Force Web3 Weekly Investment and Financing Events（2022.2.17–2022.2.24）NO.17 Period

在本周融资中，由the sandbox母公司 — — Animoca Brands领投的Ucollex项目引起了笔者的注意，自2021年NFT出圈爆火后，加密市场中的相关项目层出不穷，其中涌现出了一批批侧重各类功能向的项目方。而Ucollex主打限量版NFT的收藏和发售，某种程度上，可以视为线上版NFT系列的“泡泡玛特”。与现在市值前列的NFT呈现不同的是。Ucollex的产品系列风格各异，但都具有详细的叙事背景和精美的文化元素。这在后期扩大ip影响力时，无疑占据了先天性的优势。收藏性和观赏性远远高于市面上的NFT产品。比如后期项目方会陆续退出“文化熊情人节系列”、“冲击波大师”、evirob星系，都十分具有审美价值。
In this week’s funding, the Ucollex project led by the sandbox’s parent company, Animoca Brands, caught the author’s attention. Since the NFT came out of the circle in 2021, there have been a lot of related projects in the crypto market, and a number of projects focusing on various functions have emerged. The Ucollex Ucollex, which focuses on the collection and sale of limited edition NFT, can be regarded as the online version of NFT series “Bubble Mart” in a way. Unlike NFT, which is now at the forefront of market capitalization, Ucollex’s product line varies in style, but all have a detailed narrative background and beautiful cultural elements. This certainly occupies an innate advantage when expanding the influence of the ip at a later stage. Collectability and ornamental properties are far higher than the NFT products on the market. For example, later the project will successively exit the “culture bear Valentine’s Day series”, “shockwave master”, evirob galaxy, are very aesthetic value.
