Furthermore, NFT collectors will receive full access to a Discord members-only channel with access to LearnWPT content and entry to exclusive VIP events during WPT Live Events.
“Our avatars are built with 100% utility in mind and will act as Access NFTs. Think of them as verified NFT profiles on the WPT Global app that come with valuable perks and access,” commented Meysam Moradpour, General Manager at Gamavrs.
“Players will immediately know if they are playing against the real Steve Aoki, based on his NFT profile, which has a different shape and size than common profiles inside the WPT Global platform.”
