A Story of Skills, Technology, and Mixed Reality

At Metagate, NFTs have never been an end in themselves.
They have always been a narrative tool: a way to tell, year after year, the evolution of a company that has built its value on know-how, hands-on experimentation, and vertical expertise in Mixed Reality.

With the launch of the new Metagate 2025 NFTs, published as a natural evolution of previous collections, this story continues. Not as an aesthetic exercise, but as a historical record of a precise technological journey.

2022 – NFTs as a Statement of Identity

The first Metagate 2022 NFTs were created in a foundational phase. They serve to clarify who we are and how we work.

During this phase, the NFTs convey vision, mission, and values, as documented in the early collections now gathered on the Metagate NFT Utilities page.

• Vision (The Metaverse is the UX of Web3)
• Mission (connecting business to immersive technologies)
• Responsibility (ESG)
• Network, wearable, space, presence

Metagate is already, from the very beginning, a Mixed Reality development company: it works with brands and institutions, designs custom XR experiences, and experiments with languages and interactions.

The NFTs from this phase function as manifestos, summarizing values, methodology, and direction.

2023 – NFTs as a Story of Use Cases

In 2023, the focus shifted to the concrete application of immersive technologies. The NFT collections started telling the story of what Metagate achieves in the field.

• Tourism
• Fashion
• Gaming
• Music
• Events
• IoT
• Map-to-earn
• Live streaming

The main technology is Augmented Reality on smartphones: accessible, scalable, ideal for urban projects, events, and mass activations.

The NFTs from this year, also available through the NFT Utilities section, become a map of the skills that the company is building through real use cases.

2024 – The Strategic Shift: From AR to Mixed Reality

2024 marks a key turning point in Metagate’s technological history.

The company makes a clear transition:

• from mobile AR
• to Mixed Reality on headset

This change introduces new skills and new design levels:

• Hand tracking
• Natural interactions
• Colocation and shared presence
• AI avatars
• Immersive training
• Structured testing

The 2024 NFTs tell the story of the XR design process: from UX to hardware, from AI to training, marking the consolidation of vertical expertise in Mixed Reality.

2025 – NFTs as a Synthesis of Skill and Maturity

The new Metagate 2025 NFTs represent a phase of maturity. They do not describe individual projects, but the consolidated areas of the company’s expertise and the institutionalization of the company itself.

The 2025 collection is publicly available on OpenSea, as naturally are the previous collections.

• Advanced MR devices
• Smartglasses (coming soon)
• Quality standards (ISO 9001)
• Sectors such as Healthcare and Cultural Heritage
• Experiential marketing and immersive events
• Awards

This maturity is also recognized at institutional and industry levels, as documented in the Awards NFT, which collects prizes such as BeFuture, Premio Innovazione Italia USA, and Web3Alliance recognitions.

Alongside custom B2B development, Metagate also develops in vibecoding and OpenGate XR: a B2C platform that allows anyone to create Mixed Reality experiences independently, leveraging part of the company’s expertise.

OpenGate XR does not replace Metagate’s work: it is a product born from the company’s know-how and reflects its design methodology.

One Company, Two Ways of Working

Metagate operates today according to two complementary modes:

• as a B2B company specialized in developing custom Mixed Reality experiences;
• as a product company, through OpenGate XR, aimed at creators, companies, and professionals.

In both cases, the core remains the same: design, technology, experience, and vertical expertise.

Why Continue Using NFTs

For Metagate, NFTs have become over time: a visual archive, a public memory, and a transparent way to tell the company’s evolution.

They do not speak of hype, but of work, research, and technological maturity.

If the NFTs of the early years served to explain who Metagate was, those of 2025 clearly show what it can do.

And this is where the next chapter begins.
