METAZ wrapped up a big month with the completion of the Aptos Horizons Accelerator, Japan’s first government-backed Web3 program. The journey ended with Demo Day on June 6, 2025, in Osaka, where we showcased our tokenized sneaker platform to investors and partners.

From pitch perfect moments to game changing ideas, Aptos Horizon Demo Day brought together bold founders, visionary builders, and a vibrant Web3 community.
This was more than just a showcase. It was a celebration of innovation and what's next… pic.twitter.com/8NE4dSXKKD
Aptos Horizons program focuses on APAC Web3 startups and has support from the Aptos Foundation. We leveraged the 8-week program—running from April 14 to June 6—to refine our services, setting us up for success for Q4!
The Demo Day spotlighted our edge: free climate-controlled vaults in the US and Korea, a 3% seller fee (versus StockX’s 13%), and instant global trading without VAT or tariffs. Investors saw the potential, and we're going to build on the momentum!
Community Reward Program (Soon!)
On the community front, we’re launching rewards for active members. Starting July 1, 2025, join us on Discord (https://discord.gg/aFy5YwWfAV) to earn incentives.
Top perks include USD prizes—cash rewards for top traders—tokenized sneakers from our marketplace, and early access to flash buy-backs. Just interact: post in general chat, list sneakers, or refer resellers in the proper channels.
The more you engage, the better your shot at rewards.
METAZ is at a turning point. The Aptos Horizons win and community rewards signal growth, but we need your support. Custody sneakers at metaz.io/custody, trade on the marketplace, and let's keep the collection growing!
