BOAX NFT Marketplace Introducing A New Perspective in Blockchain Aesthetics
On January 28, 2022, Mr. Ian Wen, the founder of BOAX NFT Marketplace and IZBLU Labs, and his team will be introducing the Virtual World to a new perspective in Blockchain Aesthetics through its collaboration with Index Game which is the first Hong Kong-based metaverse gaming studio officially appointed by The Sandbox to build experiences for The Sandbox decentralized metaverse. BOAX NFT Marketplace will create the world’s first I-Ching (or the Book of Changes) Metaverse and announce its Chinese New Year Fengshui NFT project with the internationally renowned and respected Feng Shui and Destiny consultant Grandmaster Raymond Lo.

Mr. Ian Wen is the Chairman of BOA Financial Group, seasoned commercial lawyer, blockchain investor and venture capitalist. Mr. Wen founded BOAX NFT Marketplace which is one of the first Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) platforms to ride on the digital assets megatrend. The BOAX NFT Marketplace platform will introduce more Blockchain-related concepts in the future, like GameFi, with the aim of introducing a new era of Blockchain Aesthetics and bringing greater fairness to the market participants. With his vision and astute market sense, Mr. Wen decided to join hands with Index Game widely known for its signature metaverse game “Kowloon Walled City” which has been recognized and endorsed by The Sandbox Game Maker Fund.
I-Ching Metaverse
The “Meta” in the Metaverse stems from the Greek prefix “μετά”, which means “beyond” or “transcendence and above”. Great philosophers, writers, novelists, scientists and artists across generations have been pursuing and trying to actualize the “meta” world. After centuries of exploration in the metaphysical, people have collectively arrived at the age of virtual assets, and more recently, the NFT megatrend. Mr. Wen who is passionate about Chinese metaphysics and fengshui considers NFT as a bridge to introducing to the public the I-Ching Metaverse governed by the oriental wisdom of co-creation, sharing and collective well-being. The I-Ching Metaverse will be piloted in The Sandbox, where the fengshui NFTs will be created by the same IZBLU Labs team which introduced the unique “RMBits” voxel style NFT developed in 2021 as the world’s first Meebit-style NFT series inspired by traditional Chinese literature characters which was sought after by the market as soon as it was listed. There is an old saying about I-Ching “Learning the Book of Changes, we shall be free from critical life mistakes and can live a carefree life.” Through modern technology, I-Ching and traditional Chinese culture can be promoted in a new way, allowing more people to learn this ancient Chinese wisdom. This is also Mr Wen’s original intention of founding BOAX and starting the “I-Ching Metaverse” project.
Grandmaster Raymond Lo – The Captain Fengshui in the I-Ching Metaverse
“I locate my hut in the secular, yet you hear not traffic uproar. Such tranquillity in the hustle and bustle, you ask how it could be so?” People are restricted by different identities and characteristics in the physical realm but in the virtual realm everything is possible and plausible. In Metaverse, utopia is no longer a concept but an actual horizon. Grandmaster Raymond Lo is one of the most sought-after professional Feng Shui and Destiny consultants in the world. As the I-Ching Metaverse expert consultant of BOAX, he is not only offering his professional knowledge on I-Ching and Feng Shui but also advising to blend blockchain aesthetics with proper Feng Shui energy which brings good luck and prosperity to NFT “hodlers”.
Year of Tiger Metaverse 101 – Chinese New Year NFT at your pocket
“It was the best of time, it was the worst of time.” This binary yet co-existing scenario is abundant throughout people’s life, therefore, the art of maintaining auspiciousness and peace throughout the year is a true quest for most of us. BOAX is here for your new year resolution in 2022, the year of the Tiger. The launching of the Chinese New Year NFT project brings forth the profound meaning of rebirth and revitalization, charging you with positive energy. According to Grandmaster Lo, in the Chinese fortune-telling system, Tiger and Pig come together in a space means the elimination of any negative energy and bad things for the coming year. In the raging environment of the epidemic, getting your own set of BOAX Chinese New Year NFT will surely bring good luck to yourself, your family and your friends.
