnered with Sorare, the leading Web3 sports card game, to create "Pranksy Plays". The collector has invested in Sorare football cards and will invite his community to join private leagues, with prizes for the winners including NFTs from the Pranksy vault and VIP Premier League tickets. One league will allow only free-to-play cards, while the other will require Super Rare or Unique cards.

Pranksy and his team invested in Sorare cards focusing on Super Rare players under the age of 23. Sorare is the most popular fantasy sports game on the blockchain, with around 200,000 daily active players worldwide. It brings the concept of Fantasy Leagues to the blockchain, allowing participants to earn points based on the real performances of players. This partnership could help Sorare attract NFT collectors from Pranksy's community, while Pranksy could reach sports fans not familiar with NFTs.

Tommy Hilfiger is launching a multi-metaverse hub that will premiere during Metaverse Fashion Week. The hub will bring together key metaverse destinations, including Decentraland, Roblox, Spatial, DressX, and Ready Player Me, and will allow the brand to see how users respond when they can access the same brand across different platforms.

The hub will be structured to look like the brand’s TH monogram, designed by virtual retail tech developer Emperia, and includes in-hub offerings like POAPs and other NFTs to collect, DressX-powered digital fashion, artwork from Web3 artist Vinnie Hager, AR virtual try-on offerings, a photobooth, and an AI fashion creation competition.

By making it accessible via Decentraland, the hub offers a less-daunting entrypoint into metaverse spaces. The hub also incorporates e-commerce capabilities, creating a direct link between the marketing element of metaverse projects and actual, physical (and digital) sales.

Brandon Riley, a CryptoPunk holder, accidentally sent his rare CryptoPunk #685 to a burn address while attempting to use NFT loan platform NFTfi.com. The mistake occurred during the wrapping process, which is necessary to use previously incompatible platforms with CryptoPunks. Wrapping involves interacting with the token on the contract level and can be challenging for those unfamiliar with how to interact with smart contracts.

Riley took immediate ownership of the mistake and warned others to be cautious when wrapping their CryptoPunks. Losing the Punk also meant that Riley lost a third of his net worth. The situation highlights the double-edged nature of blockchain technology, where eliminating middlemen also means accepting irreversible consequences. This dichotomy is the "beauty and curse of self-custody," according to Riley.

Gucci has entered a multi-year partnership with Yuga Labs, the web3 company behind several well-known NFT collections including Bored Ape Yacht Club, CryptoPunks, Meebits, and 10KTF, to explore the intersection between fashion and entertainment in the Metaverse. The collaboration will extend engagement between the two companies' communities, with Gucci set to participate in Otherside, Yuga Labs' Bored Ape-themed virtual world and game.

Gucci's senior EVP, Robert Triefus, said the company views web3 as a long-term opportunity for building community, encouraging customer loyalty, and generating revenue. Yuga Labs raised $450m at a valuation of $4bn last March and its NFT collections have gained significant popularity. The partnership is seen as a way for Gucci to extend its reach in the Metaverse while also experimenting with NFTs.
