The MetaRing from Venly.

Venly bills MetaRing NFT as membership pass for the metaverse

Venly, a blockchain technology provider, has launched its MetaRing non-fungible token (NFT) to give users access to cross-metaverse access passes.

That means it hopes to be a kind of glue for the metaverse, enabling users to bounce from world to world more easily using NFT-based access passes. NFTs use the transparency and security of the digital ledger of blockchain to authenticate unique digital items.
