On May 24, 2023, Vertex Labs (Vertexlabs.uk), a global leader in metaverse, Web3, and artificial intelligence infrastructure, announced the acquisition of Digimental Studio, a world-renowned digital art institution, for $12 million.

Vertex Labs has previously owned a series of innovative Web3 service providers, including the metaverse protocol Caduceus, decentralized real-time rendering and AI computing platform Vertex Network, and 3D metaverse platform LightCycle. This acquisition will further enhance its products and services, making it the world's most influential metaverse, Web3, and artificial intelligence infrastructure provider.

As the driving force behind HAPE (hape.io), a well-known 3D NFT fashion brand, Digimental Studio enjoys a high reputation in the art world. HAPE's NFT art combines street fashion, technology, and music culture elements, leading the trend in the fashion industry and quickly winning the pursuit of over 1 million enthusiastic collectors worldwide.

This acquisition is based on the strategic cooperation between Vertex Labs and HAPE. Vertex Labs hopes to fully integrate HAPE into its 3D metaverse platform, LightCycle (light-cycle.io), by acquiring Digimental Studio. This will make HAPE the preferred destination for the fashion metaverse and provide users with a more immersive metaverse experience. In the future, Digimental Studio will lead the creation and development of LightCycle, presenting users with unprecedented innovative artistic experiences.

This cooperation is of great significance to the global metaverse field, opening up new paths for the digital transformation of the fashion and art industries. The HAPE brand has made a name for itself in the industry through its collaboration with the Italian fashion giant Diesel and unique digital art works, and the acquisition of Vertex Labs will further expand this influence, strengthening the trend of innovation and collaboration through the integration of technology, resources, and platforms.

As a leader in the metaverse, Web3, and artificial intelligence infrastructure fields, Vertex Labs provides a new solution for the industry's decentralized real-time edge rendering technology. Its modular and easy-to-adopt Caduceus metaverse protocol can process up to 100,000 fast transactions per second and is compatible with EVM. Developers can leverage its decentralized real-time edge rendering and AI computing capabilities for migration, integration, and streaming, providing opportunities for more brands, artists, and creators to enter the metaverse field.

Vertex Labs also announced a staking plan for HAPE community members, integrating the token $CMP of the metaverse protocol Caduceus into HAPE's local ecosystem, providing more incentives and use cases for community members. Through this partnership, HAPE will gain more collaboration opportunities, establish closer connections with brands in the fashion, lifestyle, and luxury sectors, and provide unique digital and physical rewards for community users.

The acquisition by Vertex Labs demonstrates their confidence in combining fashion, art, and entertainment with the concept of the metaverse. They firmly believe that this is a new direction for the future development of the metaverse industry, and this investment and development will drive innovation and progress in the industry, providing more possibilities and opportunities for community users.

This partnership also marks an important milestone for the metaverse industry. In addition to strengthening Vertex Labs' position as a global leader in Web3 and artificial intelligence infrastructure providers, it also brings unlimited possibilities to the fashion, art, and entertainment industries. By integrating the technological strengths and innovative capabilities of both parties, the future metaverse industry will usher in innovative changes, redefining the way people interact with the digital world.

This acquisition brings greater opportunities for collaboration between Vertex Labs and Digimental Studio, and opens up a new chapter for the development of the global metaverse ecosystem. We can expect to see HAPE continue to lead digital innovation in the fashion and art world with the strong technical support of Vertex Labs, and create even more stunning and immersive metaverse experiences for users.

Vertexlabs.uk Founder and CEO Ander Tsui said: "A Web3 world without content is worthless. So we developed the world's first blockchain dedicated to metaverse development, and now we are adding Digimental to our portfolio - together we can truly break the boundaries of the digital world and provide infrastructure for the future of fashion and entertainment. The HAPE community is crucial to our growth strategy, and we are pleased to offer more rewards to HAPE and CMP token holders through tokenization and staking plans."

Digimental Studio founder Matt Sypien said: "The collaboration with Vertex Labs has opened an exciting new chapter for Digimental Studio. As we enter the era of Hape 2.0, our partnership will drive the forefront progress of the digital world. Cultivating engagement and building a loyal community has always been the core of HAPE's success. With the support of Vertex Labs, we will take this goal to a new level and provide our community with unparalleled Web3 access and experience. We are excited to establish a new partnership with an institution that leads the spirit of fashion, music, and culture, and work together with us to innovate."
