HEXA, one of Japan's largest Web3 NFT marketplace × metaverse services, is working on "creating an environment for promoting Web3, such as the use of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) based on blockchain technology" and "expanding the use of content, including the metaverse", as set out in the Basic Policy on Economic and Fiscal Management and Reform (the "Honebuto" policy) announced by the Kishida Cabinet on June 7, 2022. To mark monthly traffic passing 3 million visits, HEXA has published figures such as the number of metaverse residents and the growth rate of trading volume.
HEXA as one of Japan's largest NFT marketplaces
HEXA is a Japanese NFT marketplace where you can issue, buy and sell NFTs using only Japanese yen. You can easily buy NFTs from a PC or smartphone by credit card. No crypto or wallet is needed at all, so you can buy, sell and issue NFTs right away. HEXA has realized a variety of NFT issuance schemes that are firsts in Japan, such as Sponsor NFTs that combine NFTs with the real world, and Residents NFTs and ad-space NFTs linked to the HEXA Metaverse.
The HEXA Metaverse Gateway: a "metaverse space" anyone can use from a PC or smartphone
In the 3D metaverse space of the HEXA Metaverse Gateway, you can display NFTs you hold, such as 3D data, images, videos and music. Users who hold a Residents NFT, which was distributed free of charge, can build their own 3D space to open a gallery or a shop, or create a space that conveys their brand's unique world. There is no fee for using the metaverse space. Currently, 26,069 metaverse residents are enjoying the metaverse space. Many people have built their own metaverse spaces and invited friends.
How HEXA works as a Web3 NFT marketplace and metaverse
HEXA realizes the Web3 model through tokenomics, which we call Hexanomics, using HEXA LAND NFTs (which are both ad-space NFTs and metaverse plot NFTs) and HEXA Residents NFTs. By holding HEXA NFTs, you become a HEXA stakeholder and may benefit from HEXA's future growth. We aim for a world where the whole community grows the HEXA service together and the whole community shares in the rewards.

■What are Sponsor NFTs?
Consumers and users can become sponsors by buying NFTs of products and services. If a product becomes famous, the value of its Sponsor NFT may rise, and consumers can profit by reselling it. In addition, up to 10% of the resale price is returned to the issuer as a royalty, so reselling also supports the issuer. It is a service that brings the Web3 idea into the real world: expanding product sales together with consumers and sharing the rewards together.
