The GenX Bar Celebrates the First Birthday of HoK's GenX Collection and Provides Every Holder with the Opportunity to Meet in the Metaverse

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 28, 2022 /CNW/ - Looking Glass Labs Ltd. ("LGL" or the "Company") (NEO: NFTX) (OTC: LGSLF) (FRA: H1N), a leading Web3 platform specializing in non-fungible token ("NFT") architecture, immersive metaverse environments, play-to-earn tokenization and virtual asset royalty streams, announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary House of Kibaa ("HoK") has provided each of its HoK Genesis Members ("Genesis Members") and all members of the GenX NFT community (the "GenX Community") with a GenX Bar as a part of its recurring drop program (the "Drop"). The Drop is in celebration of the first birthday of its GenX collection. One year ago, HoK successfully minted and dropped the GenX NFT collection, which sold out in just 37 minutes for total proceeds to LGL of CAD 6.2 million.

The GenX Bar is for a holder's use in their HoK-issued Pocket Dimension metaverse or as a standalone metaverse asset. The Drop is unique as access to the GenX Bar asset will be exclusively tied to each Genesis Membership and GenX NFT. This particular issuance upgrades the value of the existing assets that members already hold because it provides exclusive gated access to the GenX Bar experience. The target date for members to access the GenX Bars in their Pocket Dimension is expected to be in the fourth quarter of this year.

The Company is motivated to provide Genesis Members and the GenX Community with the opportunity to grow the value of each of their ecosystems. Releasing NFTs and non-tokenized assets that are unique to the HoK collection and each member's existing assets is a high priority for LGL and HoK.

The Genesis Membership is meant to add value on an ongoing basis to its holders. With NFT security always a concern, and with an ever-expanding NFT ecosystem, it's important to the Company for community members to only tokenize an asset for the right reasons, either as an item that empowers ownership by being customizable or by being unique and limited. Therefore, the Drop isn't for a standalone NFT token, but instead is an upgrade to the existing NFTs in circulation. HoK is proud to have a dynamic community of membership and NFT holders and it is working to bring them together into one metaverse ecosystem.

Management Commentary

"We are excited to create more value for Genesis Members and GenX NFT holders by gifting them a metaverse-ready GenX Bar in celebration of GenZeroes' first birthday," said Dorian Banks, Chief Executive Officer of LGL. "To provide members and holders with more independence in the metaverse and more value in their digital asset collections is important to us. We are focused on understanding our community members and being attentive to their feedback and wishes. We appreciate all of our members and are excited to continue our recurring drop program with new and exciting assets in the future," added Mr. Banks.
