Founded two years ago by international siblings Rania and Rashid Ajami, Metropolis is a 360 curated ecosystem that blends unique properties, e-commerce, avatars, gaming, art & experiences that span both the digital & physical world.
MetropolisX, their most recent platform, connects users’ digital identities with tangible, exclusive products, content, and experiences from over 300 notable partners (and growing), including Steve Aoki, Elise Swopes, Bryan Brinkman, Mad Global, and Unstoppable Domains. The platform champions the “build with us and take anywhere” philosophy, transforming simple PFPs into fully interoperable avatars for use across games, virtual worlds, AR/VR, social media, and more bridging the gap between digital identities and expansive virtual experiences.
At the heart of MetropolisX is a collaboration marketplace where creators can monetize and launch personalized products and where their fans can have a more immersive connection and access exclusive products, content & experiences. This is a unique approach to combining digital and physical identity, gaming, and immersive experiences. “We are entering a new wave where digital identity is as important as your physical one. This has led us to build a groundbreaking avatar marketplace that easily onboards Web2 audiences while using blockchain technology,” says Rania Ajami. Details of Metropolis’s upcoming public token sale will be announced soon, including a community gamified airdrop, retail-focused pre-sale, and launchpad round. Further info will be released via an interactive white paper, which will include tokenomics, ecosystem partners, and a product development roadmap.
