The companies are not just working towards curating virtual luxury apparel, they’re also launching an in-game Balenciaga-themed hub for real-world clothing lines that anyone can buy.

LynKey – Offering Smart Luxury Resorts, Tourism & Real-Estate
LynKey, a blockchain-powered platform, is all set to tokenise $8 Billion in the premium real-estate, travel, and tourism industry. The aim is to deliver a luxury experience worldwide by unleashing the power of blockchain.

Metaverse – The Old But Unexplored Gold
Even though the term Metaverse was first coined in 1992, the true potential of this revolutionary technology is yet to be discovered. Of course, the world is still years away from unleashing its true potential, but until then, Metaverse will require billions and trillions of dollars in investment. And there’s not even a shred of doubt that if the world of Metaverse continues to expand at this pace, you’re looking at a second reality world.
So before that happens, hop on the Metaverse train and get familiarised with this new reality world. This is where LynKey comes into play. This blockchain-powered platform can help you unleash the powers of smart contracts, timeshare, NFTs, and Metaverse. By tokenising the real-estate and travel industry, LynKey aims to transform the way people travel and invest in properties.
