Management Commentary
“The Alliance enables us to market and perform certain complimentary business activities together and seamlessly integrate the VenVūū NFT monetization platform into Project Origin. I expect this to strengthen DatChat’s VenVūū presence as a leading NFT monetization platform while allowing HoK to leverage VenVūū to create further asset opportunities for content creators,” said DatChat’s CEO, Darin Myman.
“I would like to thank DatChat for crystalizing the Alliance with HoK. I look forward to our teams working together to develop better outcomes not only for our companies but also for content creators and the metaverse community at large.
