The week was highlighted by the participation of two speakers from the industry, Pos2 from the Growth Team of Sky Mavis and Roikyuu, the Co-Lead and Lead Developer of Kusho World’s own Malaya Labs.

In a move to further immerse students in the world of Web 3.0, Kusho World introduced an innovative experiment involving merchandise that served as a gateway to minting their first NFTs. Each piece of merchandise came equipped with a QR code that, when scanned, guided users through the process of claiming an ERC1155 NFT. This initiative not only made the onboarding process seamless and gasless but also granted students access to exclusive NFT traits for “Familiars“—a future collection themed around Filipino creature lore. The Trait NFTs from the were uniquely designed for the vent and only available to event attendees, making the future Familiars they will own, more unique.

The success of the event and the enthusiastic participation of the students highlight the growing interest and potential for Web 3.0 technologies in educational settings.

This is the 2nd event supported by Kusho World to onboarding the next generation, last October—Kusho Lead spoke to students across 4 universities in partnership with University of Perpetual Help and their Student Council.
