“NFT 1.0 is about individual character and item, NFT 2.0 is about land and real estate, NFT 3.0 is about business and utility on top of the land and real estate,” said MOBLAND co-founder Roy Liu in a press release.
The weed farms will be part of the NFT 3.0 phase and will mark the start of the platform’s new “grow-to-earn” feature.
“I saw my father play video games my whole life. Cannabis and game controllers live hand in hand with him, that’s why I think it’s no brainer to bring the metaverse and digital weed together,” said Broadus.
MOBLAND expects the collaboration with Snoop Dogg and Champ Medici will bring digital cannabis and mass adoption to GameFi 2.0.
Price Action: MOBLAND’s native token SYNR SYNR/USD is built on the Ethereum ETH/USD. At press time, SYNR was trading at $0.07727, down 2.23% in the last 24 hours. ETH was trading at $3,099, up 0.37% over the same period.
