This cover story is by Andrew Chow, who is editor of TIME’s "Into the Metaverse" newsletter.
The upcoming issue will be in an interactive NFT format, created in partnership with the LITDAO, a web3 cultural currency and NFT project that conceived and created the first fully decentralized book earlier this year.
TIME will airdrop the NFT issue to select TIMEPiece, a Web3 community initiative from TIME, and genesis LIT community wallet holders.
In addition, the magazine also announced the hiring of its first-ever VP of web3 Operations, Will Ban, who will focus on operationalizing TIME’s web3 vision and development of television shows based on IP from the web3 community.
Notably, TIME claims that its evolution into web3 version has generated more than 10 million in revenue and a community of over 25,000 artists, collectors and enthusiasts – of which, over 5,000 TIMEPiece holders have connected their digital wallets to TIME.com.
