Web3 media consultant Digital Distro removes web3 from services as bear market trudges on

Quick Take

  • Digital Distro, a media consulting firm, used to provide clients instructions on how to incorporate crypto into their entertainment experiences. 
  • The firm will remove all blockchain-based consulting until the crypto industry becomes more stable. 

Digital Distro, which describes itself as a full service web3 consulting company, intends to remove web3 from its roster of consulting services. 

The web3 services Digital Distro offered included education on the crypto market and ways for clients to incorporate blockchain-based products into their projects to create a "digital media experience." However, the firm will not pursue any projects that incorporate NFTs, blockchain or crypto until the industry becomes more stable. It's one of the first firms to cut web3 products after the bear market and legal maelstrom of 2022. 

"Given that the NFT and crypto space is still early on its development and has been filled with uncertainty, we feel that it is in the best interest of our shareholders to focus on film, music, and brand influence," Digital Distro CEO Andrew Lane said in a release.
