M.T.A partners with Decentraland and The Sandbox to Launch Wearable NFT Metahelmets

Avatars were the first step, now let's empower them!

The Metaverse Travel Agency (M.T.A), a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) project specializing in first-of-their-kind NFT wearables, has officially partnered with crypto’s largest virtual worlds, Decentraland and The Sandbox, to announce a new initiative that will bridge the gap between NFTs and the Metaverse.

Metahelmets

On October 7, 2021, the M.T.A. will launch a collection of 10101 Metahelmets, which will be among the first programmatically generated wearable collections in the NFT space. Every helmet will be unique and programmatically generated from over 120 custom 3D traits - visors, holographic projectors, outer shells, screens, and more. MetaHelmets are also equipped with a screen that will allow users to display other NFTs they own directly on their MetaHelmet, through ‘The Quantum Machine’, a feature that will be available soon after launch.

When users acquire a Metahelmet, they gain access to an exclusive community filled with events, challenges, and rewards. In the weeks leading up to the drop, the M.T.A has been hosting scavenger hunts and quests, as well as developing a deep storyline for NFT holders to explore in the future. To join the community and mint a helmet, users can visit theMTA.io.

Following the launch, the M.T.A. will release unlockable content, bounties, and other exclusive activations for MetaHelmet owners.

The M.T.A also has a partnership in the works with an augmented reality platform (TBA) that will allow owners to wear their helmets in the physical world. The M.T.A community will soon grow to include more partners, more lore, and more exclusive opportunities for token holders.

The M.T.A, Decentraland and The Sandbox are excited to work together to allow users to wear their NFTs in the digital world. We envision the Metahelmet as an emblem of unity for metaverse projects, and a beacon of more collaborations to come.

When asked about the launch, Decentraland’s director Agustin Ferreira said:

“We are very pleased to welcome the Kollectif team and the M.T.A project to Decentraland. We anticipate that great experiences will be built in the Metaverse around the MetaHelmets NFTs, as well as much more in the future.”

Sebastien Borget, Co-Founder and COO of The Sandbox shared Agustin’s excitement, saying:

“The Kolectiff team has demonstrated a great creative vision on this project. We’re thrilled by the possibilities of interoperability and the many benefits that the launch of the MetaHelmet NFTs will provide access to“

Roberto Vivo, Founder of Kollectiff, said:

“The M.T.A. is the first metaverse-agnostic community that helps bring together a multitude of rebels, dreamers, and architects that represent the future of the NFT space. Our goal is to support the growth of the Metaverse and all the amazing projects that are taking shape within it. I am so excited to take the first steps alongside Decentraland and The Sandbox, the pioneers of the Metaverse”

ABOUT THE M.T.A.

The M.T.A. is on a mission to bring together and support those who will build the future of the Metaverse. The project is actively growing and will soon unveil its own creative universe, featuring layered storylines, community events and challenges, partnership activations, and more. In the coming year, the M.T.A will become the bridge between metaverses that pushes the space into a new, interconnected stratosphere. The project is powered by Kollectiff, a creative tech studio dedicated to launching moonshots in the metaverse and beyond.
