NOVA: MAKERS . MEETS . METAVERSE
NOVA is a celebration of communities created by and connected with the Smobler ecosystem.
It is an in-real-life (IRL) festival hosted in sync with iconic crypto and web3 events to allow global communities to meet, create, celebrate and collaborate.
NOVA debuted in 2023 as an official side event at TOKEN2049 Singapore. Since then, it has been to SXSW in Austin, Texas and returned this September to Singapore as an official satellite event of TOKEN2049 and official after party partner with Ordinals Summit, the biggest BTC summit co-hosted by Inscribing Singapore.
