SEOUL--(뉴스와이어)--METAZ, the leading Web3 platform in the tokenized (RWA) sneaker resale market, today announced its selection for the Aptos Movementum Accelerator Program. This strategic partnership with the Aptos Foundation positions METAZ as a trailblazer in the growing Aptos ecosystem, providing access to resources, mentorship, and funding opportunities.

METAZ operates a blockchain-based platform for investing, collecting, and trading tokenized sneakers. The platform has established itself as a trusted resale marketplace for tokenized sneakers, with over 890 authenticated sneakers in its vault representing $786,758 (at current resale values) in Total Value Locked (TVL).

Through strategic partnerships with trusted warehousing and logistics providers worldwide, METAZ offers secure storage and efficient global distribution - services that typically come with hefty fees on conventional platforms - at no additional cost to users. This physical-meets-digital approach enables instant transactions and unlocks additional ways to obtain liquidity while eliminating common pain points like storage concerns, authentication delays, and cross-border shipping complexities. By removing these traditional barriers and fees, METAZ makes the global sneaker market more accessible and efficient for everyone, from casual enthusiasts to serious collectors.
