The metaverse has been a hot topic in recent years, with many projects working on creating truly decentralized virtual worlds. However, the open metaverse realm is still hard to enter and navigate. Traditional platforms and marketplaces struggle to facilitate the trade of assets specific to these worlds - such as digital lands - because they are designed to accommodate all types of assets rather than the mechanisms specific to these experiences.
That's why we are excited to launch Metahood, the open metaverse portal, and our $3m seed round led by 1confirmation. Other notable partners who participated in this round include Volt Capital, Flamingo DAO, Neon DAO, SĂ©bastien Borget (The Sandbox), John Crain (SuperRare), Brian O'Hagan (Sorare), Packy McCormick (NotBoring) and more whose expertise will help us achieve our ambitious roadmap.
Our vision
Our vision is to make the open metaverse more accessible, interoperable, and easy to navigate. Our first goal is to build the go-to platform for trading digital real estate. Trading real estate is different from trading other types of digital assets. When it comes to real estate, context is important. We believe that people should be able to make more informed decisions when trading land, rather than just considering the floor price or rarity of the asset. It is currently difficult to obtain information such as the location, surroundings, and nearby landmarks of digital land. We have made it easy.
Metahood is specifically designed for trading digital real estate and includes interactive maps for popular metaverses such as The Otherside, The Sandbox, Decentraland, and more coming soon™. We provide all the context and information you need to make informed decisions when buying or selling land, and we provide aggregated liquidity from across the largest marketplaces including OpenSea, LooksRare, Sudoswap and others.
The road ahead
We have an ambitious roadmap that goes beyond just land trading. We still have a lot to ship and would love to build it with you.
