Tens of thousands of people from around the world celebrated the launch together at Thailand’s first metaverse concert on Decentraland.
The long-term partnership with Polygon Studios is part of Zipmex’s 2022 strategy to achieve its vision in NFTs and metaverse, as well as to position its ecosystem for future growth.

Kelvin Lam, Managing Director of Zipmex Group said, “It has always been one of the priorities at Zipmex to enhance user experience with cutting-edge crypto technologies. We’re thrilled to partner with Polygon Studios in becoming trendsetters of the digital culture in Southeast Asia, a region that has shown significant growth in crypto adoption in recent years. We welcome everyone – no matter if they’re crypto neophytes or natives – to join us in this crypto revolution in both the online and offline world”.
Steven Bryson-Haynes, VP, Head of Business Development at Polygon Studios, “It is a delight to collaborate with like-minded crypto leaders like Zipmex to drive the digital culture starting with mainstreaming NFTs. We look forward to introducing new metaverse initiatives via Zixel by Zipmex as well as normalizing crypto and blockchain as part of life in Southeast Asia.”
Zixel by Zipmex has successfully organized its first event on Decentraland, ‘Zixel Launch Party’ celebrating the launch of the NFT platform. Participants from around the world were able to interact with the Zixel NFT gallery and Asia’s top music talents, including Thai Electronic Pop band, Getsunova, and a DJ set by Hong Kong-Shanghai-London based music collective, Yeti Out. The event also invited users to participate in a wide range of activities such as Zixel NFT gallery showcase, NFT badge and wearable giveaways.
At the moment, Zipmex is hosting Southeast Asia’s first physical Metaverse exhibition, “The Metaworld by Zixel”. Visitors can immerse themselves into the Metaverse through a variety of experiences interconnected with the ‘Zixel Launch Party’ event on Decentraland. At its NFT Factory zone, visitors are able to create their own virtual avatar by recording their movements through motion capture technology and minting it into NFTs, which will then be exhibited on Decentraland. The exhibition also features a Crypto Arcade X Polygon Studios zone where visitors can play-to-earn MATIC, Polygon’s native token, and other prizes through a Gashapon machine sponsored by Polygon Studios. The event will end on March 20, 2022.
