The Parsons School of Design at The New School will display the work of students who took part in the school's inaugural collaborative course with the metaverse platform Roblox.

The show will feature 3D digital clothes made for the metaverse by students who took the course, which lasted 16 weeks and focused on investigating trends and designing digital designs.

Three interactive experiences addressing the issue will be available within the area, and the students' work will also be available for purchase via Roblox's Marketplace.

Kyle Li, assistant professor of communication design and technology at Parsons, stated in a press release that the designs on display demonstrated how students drew inspiration from diverse creative backgrounds and pushed the boundaries of what was achievable with metaverse-only clothes.

"This is a new milestone for user-generated content and digital fashion design at the University," Li noted, "and our students are at the very forefront of it."

Through their licencing partnership, Parsons and Roblox stated that they would continue to collaborate to increase access to design education.

The current collaboration expands on Parsons' 'The New School's N Ventures' venture, which seeks to increase access to design learning through collaborations with organisations and learning programmes.

World's fastest growing social on-chain Indian app Chingari launches the First-Ever GARI Token Burn

Chingari, the world's fastest-growing on-chain social service, has announced the burning of 2.6 million GARI tokens in its first token burn. This significant move represents 0.25% of the entire GARI token supply, demonstrating Chingari's dedication to building a healthy and thriving token ecosystem for its consumers.

This token burn was funded by income produced from boost and badge sales, and Chingari intends to continue with monthly token burns until the total quantity of GARI tokens hits 21 million. With a total supply of approximately 997 million GARI tokens, this is a lofty goal, but one that Chingari is determined to meet.

Chingari's monthly token burns will take place on the first of every month, and will involve burning income from the previous month's Boost and Badge purchases. The on-chain app also intends to introduce other revenue streams for token burn if necessary. These burns will ensure that currencies are permanently removed from circulation, a procedure known as token burn.

Sumit Ghosh, CEO & Co-Founder, Chingari, communique, “Token burning is a common yet powerful crypto industry practice that reinforces our commitment to building a sustainable GARI ecosystem. We remain committed to creating effective economics that will drive long-term success and benefits for our community and ecosystem.”
