🚀 RBV Spotlight:

SuperWorld, the virtual real estate and digital ownership platform, is expanding its ecosystem with the launch of its native token, $SPWR, in partnership with Republic. The token sale is now open to whitelist participants ahead of a broader public release, marking a major step toward building a robust, community-driven economy in SuperWorld’s metaverse. Alongside the token launch, SuperWorld released its long awaited whitepaper, detailing its mission to merge real world impact with Web3 technology through virtual real estate, AI, and AR powered experiences. A new Super Citizen Leaderboard program has also been introduced, rewarding users for property purchases, referrals, and future activities like content creation and event participation - designed to drive engagement and strengthen the platform’s network effects.

RBV was an early backer of SuperWorld supporting its vision for a digitally enhanced world where users own, trade, and monetize virtual real estate tied to real world locations. With $SPWR entering the market and a growing global user base, SuperWorld is positioning itself as a category defining player in immersive Web3 real estate and social impact technology.

Congratulations to the SuperWorld team!
