NFT Paris at the "Grande Halle de la Villette"
On February 13th and 14th, NFT Paris took over the Grande Halle de la Villette, and let me tell you—it was two incredible days! I’m Thybow, and I had the amazing opportunity to attend alongside Fabio and GodGiven. Get ready for a full recap, just as if you were there with us!
Thursday morning, 9 AM sharp, we were at the entrance, tickets in hand. I met up with Fabio, and our first stop? The cafeteria, of course! ☕ (A caffeine boost was essential to power through the day!). After that, we jumped straight into exploring the booths, and wow—there were some big names there.
Our dream team - Thybow & Fabio.
I know you’re curious 👀, so here you go: Ubisoft was showcasing their Web3 game Champions Tactics (available on Ultra 💜), Decimated, with whom we had a fascinating discussion about Ultra Games, and BadMad Robots, which is already well-established on Ultra 🔥. And of course, plenty of other exciting studios that definitely deserve a mention!
What’s wild is that out of the ten or so game studios at the event, two already had their games on Ultra, and several others were already familiar with the platform. Some had even been in contact with the Ultra team for potential listing 👀. Let’s just say, Ultra is making waves!
After this fast-paced first tour, we stopped to chat with the Champions Tactics team, particularly about the French regulations that are still holding back blockchain gaming a bit… And that’s when GodGiven joined us! Big moment—none of us had ever met in real life before. And after spending two entire days together, I can confirm that GodGiven and Fabio are absolute legends, even cooler in person than they are online 💜.

We continued our tour together, talking with other studios and gaming-related companies. Our goal? Introduce Ultra, discuss tech, and understand the needs of studios. Special shoutout to GodGiven, who has an insane ability to connect with everyone and highlight the advantages of Ultra Games and Ultra Arena!

While roaming around, surprise! We bumped into Gus (Ultra’s new CEO!). A quick chat later, we made sure to capture the moment with a photo 😋. But he wasn’t the only one we met! So many of you came to see us, and honestly—thank you all! 💜. Among the crowd were Jo, Jocelin, and many others (too many to remember all your names, my bad 😂). And of course, most of you left with some Ultra merch: t-shirts, polos, caps, mugs (which, by the way, look amazing 🤩), pens… all neatly packed in an Ultra tote bag, of course!

Lunch break? Nope! We kept going, visiting booths until 4 PM, when it was time for Gus’ conference. Thanks to our videos on X, you could follow it almost live. His talk on AI and blockchain was top-tier. And yes, he gave a shoutout to Ultra and @AshesOfMankind_! 😎 Super smooth, professional, and impactful.

After that, we had a quick debrief with Gus, took a break outside (needed some air!), and met with Sami Chlagou, who had a great conversation with GodGiven—and even gifted him a really cool collectible card 😌.
Then, at 6 PM, it was time to head to the boat for the Metavisio x Ultra side event! After a solid hour stuck in Parisian traffic, we finally arrived—and wow! The boat was stunning, featuring Metavisio - Thomson x Ultra roll-ups, and the first guests were already arriving.

The evening was all about networking, insightful discussions, and a delicious buffet (not to mention the Thomson x Ultra-inspired cocktails 🍹). Gus and Stephan Français delivered a speech—you’ll probably catch snippets of it soon on Ultra’s official channels.
After this unforgettable night, we finally got some well-deserved rest before jumping into day two!
Friday: More Connections, More Visibility
Day two, let’s go! The focus was mainly on follow-ups with studios from the day before and keeping the momentum going. Plus, we made sure to engage on social media to maximize Ultra’s visibility.
If you caught the live stream of @AshesOfMankind_’s roadmap announcement, you saw Gus speaking live from NFT Paris while GodGiven showcased the Ubisoft and BadMad Robots booths. And big news: BadMad Robots just got a massive update! It’s dropping this month, and trust me—you need to check it out 🔥.
At 6 PM, the event officially wrapped up—but were we heading home? Not yet! Off to Pigalle and the 17-45, famous for its French wine and charcuterie/cheese boards 😌. We had the best time catching up with the community, sharing great conversations, and even discussing the idea of hosting regular Ultra meetups (monthly or quarterly—we’ll see!). And, of course, GodGiven made sure everyone left with more Ultra merch 😎.

NFT Paris 2025 was the perfect opportunity to showcase Ultra to the world and connect with amazing projects and companies. Everything we saw confirmed what we already knew: Ultra is shaping up to be the Netflix of Gaming. It’s not just talk—it’s real, and you’ll see it unfold in the coming months! 😉
