ARTISANT Launch Web3 Fashion amid FTX Collapse
ARTISANT, a major platform for sustainable web3 fashion, has partnered with MetaFactory and KongLand to create a new benchmark for the fashion industry and the rising Metaverse. ARTISANT and MetaFactory refer to the Web3 fashion product lineup as ‘metaphysical’ rather than phygital as users can wear the clothing in the real world and in the Metaverse. Millions of people lost access to their funds on the platform, triggering a rally for self-custodial crypto wallets. Self-custody wallets are decentralised finance (DeFi) tools that provide users with locally-saved crypto assets rather than with centrally-owned exchanges. The no-code platform allows users to become their avatars with WebAR technologies, host NFTs, and bespoke fashion from third-party creatives.

The Asian Rumbling and the Battle against Time
He battled many parties, but chose not to wage the battle of time, meaning the battle of belonging to the age. His experience working in France and its factories opened his eyes to the battle of time and progress. Several questions assault the Arab journalist when they visit Asian countries that have taken different paths in the race against time.
