NFT Paris 2025 has concluded and Metagate has left an indelible mark in the jungle of Bored Apes! Our official side event, R.I.C.H. - Rich Human Connection, has transformed The Sandbox's ArtVerse into a true Web3 playground, where technology, art, and community have come together in an unprecedented immersive experience.
NFT in Mixed Reality: the Metagate innovation on Meta Quest 3
Metagate has brought Mixed Reality to the forefront with an exclusive app for Meta Quest 3, allowing participants to interact with their NFTs like never before. With just a few simple gestures, The Sandbox ofgital assets and personal NFT collections have become tangible, hangable, and placeable 3D experiences in real space. The highlight? The Bored Ape #911 from Burstlink, animated in 3D and AI-powered, with which visitors could speak directly in Mixed Reality!
🎨 Art in Mixed Reality: the works of Eka (Stare sul Pianeta A) and Emanuele Dascanio (the Ordinals L.I.B.E.R.T.A.S.) have come to life in a new dimension, giving participants the opportunity to interact with digital culture like never before.
📍 Mintable NFT Poap directly in Mixed Reality: an exclusive experience that allowed visitors to collect a unique piece of the event, directly from the headset.
An BAYC wave among swag, beers, and networking
The atmosphere was made even more engaging by the warmth of the Bored Ape Yacht Club community, which found in NFT Paris the perfect stage to express its energy and spirit of innovation. The strongest and most cohesive community encountered at NFT Paris was undoubtedly that of the Bored Apes: an overwhelming energy, a unique sense of belonging, and a desire to innovate that made the event even more memorable.
The Bored Apes present did not expect such a high level of engagement from Mixed Reality, and the wow effect was immediate!
🐵 "Seeing the Bee in Mixed Reality has been an amazing experience" - commented one of the participants, while testing the direct interaction with the AI-powered 3D model. The idea of being able to bring your Bored Apes out of the screen and interact with them as if they were real characters has opened new perspectives for the adoption of Web3 and its own NFTs (both at home and at events).
🔗 Interoperability and Web3 in action: the biggest surprise came when Metagate has shown in Mixed Reality the connection with The Sandbox directly in the headset. Testing the experience firsthand was Sébastien Borget, co-founder of The Sandbox, who expressed enthusiasm in seeing how NFTs and Web3 can make digital worlds seamlessly interoperable.
“This is the essence of the metaverse: connecting different experiences without barriers”, commented Sébastien, praising Metagate's work for making this direct integration between The Sandbox and Mixed Reality possible.
🍻 Mutants Beer and Made Di Apes: official beers and catering curated by Bored British (MBA #495) they gave that exclusive touch to the evening, combining taste and Web3 culture.

PRESENT ARTISTS
Metagate has the honor of bringing to Paris in Mixed Reality two extraordinary artists. The first is Eka that, with its "Stare sul Pianeta A" won the prestigious Salon d'Automne award, Paris." This artwork - in the words of the artist herself - is a "labor of love and a heartfelt call to action. It is a touching reminder of the importance of safeguarding, nurturing, and protecting the only home we have: Planet Earth. It aims to be a beacon of hope, a vision of sustainable living, and a tribute to the power of collective action. It reflects the belief that small conscious gestures can lead to extraordinary changes. United, we can contribute to a brighter and greener future for our Planet A—because there is no Planet B."
The other artist, now a veteran in Metagate experiences, is Emanuele Dascanio, which will showcase its Limited Edition Ordinals Collection - Project L.I.B.E.R.T.A.S. - that you can also see here - curated by Ordinalstudio, currently on display at the National Gallery Singapore.
