THE METAVERSE.
Many throw the term around with little understanding of its nature - few are the folks who’ve chosen to help build it.
To be clear - the "Metaverse" is not a singular place, location, or game environment, but more of an interoperability standard that allows data, identity & content to flow seamlessly between networks.
Nevertheless, certain players are better positioned than others to create worlds immersive & engaged enough to attract users at scale. Besides the well-known efforts from Yuga Labs, the team behind Bored Ape Yacht Club & The Otherside, the most developed connected ecosystem comes from Futureverse & Non-Fungible Labs, the teams behind Fluf World & Altered State Machine. Other candidates that come to mind include Aku World, the team behind Akutars, & AMGI, the team behind My Pet Hooligan. For that very reason I've invested into these ecosystems through various NFT acquisitions. (NFA - DYOR)
While easy to see the front facing progress, its rare to get a glimpse at whats running under the hood or where things are heading.
Today’s guest is one of the rare individuals privy to much of the behind the scenes work involved in such projects, helping build & design APE coin & its native staking protocol.
