The Hyundai NFT Universe, according to Hyundai Motor, will expand the Hyundai brand experience in a completely new way, further confirming the company’s dedication to innovation in both the real world and the metaverse; and this journey is being kicked off with Meta Kongz.
As part of this innovation, while inviting people to this exciting development, Hyundai stated on their official website:
“This world will be unlike anything you’ve encountered before, where mobility connects and revolves around you for new mobility experiences. We’re inviting you as our first guests to this wondrous world full of imagination.”
Many firms today, particularly large ones like Facebook, Microsoft, and Alibaba, are venturing into the field, mostly with the goal of letting people overcome physical restrictions of movement in time and place.
