New Partnerships, Strengthened Relationships, and a Bright Future Ahead for the Leading Celebrity Metaverse Builder
Despite the industry-wide challenges of 2022, CEEK was able to build the world’s largest Metaverse community, secure new partnerships, and fortify existing ones. The CEEK teams have been hard at work collaborating with major players such as Meta, Microsoft, Draper University, World Music Awards and Miami Gardens (the host of FIFA 2026) to lay the foundation for future developments in the Metaverse and engage with global superstars, brands and creators.
Reflecting on the Highlights and Significant Achievements of 2022
CEEK is the leading celebrity Metaverse builder, trusted by global superstars such as Lady Gaga, Bon Jovi, Ziggy Marley, and 3x NBA Champion Dwyane Wade to connect with their fans. With a community of over 7 million users worldwide and a focus on using the CEEK utility token to verify content usage and digital asset ownership on the blockchain through smart contracts, CEEK has established itself as a leader in the Metaverse. CEEK was the first to offer fully immersive Metaverse experiences with spatial exploration, even presenting the concept to Facebook (now Meta) before the Metaverse craze and has built a strong infrastructure that it believes will continue to be a cornerstone of the entertainment Metaverse for years to come.
Last year, CEEK made significant progress to set itself up for continued growth as the Metaverse expands. Despite setbacks caused by the ongoing war in Ukraine, the CEEK teams in that region and around the world have shown remarkable resilience and have successfully delivered top-quality features and resources to support the CEEK ecosystem. Here are some of the significant achievements in 2022:
● CEEK token was chosen as one of an elite group of projects building on the Binance Smart Chain to participate in the Binance Most Valuable Builder (MVB IV) program, which is designed to support and accelerate growth on the BNB Chain.
● The CEEK token team worked diligently to secure listings on top tier exchanges including Kucoin, Huobi, and OKX. In the coming year, the company plans to continue building and expanding on these relationships.
● CEEK strengthened its partnership with Meta as it received great support from the Meta team. The CEEK team is working to port CEEK application to Meta Quest in 2023 to provide access to millions of Meta users ceeking live entertainment, social hangouts, and types of unique experiences only CEEK offers. CEEK also received social support from partners such as Microsoft, ApeSwap and many others.
● CEEK teamed with Draper University to launch HOUSE OF CEEK in 2023, which will provide developers with the CEEK framework and SDK to build environments for the CEEK marketplace that creators and landowners can easily rent or purchase. This partnership will also give CEEK access to a wide network of strategic partners to support our near and long-term goals.
● The CEEK team received positive feedback from the community and the residents of Miami Gardens upon the release of the Miami Gardens Metaverse. The Hard Rock Arena, which hosts major events such as the Super Bowl, US Tennis Open, and the upcoming FIFA 2026 tournament, is included in the Miami Garden’s Metaverse. Our aim is extending the fan experience for these massive events into the Metaverse.
● CEEK has teamed up with the prestigious World Music Awards, which has featured performances by global superstars such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and U2. The CEEK Metaverse will offer an exclusive NFT collection honouring the world’s largest global music show, allowing fans to be a part of the celebration of these musical icons and superstars. In addition, fans will have the opportunity to virtually attend the next show, walk the Red Carpet, and get a rare and unique experience through the CEEK Metaverse.
● The influential Randi Zuckerberg visited the CEEK Metaverse to talk about the future of Web3 and unveil her upcoming project, The Hug. During her visit, she also expressed her pride in being a CEEK Hodler and credited CEEK CEO Mary Spio for introducing her to the Metaverse.
● CEEK teamed with the official GRAMMY Awards Gift Lounge to introduce more global music artists to the Metaverse. During the event, artists including 5x Grammy Winner John Baptiste, members of iconic KPOP group BTS, and J Balvin all had the chance to experience CEEK.
● Partnerships with creators are crucial for the growth and success of the CEEK Metaverse. The company has established a strong foundation with ground-breaking shows like The Debut Live and the Impact Awards featuring Luis Fonsi, the creator of the world’s most streamed song, “Despacito.” Artists including The Game, Busta Rhymes, DaBaby, French Montana, Maluma, Adam Levine, Future, Kodak Black, Daddy Yankee, Jo Mersa Marley, Maffio, Yandel, and Bad Bunny producer Tainy have released or have upcoming content in the CEEK Metaverse. CEEK aims to expand these relationships with ongoing exclusives supported by the artists to grow the CEEK community and use of $CEEK.
