Yachts. Prepare yourself for this annoying but apparently popular new tool. It helps you to bring your attention to Web3. Move over NFT, there’s a new bubble in town.
Emoji have become annoying and empty like some NFTs. Because now, you can buy a “unique sequence” of emoji that could become your Web3 identity. You might (rightfully) scoff at the thought of buying an emoji. But recently, a golden key emoji sold for over $400K.
Yates is as disturbing as it sounds. In short, Yates is a single emoji or multiple emojis at once. When a person purchases a yacht, they can use those yachts as a web identifier. It’s just like buying a web address. But forget to enter multiple alphanumeric characters in the URL. Now, you can type www.diamondindustries.com instead. But that’s only if the web browser supports it. And one now does. Oh dear god, why?
yachts-capable
Opera became the first web browser to enable these emoji-only based web addresses. For the first time in the history of the Internet, users will be able to navigate the web by entering a string of emoji into the URL bar. No letters, words or numbers are required.
The yacht emoji sequence is being called ‘web3 username’. Like NFTs, Yachts promises exclusivity. Only once the company lets you whip up ownership of an individual string of emoji, then you can use it.
And here we are all wondering what the alphabet was for… you know, for pronouncing a name. Now we have to spell things out with emoji?
Yats and Crypto Wallet Connection
People using Opera crypto browser can work with this Yat. It acts as a personal domain and wallet address for the built-in, non-custodial Opera Wallet. Now that you have your personal Yat sequence, it can also be molded as an NFT.
who is responsible for this error
Naveen Jain is the co-founder of Yat. He said that Yat is a new censorship-resistant Internet detection system. “It enables everyone to use a personal string of emoji as their universal username. What if instead of John Smith being 535, someone could be a fire-dragon or kingpin? Or Unicorn Robot Dancer? And what if they could use this one-of-a-kind emoji username to do all the same thing they did with an alphanumeric username? Like sending or receiving money, chatting with friends or building a website? One of the use-cases we are excited about is yachts being used to replace long, cumbersome digital currency addresses. Imagine how beautiful the user experience would be, instead of verifying and testing a complex digital currency address, a user could send money to ‘I love ice cream’.

Opera claims that there are 350 million users of their privacy browser. In 2018, Opera created the first browser with a built-in crypto wallet. And it has Web3 support. They have partnered with Yacht to integrate the emoji system into Opera’s browser on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS.
Yats worth approximately $20m have already been claimed. (claimed not sold… claimed… or perhaps given to celebs in a collab.)
Disclosure ( ) and Lil Wayne ( ) already own their own unique emoji sequences.
If you click on their Yats, you will be taken to their websites.
Jörgen Arneson at Opera said, “It’s been almost 30 years since the world wide web launched to the public, and there hasn’t been much innovation in the weblink space. People still include .com in their URLs. Yat’s Through integration with, Opera users can remove the .com or even the words in their links and just use emoji to direct to websites. It’s new, it’s easier and more fun “
Artists, of course, love a little bit of the self-indulgent Yat shopping. Lil Wayne’s yacht page directs users to their record label, and Steve Aoki (🎂🎵) takes you to his website. c ag (), Kesha (e), and 3LAU (e) use them also.

Naveen says, “Whether you are an artist, musician, producer, business owner, or simply looking to grow your following, this integration is invaluable, making it invaluable for you to connect with your community through your unique string of yachts. Adding and sharing content becomes easy. emoji.”
You can buy these, or move on with your life and pretend you never saw it. Get a wet-wipe for your brain, just in case.
Feel free to be amazed at what good money people would pay for a vanity project. To some people it might smell like a tulip bubble. What is the emoji for Eve? Oh there it is. I
