Ten Soul Tortures About the Metaverse

Author: ck

In this article, we’ll be discussing some questions you are most concerned about the Metaverse

  1. **Is the metaverse obsolete?
    **To be precise, the virtual real estate of the metaverse is obsolete, but the metaverse itself is a place where people can provide a new way of life and interaction, and everything has just begun. For Web3 mass adoption, Metaverse will play an important role.

**2. Is there still a game in the virtual real estate?It’s hard to say, but there is really no scarcity in virtual real estate!**In the last cycle, the virtual real estate was the main value bearer of the metaverse and the “financing means” of the project party, and the future may not be certain.

3. What is the Metaverse?

Minimalist version: 3D virtual space on the blockchain.

Metaphysical version: a state in which the digital world and the physical world are highly integrated, the ultimate state of human digital survival.

Positive energy version: Metaverse create new ways for people to interact and live on a large scale around the world.

Negative energy version: opium den of human spirit, dystopia of high technology and low life.

4. What exactly is metaverse interoperability?

A set of standard specifications generally adopted by Metaverse projects, involving identities, assets, transactions, scenarios, etc., so that the virtual world is interconnected, users truly own identities and assets, and assets can be freely traded and used.

Interoperability is the biggest inherent problem facing the development of the Metaverse. Without interoperability, the Metaverse remains a “walled garden”.

However, why does Metaverse particularly emphasize/need interoperability, while other fields such as DeFi, NFT, etc. do not emphasize this point. Is it not at that time or does not need interoperability at all? What do you think?

5. What is most important to the Metaverse?

People, spaces, relationships.

People correspond to Avatars, spaces correspond to 3D scenes, and relationships are the connections between people, which is reflected in the sociability of the Metaverse. Metaverse interoperability is essentially a series of solutions formed around these three elements.

6. Can the metaverse really rely on “UGC”?

Judging from the economic status of creators in the Web3 field, it is not enough to support the content generation needs of the Metaverse. It is more likely that PGC will be the mainstay and UGC will be supplemented.

7. Is GameFi Metaverse?

GameFi is DeFi with a game shell, not even a typical game, let alone the Metaverse.

The Metaverse needs “gameplay”, but not games. The game has established goals and tasks, while the Metaverse is an open world for free exploration.

However, the infrastructure in the game field, such as rendering engines and modeling tools, is indeed the infrastructure of the Metaverse.

8. Does the metaverse have to be based on the blockchain?

The identity, assets, and transactions of users in the metaverse must be based on the blockchain.

9. Is there any relationship between Metaverse and DAO?

Both are creating new ways for humans to interact and live on a large scale around the world. Metaverse focuses on experience, and DAO focuses on collaboration.

10. Will the Metaverse move towards “high technology and low life”?

Uncertain. It depends on people’s choices and values, such as how builders shape the metaverse, how users balance the relationship between the virtual world and the real world, and the relationship between matter and mind.
