Participants are encouraged to pre-register for the event via the link above. The tour will be led by Mr. Milton "Todd" Ault, III, founder of BitNile.com, which is set to launch and "go live" March 1, 2023. BitNile.com's development is led by Douglas Gintz, its President and Chief Product Officer. The Company once again invites the public to register for the initial launch using this link, https://BitNile.com/. Those signing up prior to the launch will be granted a future reward with details to follow.

Tour participants will experience first-hand the dynamic features, ambiance and capabilities of the metaverse platform (the "Platform"), which can readily accept Bitcoin. The Platform is device agnostic and is being developed to enable users to access the Metaverse via the web browser allowing usage on any device such as mobile, tablets, PC's and virtual reality headsets.

Ault Alliance and Ecoark expect the Platform to revolutionize how people interact digitally with a bidirectional connection to the physical world. The Platform will incentivize users through a tiered rewards system supported by a revenue and reward model. Registered users of the Platform will be able to play 3D immersive games, purchase both digital and physical products, experience various forms of entertainment, and engage with a new social networking community across any of their internet connected devices. The Platform will allow users to participate in the Metaverse with unique avatars and customized skins, or digital accessories.

Examples of the digital "in-world" experiences the Platform anticipates making available include slot machines, a sports book, Texas Hold'em tournaments, and various other games of chance using a sweepstakes model. The Platform is expected to have the ability to live-stream concerts and other forms of live entertainment, to create personalized avatars with fan favorite INDYCAR Series driver's jersey and other unique digital skins. The Platform's advertising model is expected to provide detailed targeting, backed by a multi-tiered next-gen reward system that incentivizes behavior. At launch, the Platform will be in beta format or "early access" which denotes not all of the experiences and functionality will be available immediately.

Beyond the virtual, BitNile.com's team of expert experience curators will craft unique real-world adventures, such as events where users will be able to dine with celebrities, go behind the scenes at NYC Fashion Week, explore off-grid Patagonia on horseback, or have naming rights to a stadium.
