The startup, GFAL is developing a blockchain-based platform to democratize access to investment opportunities in startups and other asset classes.
Hawkins believes that Web3 technologies, including blockchain and decentralized applications, can disrupt traditional industries and create new opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors. He sees GFAL as a promising player in this space, with a strong team and innovative technology.
Hawkins gave a statement where he said, “Web3 is the bridge to the metaverse, and if we’re going to make a metaverse, the economy of the metaverse has to be more like the real world.”
