Welcome to the inaugural This Week in Web3. At the end of every week, I’ll be bringing you the can’t-miss stories from the wonderful world of blockchain tech.
My name is Roberto Nickson, founder of Metav3rse and co-founder of MV3.
The top story from the week is from Meta.
In a post by Zuck, Meta has announced the beginning of their international expansion of digital collectibles on Instagram.
As part of the expansion, more people, creators, and businesses in more than 100 countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and the Americas will be able to share their NFTs on IG.
This feature allows people to connect a digital wallet, share digital collectibles (NFTs), and automatically tag both a creator and collector for attribution.
Coinbase Wallet and Dapper Wallet integration has also gone live this week on the platform.

On Tuesday, there was a widespread Solana private key compromise. The crypto space went into panic mode, as the cause of the hack was not found out until the following morning. Over 8,000 wallets were compromised, resulting in over $8M drained.

The collection has a supply of only 250 and was priced at 30 ETH each ($50K USD).
Buying the NFT will also include a redeemable physical pendant designed and crafted by Tiffany & Co. artisans, resembling the owner’s Cryptopunk.
