Decentraland Hosts First-Ever ‘Metaverse Festival’
Decentraland, the blockchain-based virtual social world, announced today that it is hosting the world’s first-ever multi-day music festival held in the metaverse from October 21–24. The Metaverse Festival will feature over 80 artists, including Deadmau5, Paris Hilton (alongside a very special surprise guest), Flume, 3LAU, Nina Nesbitt, RAC, and dozens of other global artists across the musical spectrum.
Major sponsors, including Rarible, Heineken, Metapurse, Playboy, Monkey Shoulder and Kraken, are helping to bring the Metaverse Festival to life. Throughout the four days, festival attendees will enter free of charge and enjoy a multisensory experience that, in addition to the incredible line-up of musical acts across five different stages, also includes VIP areas, a fun fair (complete with rollercoaster, ferris wheel and pirate ship rides), a human cannonball machine, a psychedelic sculpture garden, a merch store for NFT wearables, and even portable toilets – each one a unique destination in its own right.
The theme of the Metaverse Festival is Evolution, as the event will evolve in multifaceted ways over the four days. Each day, the main stage will change, from ‘Water’ on the first day, to Earth on the second, Space on Day 3, and the finale – Metaverse. The main stage will change to reflect these sub themes, with spectacular architectural designs having been developed by community teams from Decentraland.
Another custom build will be the Paris Hilton avatar, created by the team at avatar technology company Genies, in its first-ever collaboration with Decentraland. Of the performance, Jake Becker, Head of Talent Relations at Genies said, “Paris kickstarting her Genies journey with a virtual performance in Decentraland is quintessential Paris Hilton. She’s a queen amongst culture, blockchain and now the metaverse.” Hilton will DJ tracks wearing outfits designed by her surprise guest, making his metaverse fashion debut.
“The Metaverse Festival is really the culmination of long-standing support of music, artists, and live performance in Decentraland,” said Sam Hamilton, Head of Community & Events at the Decentraland Foundation. “It’s a celebration of music and culture in the virtual social world, but also a recognition that the metaverse has arrived as a viable, irresistible and profitable space for creative people, whatever their medium or background.”
The Metaverse Festival marks the dawn of a new era, not only for Decentraland and its mission to drive deeper integrations of our daily lives with the metaverse, but one that enables the forging of a new kind of relationship between entertainers and their fans. This free-to-enter festival will showcase decentralized blockchain technology, and how it empowers disparate peoples, no matter where they are, to experience a brand new way for humans to interact with each other and our digital environments.

UNICC and ShelterZoom Developed a Secure Document Tracking and E-Signature Solution for the UN System
The United Nations International Computing Center (UNICC) and ShelterZoom are pleased to announce a new innovative blockchain-based solution for controlling and protecting the digital data of UN entities and other international organizations. As the largest strategic partner for digital solutions and cybersecurity within the UN system, UNICC has partnered with ShelterZoom, a leading data and content protection and ownership SaaS company behind innovations such as Document Token® technology and Document GPS®.
Building upon the 50 years of experienced innovation from the UNICC, the two organizations collaborated on a transformational undertaking offering robust protection and promising increased productivity for document tracking and management. ShelterZoom will contribute its proprietary document tokenization technology, along with its data protection, document tracking and e-signature solutions to deliver a white-labeled platform, giving member organizations a greater level of governance over their content. Using ShelterZoom’s flagship proprietary Single Source Of Truth® technology, the solution provides a means for each file to be protected individually without changing user normal habits instead of having to rely solely on protecting files at the database level. This ‘singularity and control’ is a new era in cybersecurity and document management, which has never been seen before at this level of seamless integration with existing tools.
“The synergy between what we deliver and the goals of the United Nations are a perfect match for Single Source Of Truth,” said Chao Cheng-Shorland, CEO and Cofounder of ShelterZoom. “We have said from the beginning that it is time to think about cybersecurity in a completely new way and in doing so we have created a solution to address other operational pain points while simultaneously solving one of the biggest challenges facing the global population today. The UN is at the frontlines of changing the world for the better and its forward-thinking approach to using technology to address fundamental issues is critical in improving livelihoods for all.”
ShelterZoom solutions have already been in use across dozens of industries and with this new commercial partnership, they can now extend their usefulness to the UN family and other international organizations. The revolutionary method for complete document tracking with built-in productivity tools, such as digital signatures and a market-first method for organizing files inside email, is an all-in-one solution built for a global workforce. The Single Source of Truth model has the added benefit of decreasing the carbon footprint created by excessive digital waste, further supporting the sustainability goals of the United Nations.
“The need for robust cybersecurity and data protection has never been greater,” said Sameer Chauhan, Director of UNICC. “By working together with ShelterZoom, we have developed a cutting-edge tool tailored to the needs of the UN family. Our unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class solutions ensures we continue to support the digital transformation and modernization of the UN system and other international organizations.”
