Our Digital Asset Broker platform is the key to enabling the Economy of Things. By 2026, there’ll be an estimated 66bn connected #IoT devices in use, resulting in billions of micro “peer-to-peer” transactions that need to be authenticated, authorised, and audited. Vodafone Business' Digital Asset Broker can enable these devices to connect and transact automatically, without human intervention. This allows organisations to power the potential of IoT, reduce costs and create new business models for our connected future. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/eNtZz-nD

What characteristics would it have as a technology and a social organization?💥 These are the issues Lamina1 tries to tackle -Neal Stephenson- 🔵 Lamina1 approaches the Open Metaverse with a multi-pronged approach: 📌 Layer 1 Blockchain  📌 Metaverse-as-a-Service (MaaS) 📌 Community Economic Participation and Incentives 📌 Original Content 🚨👾 The Open Metaverse – also Jamie Burke are strong defenders for an open metaverse - not one big tech controlling the space. If they will succeed, will depend on a number of different parameters- but this is the clear mission! #metaverse #web3 #blockchain #defi #Metabuzz
