Our dear Neo, Keanu Reeves from the Matrix, is getting into NFTs and metaverse as he joins a metaverse-centric foundation, Non-Fungible Labs. The actor will be joining the Futureverse Foundation program as an advisor.
The Matrix was all about fighting to get freedom from a digital world, and the idea of metaverse contradictorily resembles this. However, we have seen Neo fighting to gain independence from that digital world in the movies, whereas now Keanu Reeves promotes it in the real world. In an interview with the Verge, Keanu, along with his partner from the movie Alexandra Grant, was seen laughing at the idea of NFTs as he did not understand the hype then.

He said he was a Cryptocurrency HODLer that a friend bought for him, but he’s not actively trading it. However, back in December 2021, in the same interview, when he was told about the NFTs of the movie the Matrix being sold within hours as there is a concept of scarcity in NFTs, he started laughing, saying ‘these are easily reproduced.’ That critic is now turning into an advisor in the charitable foundation.

His movie partner Alexandra Grant will also be a part of this project. Keanu shared his views about his role in the Futureverse project, saying, “I am honored to be joining Non-Fungible Labs’ efforts in cooperation with Alexandra Grant for the extraordinary program and opportunity of the Futureverse Foundation, in support of artists and creators globally.”
In their recent interview, Grant said that NFTs could become a possible economy that actually is in line with the foundation’s primary goal, which is to give NFTs a meaningful touch and make them more inclusive. Futureverse Foundation’s goal is to make “a metaverse where anyone can access and create in an open, rich, and diverse world.” The foundation encourages artists to participate and become the internet frontier by creating work in NFTs and integrating them into the metaverse virtual world.
Conclusion
Futureverse is making honest endeavors by including the lead roles to bet that non-fungible assets can be much more than a speculative instrument on the blockchain. Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant will both be working to bring genuine artistic value to NFTs. These NFTs are the building blocks of the decentralized world, metaverse. The blockchain world needs more players like these to create awareness and pave the way for a meaningful and inclusive approach.
