Forbes and OKX’s partnership will see selected OKX users becoming part of its alluring Web3 community by skipping a queue of at least 120,000 existing applications.
American magazine Forbes has partnered with OKX to allow the exchange’s users to join its Web3 community. This collaboration will provide fast-tracked entry to OKX users, connecting “onchain content creators, builders, and innovators” to the exclusive circle.
OKX’s Chief Marketing Officer explained what the collaboration would look like, “I’m happy to announce our collaboration with Forbes, offering our onchain wallet users a fast-track application for the Legacy Pass NFT. This digital collectible unlocks a membership club uniting Web3’s brightest minds, granting access to an elite network of industry leaders.”
This gated community will require users to possess the Legacy Pass NFT, and the collaboration between the two ventures will provide it to certain OKX users. Lucky users who complete onchain and offchain tasks associated with this social campaign will make it to the Legacy Pass VIP allowlist. With that, they will move ahead of at least 120,000 applicants wanting to be part of Forbes’ Web3 circle that includes massive names like Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, Sébastien Borget, COO of The Sandbox and the President of Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto division.
Beyond that, the NFT will bring multiple benefits to holders. That includes access to exclusive real-world Forbes events, premium subscription to Forbes.com, voting rights on Forbes’ Web3 list, mentorship opportunities, spotlighting opportunities on physical Forbes magazines, and more.
The Collaboration Highlights Unshakeable NFT Utility
Forbes and OKX are tapping into NFT use cases to bridge their communities and use onchain assets to offer benefits in the real world. While valuations of NFT collections have generally hit tremendous lows, their utility cannot be undermined. This collaboration displays just that.
Chief Growth Officer at Forbes, Taha Ahmed, mentioned, “This initiative not only showcases our commitment to fostering innovation but also provides a platform for individuals to engage with and contribute to the future of digital assets and blockchain technology.”
