The Next Billion Dollar Opportunity in Web3 🚀

WEB3 INNOVATION | Looking Beyond The 10K PFP Drops

As the saying goes, bear markets are for building. With the web3 space maturing & infrastructure being built out, new business models are emerging — and builders are taking advantage.

For a little mid-week inspo, here are 5 examples of web3 projects — disrupting spaces from gaming to creator monetization — that you can build today, powered by thirdweb:

1) Low/No-Code Creator Tools: Help creators launch web3 experiences with tools for them to build on the blockchain. Tip: Capture demand quickly by building tools for niche audiences first.

Example: Mintgate

Mintgate is a platform for creators to easily sell NFT-gated experiences & content to their audiences. Creators can easily build and deploy their gated stores using Mintgate's tools & contract deployments.

2) Play-to-Earn Games: Gaming will be one of the catalysts which introduces millions to Web3. Build Web3 games which rewards gameplay with NFTs and tokens.

Example: Chess Universe

Chess Universe is an online chess game where players can compete in competitions to win NFTs and a native token. Players are rewarded for their performances and offered tangible incentives to level up.

3) Marketplaces: Web3 users need places to buy & sell digital assets. Every vertical will need its own marketplace to ensure the experience is optimized for specific audiences.

Example: Filta

Filta is an augmented reality face filter marketplace, powered by NFTs. Users can buy NFTs that represent exclusive AR filters—which they can then use to capture & share content.

4) NFT Ticketing: Web3 is primed to disrupt the events industry. NFTs that unlock access to exclusive events is a huge opportunity, as organizers look to offer unique experiences and digital collectibles for attendees.

Example: New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week launched NFTs that unlocked access to exclusive events & experiences.

5) Music NFT Platforms: The music industry is ripe for disruption, as artists look for better ways to engage their fans & monetize their work. Music NFTs enable artists to drop digital products for their fans to support them through.

Example: EVEN

EVEN is a platform that allows artists to launch NFTs where their fans can "pay what they like" to purchase a pre-release of a new album. The NFTs unlock a first listen to the album, a physical CD, and a chance to receive a cut of the artists' royalties.

All in all, there has never been a better time to build in web3. Check out our blog for more inspiration on what you can build today, and our quick-start guides below to get your web3 project rolling!

In this guide, we'll show you how to create a Dapp that works on multiple chains. Within our Dapp, we will enable users to select chains and claim an NFT from the respective chain.
