Users who wish to submit an NFT for integration will go to the official website and from there they will input the slug for the collection they want to add, past in the contract address of the project, and the API of the avatar. From there the team will review the submission and if approved users will be able to use their submitted avatar in the project's metaverse.
Also added was the ability to change the scale of the avatar, the animation speed of the avatar, and decide whether it "walks bounces or floats."
