metaverse examples
Second Life
One of the first metaverse examples is found in Second Life, the first metaverse case that was launched in 2003. It is a platform that allows you to have a second life, through the creation of an avatar.
This 3D virtual world allows the created avatars to socialize, learn and do business through the control given by the users.
decentraland
Decentraland, a project that is established through the Ethereum blockchain, whose purpose is that users can operate as they do in the physical world.
We can say that it works as a virtual reality platform, which will allow users to buy, sell, or manage a virtual property.
Two cryptocurrencies work in it, based on the Ethereum network, which are:
MANNA
LAND
MANA works as a currency of exchange, and LAND is the name given to NFTs, which represent property.
The Sandbox
And finally, we can find SANBODX, a virtual world where the user can buy and sell digital properties, and other assets, using metaverse currencies called SAND.
On this platform, the user will be able to sell, bet, and cancel their virtual plots. With The Sandbox, you will be able to use the metaverse through the philosophy of “play to win”.
Video game metaverse: which ones exist?
The possibilities within the metaverse are endless, and in it we cannot fail to mention video games.
Among the most popular video games that stand out within this virtual world, are:
Axis Infinity
This is a play-to-earn, which allows players the opportunity to generate income. Depending on the toys, and the market price, a player can earn approximately between $200 and $1,000.
In the case of Axie, this does not provide a 3D character, but it does offer similar work to the metaverse. In some countries it is used as a form of employment.
The sandbox
Another of the games that have been quite famous within this virtual world is the Sandbox; is a platform that allows users to buy or build buildings on land, and then sell them in the NFT, or Open Sea, markets.
The native cryptocurrency is SAND. Through this, the virtual economy is promoted, in aspects such as the purchase, or sale, of land and plots.
Dalarnia Mines
It is an adventure game, which seeks to take players deep into the mines.
For this game the participant must have a tactical ability, which allows him to fight and get resources, and equipment that helps improve skills.
mobox
This virtual platform that is combined with NFTs, has the objective that the user can fight, cultivate and generate rewards, in order to market their earnings, and use them as collateral in the Mobox metaverse.
The success of these video games and the metaverse is undoubtedly the reward and financial incentives that users receive.
Horizon Worlds
Available for the United States and Canada only; Horizon Worlds is a game created by Meta. In this virtual world, players can access with virtual reality glasses, and within it they will be able to walk with their avatars, and interact with other people.
Particularly this game is far from blockchain technology, and cryptocurrencies.
The Facebook Metaverse
Mark Zuckerberg has taken the first step to venture into this new virtual reality. His goal is to change the Facebook user experience, and bring it to a more attractive reality for the new generations.
This futuristic proposal known as the metaverse of Facebook, proposes in the first place to change the physical world, towards a virtual world. Zuckerberg’s intention revolves around the power to teleport.
Without a doubt, the evolutions of these social connections is what has allowed the metaverse to be so successful. Day after day new technologies are created and worked on that will allow the virtual community to connect to and explore the metaverse.
