Remember Tony Hawk, the guy that glamourised skateboarding and made it popular with 90s kids? Well, he's now in the Metaverse. Because these days everything is.

The Sandbox, one of the most prominent Metaverse projects out there, has teamed up with Tony Hawk himself and an NFT company called Autograph to build the largest skatepark in the world. The virtual world, that is.

Autograph will create NFTs that can be unlocked as in-game features and/or you can just collect them.

This is the latest introduction in the Metaverse but it seems there's something new to talk about on a daily basis. A healthcare company based out of the United Arab Emirates, for example, has just announced its intention to build a hospital in the Metaverse.

That, presumably, is where you can go to fix your broken [virtual] bones after attempting a double backflip at Tony Hawk's skatepark. How convenient.
