Earlier this year, I visited an NFT café in Singapore. More specifically, it was themed around <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/wassiesbywassies">Wassies,</a> a creature that continues to infest Crypto Twitter thanks to notorious figures such <a href="https://twitter.com/inversebrah/status/1638688555164925952?s=20">as Inversebrah.</a>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">1/ We’ve had Wassies infest CT, the blockchain, and the metaverse. This time round, <a href="https://twitter.com/bywassies?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@bywassies</a> is bringing the infestation to the real world with Hotel byWassies! A 100% Wassie-themed boutique hotel located right in the heart of Sunny Singapore at 5 Hongkong Street <a href="https://t.co/zG13PuGLUT">pic.twitter.com/zG13PuGLUT</a>&mdash; Wassies in Asia!

</div></figure>



You could imagine my surprise when I found out that the Wassies pooled together their resources and upgraded from a café to a hotel, all in spite of their 2-week lifespan!

Located at 5 Hong Kong Street Singapore, <a href="https://www.hotelbywassies.com/">Hotel bywassies</a> is a 55-room hotel that will operate till September of this year.



 The 6-story building will not only feature Wassie-themed rooms, but also curated collaborations with Punk6529, Pudgy Penguins, Arthur0x, and<a href="https://chaindebrief.com/actor-mark-lee-announces-nft-collection/"> local funnyman Mark Lee&#8217;s Kong Collective </a>to name a few.

Emporium, the aforementioned café, is now situated at the first floor of Hotel byWassies, alongside a beautiful mural hand-drawn by fellow Wassie <a href="https://twitter.com/gen0xNFT">@gen0xNFT.</a>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">2/ The Hokusai-inspired mural took 4 days of hard work to complete, and features Wassies spawning in the Great Waves of Kanagawa, a beautiful gift from <a href="https://twitter.com/gen0xNFT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@gen0xNFT</a> <a href="https://t.co/UMb1mzKPOQ">pic.twitter.com/UMb1mzKPOQ</a>&mdash; Wassies in Asia!

&#8220;Hotel byWassies is a smol Wassie step in bringing crypto culture into the real world, as we continue to look for ways to deploy the <a href="https://twitter.com/bywassies">bywassies</a> brand IP in all shapes and forms, creating opportunities to collaborate with Wassies in propagating the global Wassie infestation&#8221;











<h2 id="not-the-first-wassie-tility">Not The First Wassie-tility</h2>



Hotel byWassies represents a bold venture into the real world for any Web3.0 project, possibly even more so for an NFT collective. But it didn&#8217;t all happen at once.



Members of their community have been contributing to building out an entire ecosystem for Wassies, both interpedently as well as the<a href="http://twitter.com/home"> $420,000 in grants</a> distributed to date.



Hotel byWassies is a prime example of using Real-World utility, with NFT holders getting a 20% discount on hotel stays, and a 69% discount on all coffee purchases at the café.

The floor price of Wassies shot up almost 30% overnight following the announcement, and currently trades for 0.41 $ETH, or approximately USD$700.
