Creating unique, real-life experiences for digital collectors is paramount, so we continue to prioritize this for our community. Last week, we took 20+ Candy #MLB collectors to spend a day at Dodgers Stadium with us. There, they had the chance to meet Gavin Lux, snag the highly-coveted Yoshinobu Yamamoto bobblehead, and enjoy a great game with friends and family. Moments like these help connect like-minded fans from all over and allow them to indulge in the game they love. Here's how it went 👇 #DigitalCollecting #Community #Fandom #Blockchain #Web3

Since day one, nothing has changed. We're still here growing and building. Quote from Candy Digital CEO, Scott Lawin #Web3 #Blockchain #Fandom #DigitalCollectibles

Yesterday, we announced the new Candy Digital Community Member Spotlight Program! Each month, we’ll spotlight a member from our #MLB community and one from #DCComics who has gone above and beyond. These spotlights will allow us to tell their stories and showcase the passion they bring each and every day. From creating original content to owing collections of epic proportions, there’s nothing like a Candy MLB and DC collector.

People don’t understand the value of web3 until they understand the value of ownership. Web2 moved us from an ownership economy to a rental economy. You used to own a record label. Now you steam a song. You used to own a book. Now you listen to a podcast. This transition has brought down costs significantly, which is awesome as a consumer. But something is lost in this transition - people like to own things. When you own something, it FEELS different. It can become part of your identity. And when it is part of your identity, a new dynamic is unlocked. Web3 and web3 gaming will deepen and unlock new forms of fan engagement because it will enable fans to own parts of the stories they care about. Candy is already doing this with DC comics and MLB. Gaming is the next unlock.

Candy Digital's CSO Daniel Heyman is in attendance this week in Lisbon, Portugal, for the NFC Summit to speak on "Digital Ownership Meets Authentic Engagement: How Blockchain Gaming is the Future of Fan Experiences." His discussion will cover the booming #blockchain gaming market, which is estimated to hit $65.7 billion by 2027, and will dissect how major sports leagues are using on-chain tech to connect with fans in new ways, using models that use digital collectibles and blockchain tech alongside traditional game styles to grow fan engagement. 🗓️ Wednesday, 29th May. ⏰ Time: 10:00 am - 10:10 am https://lnkd.in/eFtZk_D8 #NonFungibleConference #NFT #Web3 #Web3Gaming #SportsBusiness
