The Internet ( R )evolution

The world is changing and so are human connections

Web3, tokenomics, AR/VR, NFTs and cryptos bring a new way of building services and business models.

In order for people to have incredible experiences in the Metaverse, interfaces have evolved, becoming more immersive, more human and more accessible.

At Telefónica, we see Web3 and the Metaverse as an opportunity to connect people's lives even better.
