Lost Worlds launches LOST.NYC, an immersive NFT experience for NFT.NYC Event

London-based NFT platform Lost Worlds today announced the launch of LOST.NYC, an immersive experience that will take place in New York during the upcoming NFT.NYC event that takes place from April 11-14. The LOST.NYC event showcases the new utility afforded by this technology.

In addition, the project has partnered with some attractive names in the space such as DeLabs, STEPN, and Chikn. As well as 23 artists such as Sotheby’s, Anton Conolly, and Derry Ainsworth who have launched their debut geoNFT collections. The NFT.NYC is the preeminent conference for the NFT community.

LOST.NYC has been conceived as an experience that allows NFTs to transcend their digital boundaries and take root within the city that never sleeps. NFTs have traditionally been constrained as a desktop experience, with little scope for exploring their utility within the real world. Lost Worlds is attempting to bring a Pokemon-Go-like experience to NFTs with location-based NFT mining.

Geofencing NFTs to physical locations unlock new and exciting ways to interact with digital assets. Outside of the experience itself, holders of these assets can gain access to token-gated merch, real-world events, exclusive NFT drops, and more. To showcase the new utility afforded by this technology, Lost Worlds has partnered with some of the biggest names in the space for NFT.NYC.

Web3 lifestyle app STEPN, utilizes Lost World’s geoNFTs to provide memorable IRL to URL experiences. STEPN will drop their scavenger hunt-like geoNFTs at running locations including Central Park during NFT.NYC. Minters will be able to claim a badge and become eligible for exclusive STEPN mints on the MOOAR NFT platform.

DeLabs, the creators of DeGods and Y00Ts, are leveraging the Lost Worlds platform as one part of their DeNYC multi-day experience which includes a landmark tour and treasure hunt with over $100,000 in claimable prizes. The geoNFTs hunt includes 5 landmarks throughout the city for users to collect. Each location will have 500 mintable geoNFTs on the Polygon blockchain.

The locations include:

• Grand Central
• Empire State Building
• Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital
• Central Park
• Brooklyn Bridge

Lost Worlds has successfully engaged 23 of the world’s most renowned artists to launch their debut geoNFT collections on the Ethereum blockchain. These artists have had their works featured in prestigious auction houses and platforms, such as Sotheby’s. Notable names include Derry Ainsworth, Gabe Weis, Cult Class, and rising star Anton Conolly. As a way to bring NFTs into the real as a form of certification the person who discovers and mints Anton Conolly’s geoNFT in New York and mints, it will also receive a 68″ x 50″ physical painting bridging creating a hybrid experience for collectors.

Chikn, a pioneering play-to-earn NFT game on the Avalanche AVAX, is introducing in-game assets to location-based NFTs. With “Loot Boks,” a clever twist on the term “loot box,” Chikn offers mystery box geoNFT mints that contain items transferable and usable within the chikn.farm game and ecosystem. One such minting event will take place at the farm situated atop the Jacob Javits Center, providing an exciting opportunity for players to acquire valuable in-game assets in the real world
During the course of NFT.NYC, Lost Worlds will also be hosting other geoNFT scavenger hunts. Participants who succeed in collecting geoNFTs from locations scattered throughout New York City will be rewarded a non-tradable NFT Badge, which unlocks VIP access to side events, as well as exclusive NFT drops.

Lost Worlds is the first location-based NFT platform. It allows anyone to mint geoNFTs from physical locations. These NFTs can range from digital collectibles to concert tickets, vouchers for merch, and much more.