● The CEEK NFT Marketplace (land.ceek.com) was launched, with the initial release of 2000 parcels to the community. Based on community feedback, the team has made updates and optimizations to the platform, including using $CEEK as the standard for sales and payments, and has integrated with several third-party marketplaces such as OKX to allow their users to easily purchase land in the CEEK Metaverse. The team has also prioritized security for CEEK wallets and optimizing the auction process.
● BNB Wallet Integration: CEEK completed the Binance Wallet integration into the CEEK application, allowing users to use BEP-20 CEEK for transactions in the CEEK Metaverse. The company is phasing out ERC-20 wallets for use in the Metaverse, but users will still be able to view their ERC-20 balances. CEEK is also working on the ability to transfer coins from the CEEK ERC-20 wallet to the BEP-20 wallet.
● CEEK has completed the integration of the OKX wallet for use in the CEEK Metaverse, including the ability to buy and sell land with the OKX wallet. See Ceek Land page in the OKX marketplace for more details.
● CEEK received significant media coverage in 2022, including features in Forbes, US Weekly, Wired, Hackermoon, IBTimes, Coin Telegraph, and more. CEEK VR CEO Mary Spio was also invited to participate in the ongoing Metaverse segment from NASDAQ Studios, and the company advertised using Times Square billboards.
● The CEEK token has also been ranked as one of the top projects by Certik, with a score of 95%.
● CEEK VR products are now available at luxury retailers Selfridges and Neiman Marcus. CEEK products are popular among celebrities and ceekers alike, with notable figures such as NBA legend Derrick Rose, Georgina Rodriguez (wife of Cristiano Ronaldo), Hennessy (sister of Cardi B), MMA champion AJ McKee, 2x UFC champion Francis Ngannou, actors Ian Somerhalder and Kat Graham all spotted using CEEK products.
The CEEK Advantage — Building for the Future
As the Metaverse becomes increasingly important for bridging the gap between the digital and physical worlds, CEEK sees a huge opportunity for growth in 2023 and beyond. Creators, brands, and influencers are eager to establish a presence in the Metaverse to stay relevant, share, connect, and monetize their work. However, creating and distributing content in the Metaverse is complex and time-consuming, and most creators do not have the specialized skills, teams, or resources to do so. CEEK makes it easy for anyone to create and share content in the Metaverse, with a user-friendly app that allows creators to customize and render 3D environments using a web interface without any coding. The plan is to release a mobile version of the CEEK tool that makes sharing and connecting in the Metaverse as easy as posting to Instagram or YouTube.
In addition to the challenges of creating content for the Metaverse, distributing content to fully immersive platforms such as Oculus Quest add new layers of complexity for streaming media, creating 3D worlds, user avatars, interactions, and sessions for multiple devices. Creating and distributing content in the Metaverse requires programming for various VR and mobile components, such as sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, barometers, etc.) for head tracking and accurate data rendering, and screen size and field of view for optimal viewing. When these device or content metrics are not properly configured, it can lead to distortions, discomfort, and negative user experiences. It is therefore crucial to have a tool that is easy to use for creating and sharing content in the Metaverse.
CEEK VR maintains a library of device profiles for various operating systems to ensure accurate rendering across a wide range of devices. The CEEK VR engine also tracks device capabilities and configurations for seamless content delivery.
CEEK also uses proprietary progressive texture mapping and media streaming to optimize device performance, storage, and content security. Regular 2D media can be displayed in a fully immersive environment, giving users a completely different perspective and allowing content owners to easily enter the VR market and generate new forms of revenue.
One of the benefits of delivering content in VR is that users can enter a social world and view content on larger, customized displays using their mobile phones, rather than just watching videos on small, flat screens.
In addition to being user-friendly, CEEK is also popular among musicians for its enhanced audio capabilities. The platform’s proprietary 4D software and hardware, along with integrated audio decoders, allow music fans to experience the artistry of their favorite artists with clarity and quality. CEEK has developed audio controls and activation for interacting with content on the previous version of the Oculus and is currently working on similar features for mobile interaction.
This is a useful alternative in the absence of motion controls. CEEK is continuously optimizing for scale and performance as technology and expectations advance.
