Anybodies exists to remove the challenges of building in Web3 and open the floodgates for innovation and creation, and in doing so, become recognized as the worlds leading NFT infrastructure provider. In pursuit of that mission, we are taking a three-pronged approach: 1. Develop and launch proprietary technologies, like our Web3 CMS (the first in the world) that enhance the ability of entrepreneurs and brands to build on Web3 rails. 2. Grow our rewards platform into a household name—the home for loyalty rewards worldwide. 3. Produce phygital clothing items that forever change how consumers interact with their favorite brands, celebrities, and communities. Since our launch in 2021, we’ve made significant progress towards our goals: • We collaborated with Nike South Africa to release an exclusive collection of 65 custom phygital Air Force 1 sneakers. Today, holders of the AF1 NFT, which was originally used to redeem the physical pair, are earning rewards and maintain exclusive benefits within the Anybodies ecosystem for being early supporters. • In collaboration with DeGods, one of the world’s most prolific NFT companies, we launched a limited run of 200 phygital hoodies—complete with an AR-powered unboxing experience that generated over 100,000 impressions on Instagram. • We launched an NFC chip-linked sweater with Tay Keith, a globally famous producer, music programmer, and songwriter. The hoodie’s digital NFT counterpart, redeemable for the physical hoodie, did $150k in secondary sales on the first day of trading and $400k+ by the end of the first two weeks. For Tay Kieth, that yielded an extra $19 net per hoodie (1,000 total units). For any entrepreneur, brand, celebrity, enterprise, creator, or community looking to make the most of what Web3 technology can offer at a fraction of the cost of building tools on their own, Anybodies is their premiere destination.
