'OneRare,' a new Web3 startup focused on merging the food and beverage (F&B) industry with the digital future, has announced the 'Foodverse.' The Foodverse will be the premier hub in the Metaverse for food-related NFTs, experiences, games, and campaigns created by entities in the F&B industry.
The creators of the Foodverse are Gaurav Gupta and Supreet Raju, a married couple who found that food is an excellent way to foster connection and a sense of community during the pandemic. With the Foodverse, everyone from companies to content creators and curious fans will be able to connect and come together in a safe, virtual space. OneRare stated that the Foodverse will feature a variety of environments designed to mimic the real world, with buildings that resemble virtual restaurants staffed by celebrity chefs, and quaint out-of-city environments such as beaches and forests.
OneRare is also launching 'Dish NFTs' as part of the Foodverse. To acquire a Dish NFT, users must follow virtual recipes to undergo the mint an NFT. OneRare has explained that "users will be able to trade and swap these NFTs for real meals & deals."
