Oasis Digital Studios Limited (“Oasis”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CNSX:LQID.CN) (OTC:LQAVF) (FRA:4T51), a global blockchain, digital identity, and fintech solutions company, is pleased to announce that Oasis is working with Nashville based Masscult (formerly Monomyth), to partner to use Waxify, the Shopify app that allows merchants to easily bundle and offer Digital Collectibles on the Wax blockchain through any Shopify storefront.  Developed in collaboration with Wax and BountyBlok, Waxify is providing Oasis with the tools to sell in Fiat, or traditional currencies as well as select cryptocurrencies, using Paypal, with no gas fees, and automatically have the assets dropped to their connected wallets.  Waxify’s redemption flow allows for any and every item in a Shopify store to support digital assets removing the need to sell only on marketplaces and other 3rd party platforms. Oasis’ and Masscult’s first cooperative venture will be the sale of assets for Aftermath Islands.

Aftermath Islands is a planned metaverse, which is under an exclusive agency contract with Oasis and has already opened its Virtual Land preview for its upcoming Phase 1 sales expected to begin shortly with other Phases expected to follow. Previews are available for all themed, community and estate islands. Prospective players are encouraged to locate Virtual Land, that best suits their needs and budgets, with single plots of Virtual Land representing 1000m2 opening at introductory prices $35 USD, and larger limited parcels of Virtual Land starting with 4 plots and as large as 100 plots also available. According to Aftermath Islands, up to 7,500 parcels with a value of approximately $1,400,000 USD are expected to be released in the opening sale with other phases currently in development. Previews are available at www.aftermathislands.com

“We developed Waxify to help break down the barriers between the digital and the physical realms and build a seamless bridge between them. Waxify provides artists, brands, and retailers a simple way for customers to easily purchase digital collectibles and physical items in the same transaction, and easily couple physical and digital items without the learning curve of the blockchain.” said Grant Gelt, Chief Strategy Officer of Masscult.

In addition to Aftermath Islands, Waxify will be powering the new GourmetNFT together with Oasis, McCartney Multimedia and Chef David Skinner, (previously announced by Oasis) which will allow NFT holders to access exclusive recipes and tutorials from some of the biggest restaurateurs in the world along with recipes from other famous home chefs. Masscult currently works with some of the most influential global artists and brands, including Slipknot, Tool, Megadeth, Justin Timberlake, Stat Hero, Knotfest.com. BABYMETAL, and more across a variety of sectors.

Aftermath Islands will provide online users with theme-based first-person, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) experiences, quests, games, and integrated eCommerce activities, creating a virtual world supported by users and brands.  Under its exclusive agency contract, Oasis, will receive up to 30% of the revenue from all sales, including primary Virtual Land (“VL”) and items, a portion of land and item resales, property management fees, together with a significant grant of VL, and exercisable equity in the platform.  The Liquid Avatar Mobile App is also slated to play a role to support digital credentials required to manage Aftermath Islands metaverse accounts and asset verification.

“We have been working with Masscult for some time to be able to launch digital collectibles on their Shopify App, Waxify and we are excited to be able to put forward Aftermath Islands, an exciting new metaverse initiative as the first client to use this new technology, allowing both fiat and crypto users to buy Virtual Land,” said David Lucatch, Managing Director Oasis Digital Studios and CEO Liquid Avatar Technologies.

All Aftermath Islands’ players will also have access to create a Liquid Avatar account allowing them to manage their digital identity and certain ‘cross-over’ assets and activities connecting their in-game activities to their real-world activities and engagement.  Potential opportunities include managing avatars, items, integrated Augmented Reality (AR) events and programs, and purchasing conventional items like sneakers or trainers through KABN KASH and receiving exclusive bonuses, like matching digital assets for use in Aftermath Islands.

Limited brand and private island partnerships that will allow consumer, entertainment, sports, and commercial organizations to build and manage their own experiences inside the Aftermath Islands metaverse are currently in discussion.

About Aftermath Islands – www.aftermathislands.com

Aftermath Islands as first described in the initial whitepaper published in 2017 and then subsequently updated, was based on the premise of a water-world with islands that represented destinations in a global virtual game. Since then, the Aftermath Islands metaverse has evolved and now represents exciting themed based islands, communities, and estates where players can experience a wide range of adventures and opportunities.

In Aftermath Islands’ virtual world, users can buy, develop, trade, and sell Virtual Land (VL), property and assets, like buildings, crafted items, transport, and other items all through NFTs, a non-fungible token that represents the ownership of virtual and other assets. Each plot or parcel of VL is unique and owners get to choose what content they want to publish on their VL.  This can range from simple scenery and structures to an interactive game, store, warehouse, dwelling, facility, or destination. Users can purchase VL as well as all other goods and services in Aftermath Islands with CREDITS, the current code name for in-game currency, fiat and other authorized currencies, coins, and tokens.

Aftermath Islands is a shared virtual world, much like the Metaverse described by author Ernest Cline in his science-fiction novels Ready Player One and Ready Player Two. Expected to launch mid-2022, Aftermath Islands will allow users to connect and interact with each other, create content, craft, participate in activities and quests and play games. Aftermath Islands will have a virtual economy where users can engage in a myriad of in-world economic transactions as well as monetize the content, items, quests, and applications they build.
