On the sidelines of these conferences and round tables, the entire city of Auxerre is also switching to Web3 time, with more than 40 merchants who will accept Bitcoin (BTC) thanks to the Lightning Network.

The initiative, carried out in collaboration with the CryptoXR team, aims to raise awareness among the public and professionals about the practical use of cryptocurrencies. It will therefore be possible to pay for your meal in cryptocurrencies, treat yourself to a few gifts as you stroll through the streets of Auxerre, and even get a tattoo. Through this process, Auxerre demonstrates its desire to become the essential reference for crypto in France.
While this great first in France offers a welcome spotlight on the use cases of cryptocurrenciesit will be interesting to see how the initiative continues over time.

Since 2021, I have devoted my free time to seriously educating myself on cryptocurrencies in order to acquire maximum knowledge and credibility. I often have the opportunity to conduct interviews with influential figures in the blockchain industry. I also conduct in-depth analyzes on Web3 themes to offer exclusive content to Cryptoast readers.
