- Sola has opened a physical space in New York called Solana Spaces, a place that will serve as an educational space to attract new members to the crypto community.
- The firm seeks the Spaces to be cultural centers, Solana embassies, spaces to host events, a launch pad and a provider of Solana culture.
Solarium moves and drives in the virtual world. The blockchain appears as one of the main competitors of Ethereum and its token (SOL) is among the 10 largest by market capitalization, with almost $15 billion dollars
However, this great platform of the digital world took a step into the “real world” in New York, opening its first “physical store”, far from the metaverse, in the Big Apple. Items related to cryptocurrency will be sold there. The store is in The Shops, a luxury shopping center in Hudson Yard (Manhattan) and opened on Thursday, July 28.
“Spaces is everyone’s first crypto friend. Inside, you will learn how Solana works, what is Web3. We will set up a wallet and your first NFTs for you and guide you through your first on-chain transactions”Solana highlighted on Twitter, where she has 1.9 million followers.
Solana Spaces, a cultural center
The general director of Solana Spaces, Vibhu Norby, assured that the objective of opening this store is “to educate people about cryptocurrencies and embark new participants” to the challenges proposed by digital assets, and added:
“Visitors will find a variety of tutorials, programming, and experiences for newcomers to the crypto world, often offering unique rewards for participating.”
One of the biggest novelties that this space will have is that it will have an NFT gallery with the Degenerate Apes Academy collection. Monkeys are trending among non-fungible tokens: Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), created by YugaLabs, is the world’s largest and most valuable collection.
“We have designed Spaces to be cultural centers, Solana embassies. We will be an event host, launchpad, and purveyor of the Solana culture, including a new set of merchandise and frequent limited-edition collaborations with brands inside and outside of crypto. It will be an experiment that we think a lot of people will like”, Norby highlighted as published CryptoSlate.
Activities
Newbies (and not-so-newbies) will be able to learn how to set up their Phantom wallets as well as educate themselves on some of Solana’s biggest platforms like STEPN (GameFi) and Magic Eden (Marketplace NFT).
In turn, visitors will be able to enjoy a demo of Solana Saga, “a cryptocurrency-enabled mobile phone that the blockchain network plans to launch next year.”
Solana is one of the most promising networks on the market, although far from being an Ethereum killer. Its token is valued at the time of writing in the range of $43 USD: the maximum peak occurred in November 2021 when it reached $260 USD.
Solana is real, and it has never been said better…
