METAPOLIS: A new ‘Unique-verse’?
With pollution and corruption taking over our world, I guess it’s time to try and exist somewhere else. Somewhere not too far. Using a combination of virtual reality and decentralized digital art technologies, tech companies and startups are working to create a world where we exist in simulation and perform certain interactive activities. Only difference is, we are not doing this in ‘real’. Remember those games where you’ll have to select an avatar that represents you? this is something similar but once again it’s not just a game.
Facebook has re-branded to Meta in an attempt to reflect its latest and biggest diversification. Just like its social media platforms, Meta will leverage virtual reality and NFT technologies to bring people together; this time in a different and rather bizarre way. Sequel to this re-brand and even before it, they have invested so much resources in what they believe will be the next big thing in human existence. Well, they are not alone in this belief…
Microsoft recently acquired American video game company; Activision Blizzard for over 68 billion dollars, citing plans to dive into the metaverse concept. The new acquisition with form a vital part of the company’s efforts to diversify into the ravaging concept. Over the years, other tech giants including Sony, Apple and search engine platform; Google have continued to work on technologies related to the new (virtual) world.
Metaverse is the next dimension of technology; no, it’s not just another cryptocurrency buzz word. The bubble might last for a while more, but cryptocurrency and mainstream companies are building the next stage of human interaction. A number of cryptocurrency projects have introduced metaverse platforms built on cross chains and L2. These give a hint at what an advanced metaverse could look like.
In the metaverse, you exist in form of your avatar; probably an NFT , operate in a virtual world and interact with other avatars controlled by real humans. You’ll be able to attend (virtual) meetings, games, probably concerts and as well make purchases on the metaverse. If you own a land, you can as well build. It is a collaborative effort to create a world outside ours and hopefully reduce real human-to-human interaction…now I added that myself.
L2 and cross chain metaverses are cool, no doubt. But it’s time for a new experience. A unique-verse. The Metapolis! Built on zilliqa’s superfast L1 and developed by a team with a track record of pace-setting and quality. These words probably sound like a deliberate hype. That wasn’t the intention anyway.
A new experience: The Metapolis!
In a relatively poorly received event in Miami, Zilliqa launched the Metapolis – their much anticipated Metaverse-as-a-service platform. Building up to its release, Zilliqa coin grew five times in value and soared through the charts to top 100. But despite some bad reviews from an obvious minority, Metapolis itself is looking promising, very promising.
Previews of the Metapolis making rounds on the internet shine light on a well-developed universe with efficient facilities for independent participants looking to launch their virtual world on the Metapolis. The Metapolis itself is built to be accommodating and open to an array of companies and individuals looking to dive into the new world.
To develop and maintain this platform, Zilliqa had partnered with a number of web3 projects and digital creators. Together with the current partners, the blockchain project hopes to optimize metaverse experience on Metapolis. Zilliqa’s head of metaverse in a number of number of interviews has shared the thoughts and vision of the project for Metapolis. This includes is a metaverse like no other.
Being the first project to implement the Sharding technology, Zilliqa boasts a super-fast and cheap blockchain. A perfect backbone for a world of possibilities. Metapolis is as well the first Metaverse built on a blockchain’s first layer.
Rumors suggest new and exciting partners and creators ready to jump in and build on the metaverse. If the rumors are true is a probability, but Metapolis is sure to attract credible firms and creators.
The future? Looking good!
Apart from a cute graphics and great potentials, Metapolis is already running a backend that allows efficient things to be built. A supportive community and responsive team are good ingredients to grow a platform. It’s hard to estimate the speed at which Metapolis will grow or how quickly it will be adopted by prominent brands and individual, but a constant growth is all it will take to reach such height.
Zilliqa has designated a team to head Metapolis’ affairs, this team will be instrumental to developments coming to Metapolis in the future. To the moon? Well, the market is irrational but one thing is for sure; we will be heading to the Metapolis…a unique-verse.
