The Samsung GEN3GATE – The future web3 eco system
Samsung Bridges the Digital Divide with Web3 Partner Network, Limited TV Bundle, and NFT TV App
In collaboration with partners from various Web3 sectors—Metaverse, Gaming, NFT-PFP, Marketplace, Blockchain, and traditional art—Samsung is providing more people with easy and secure access to the internet of the future. Starting April 24, 2024, Samsung will launch a limited Web3-TV bundle on samsung.com/de. This bundle includes either The Frame or The Sero TV, an exclusively branded Ledger hardware wallet, and several high-quality NFTs. Additionally, Samsung will release an NFT app for Smart TVs, allowing users to display their NFT assets on a large screen. This initiative addresses a key need within the Web3 space: showcasing collected NFTs in a grand and impactful manner.
Web3 technology enables the purchase, use, exchange, and sale of digital goods such as artworks, in-game items, and NFTs. As an early adopter, Samsung is realizing the vision of providing simple and secure access to the blockchain-based, decentralized Web3. Through an attractive partner network curated by CA Agentur, the Web3 lead agency of Samsung, which has created the strategy and the overall project, tech development, and artist curation through its strong Web3 network and international artist collective ART2PEOPLE, Samsung aims to make Web3 accessible to even more people. "Our approach is designed to make diverse Web3 experiences easily accessible to everyone. Together with our selected partners, we offer our customers a simple way to participate in various Web3 experiences. At the same time, our outstanding display technologies provide creative NFT artists with access to a global audience," said Sven Greier, Vice President of TV/AV at Samsung Electronics GmbH. "Last year, with the Samsung MX1 project, we took the first step into the Web3 world in collaboration with Ledger and our latest smartphone generation. MX1 laid the foundation for the sustainable growth of the Samsung Web3 Community. Participants received free high-quality digital artworks, a discounted Ledger Nano X, and embarked on a Web3 education journey. With TX1 and the integration of TV devices, the Web3 journey continues. Now, customers can also display their NFT artworks on their TV screens as part of the current Samsung TX1 project."
The Samsung Web3 partner network, brought together by CA Agentur (www.ca-agentur.com), includes hardware wallet leader Ledger, blockchain gaming provider Illuvium, and the decentralized and open Metaverse Wilder World. "We are thrilled to collaborate with Samsung. Under our motto 'Wilder World is for All,' we share with Samsung our vision for the future of the Metaverse. As an enabler, Samsung is the ideal partner to make Wilder World easily accessible to more users, regardless of their hardware," said Wilder World. Additionally, the NFT PFP project from World Of Women in the Women Tech sector is part of the partner network. "The art of World Of Women highlights stories of diverse women in groundbreaking fields. Thanks to the innovative partnership with Samsung, millions of people can engage with this valuable contribution from World Of Women," explained World Of Women. Polygon Labs, for blockchain infrastructure on the Polygon Chain, and the Belvedere Museum in Vienna are also part of the growing partner network.
Web3-TV Bundle Available from April 24
Samsung will celebrate the launch of these partnerships with a special sales promotion: starting April 24, a limited Web3-TV bundle will be available. The bundle includes either The Frame TV (available in 32 to 65 inches) or The Sero TV. The Frame features a sleek design, a matte screen, and a customizable frame, offering an immersive viewing experience even in daylight. The Sero, on the other hand, allows users to enjoy 43 inches in both horizontal and vertical orientations. NFT content can be displayed in any format—square, portrait, or landscape—using the Smart TV and NFT app. When the 4K screen is not in use, Ambient Mode+ can display high-resolution digital artworks, enhancing the room's ambiance.
The Web3-TV bundle also includes a custom-designed and limited Ledger Nano X. This Bluetooth-enabled hardware wallet can securely manage up to 5,500 coins and tokens. Additionally, buyers will receive high-quality NFTs from Samsung and its partners for their private collection.
NFT App for All Samsung Smart TVs
The "Samsung NFT Gallery" app, available as an MVP version (Beta version) on Samsung Smart Hub starting April 11, 2024, can initially be installed on all Samsung The Frame and The Sero TV models. This app represents another milestone toward a barrier-free Web3. Users can view digital assets on the big screen in gallery mode with various settings and discover partner collections. The app connects to the user's personal wallet. Users without a wallet can set one up via their Google account in just a few clicks through the TV app, laptop, or smartphone. Users' NFTs can then be displayed directly on the Smart TV. The new Web3-TV bundle brings the Metaverse to a large screen, allowing users to play and experience various Metaverse applications on the TV. Integration with existing NFT trading platforms will enable trading, selling, and buying NFTs on Samsung TVs in the future.
By downloading the NFT app, users will receive a free digital artwork by the renowned artist and designer Paul Milinski—Samsung TX1—between April 11 and April 24, 2024. Like all other Samsung NFTs, this piece is visually impressive and offers opportunities to participate in sweepstakes and enjoy other benefits within the Samsung Web3 ecosystem and partner offerings.
