Once inside look for the NFT gallery, free workshop (12 languages), and a teleporting portal to decentraland - another famous, gamified 3D space, the NFT exhibit there is cool.

It's insane how many NFTs were given to VIP attendees and general attendees at GeckoCon. People who paid full price early for the VIP ticket definitely got the most NFTs. There were partnership with Sandbox, Cometh and even a soccer NFT.

If you have a .eth ENS name totally use it, so that you are recognizable. I am collaborating with madamcrypto.eth yay.

Some people had access troubles, for that you will need to email the team. There's an email in the order confirmation email. Also you can join the discord and ask questions there. 

There are fours roles in discord admin, premium (for premium gecko subscribers), attendees and VIP attendees.

Really cool NFT giveaway and Poap

The VIP ticket is actually a Poap. That's pretty rad. You can also enter a raffle with that. There are also NFT drops from Tezos and Gala. Some Gecko themed. Some of us missed the NFTs. It ran out OR we bought the ticket late OR didn't fill out the form in time OR the email notification went into spam folder. Tragedy indeed.

How to get cheap tickets in the future?

State of NFT:

Trends

• Number of wallets is an important metric. Participation widened.
• Market Distribution: collectible non-fungible temporarily is no.1, but he thinks art and META are next.
• Currently NFT weekly sales in August is absolutely crazy, much more than 6 months ago.
• There's a sharp fall at the end of the active wallet slide because data retrieval ended before week end. It's not a true drop off.
• There are more buyers than sellers.
• People are buying more assets, not buying SUPER expensive outlier assets.
• Market distribution: there are star assets like Axie Infinity (No.1 / No.2 spot), Crypto Punk, Bored Ape Yacht Club, ....
• Data : cryptopunks are extremely centralized, invested by market makers not just average users. Nonfungible.com estimates only 2/3 of the cryptopunks are circulation. People claimed punks for free but forgot or lost the key.Top 10 punks have the 27% of the total supply of punks. That's highly centralized.
• Metric: retention rate

Metaverse session

• In the metaverse even the car you are driving around is an NFT, Rad!

Music session

Gotchiverse:

• There three distributions of land before end of year alpha go live
• One land distribution already happened. One likely to be in December. One last one right before the alpha go live
• Main mechanism is farming, there's also crafting 4 building blocks. The citadel is safe to farm. Phase 2 robots will be introduced outside land.
