LOS ANGELES, CA – September 28th, 2023 – The Pet Collective, the TMB brand renowned for its endearing and humorous pet content, has unveiled an innovative Web3 feature enabling users to unlock exclusive video content.

Mitch Liu, Co-Founder and CEO of Theta Labs expressed his enthusiasm, “Integrating Theta’s patented digital rights technology within The Pet Collective website and apps not only demonstrates the versatility and adaptability of our platform but also paves the way for content creators to interact with their audience in novel and meaningful ways.
