Breaking The Cycle Of Subpar Metaverses

Matterverse Beta Launch & Mission Statement

The idea of a metaverse was first popularized by the legendary Matthew Ball. At its basics, a metaverse is a new form of the internet, as it turns the boring and static content of the 2D web into immersive and fun 3D experiences. But a true metaverse is a completely neutral platform owned by everyone inhabiting it, just like the internet, not controlled by a single party or companies. A real metaverse should be where people can be the better versions of themselves and truly connect with people in the virtual world.

However, the concept of a metaverse, or another world, really isn’t new. Humans have long been creating fantasies, epics, and fiction, from the ancient Greeks to George RR Martin to you and me.

We want to create worlds, stories, and legends beyond our ordinary lives, or in a way, our own metaverses.

The issue? We haven’t really had a good way to materialize these fantastic ideas and wild thoughts beyond words and doodles. Metaverse was set to change this; who doesn’t want a Ready Player One style virtual oasis?

The reality is that platforms like The Sandbox or Decentraland are far from the cool and futuristic metaverse we have been promised. It is not like that we don’t have the technology to create awesome virtual worlds. So, what went wrong? People focused too much on trading and not enough on building.

The absolute top priority for metaverse platforms and Web3 as a whole is materializing value. The metaverse can be one of the earliest forms of value-creating. A true metaverse is like a simulation of the real world where people live, spend, play, and work. That creates an economic cycle that creates both supply and demand. That’s why the world deserves a comprehensive metaverse that looks amazing, has awesome gameplay to keep you entertained, and gives you opportunities to work virtually.

What is Matterverse?

Matterverse’s goal is simple, we are solving the problems listed above and building a real web3 native metaverse. We are not building a “Pay-to-win” game, nor Ponzi schemes disguised as a “Play-to-Earn game”. We aim to start a wave of impactful innovation in the metaverse segment and make true metaverse the future of the web as an infrastructure.

Matterverse is combining cutting-edge gaming, cloud, and blockchain technologies to turn what Matthew Ball has predicted into reality earlier than anyone else. We know it will be a journey full of challenges, but we are ready to take on the task with our passionate community.

Our vision is that in the near future, everyone will be able to enter breathtaking metaverses (not just Matterverse) on any of their devices. People will be able to live a virtual life and have more fun than their physical lives or work in the metaverse as a builder, NPCs, performers, etc. One day, we will make metaverses-as-an-amenity through a shared decentralized cloud gaming network.

Join us now as the earliest inhabitant of a true metaverse!

Matterverse is entering our Public Beta. We will release a series of early access NFT assets that you can use in Matterverse, including land, apartment, houses, gear, OAT and more. Matterverse is committed to making all NFTs “usable” and giving NFTs more meaning than just PFPs.

For this beta, we are launching 2 modules of our metaverse:

The first one is our simple but powerful MatterCreator V1.0. It is still in its early form, with more features to come. But You will already be able to build your own personal metaverses on your NFT land, create mini-games & import 3D models and even NFT assets!

The second part is MatterCity Playerhub, the first part of the open world we are creating. The MatterCity will be the heart of our platform, where people can create and deploy unique experiences to every inhabitant in the metaverse through NFT lands. We will be rolling out open-world features such as NFT galleries, clothing shops, player homes, concerts & events, arcades etc.

Participating in Matterverse’s Open Beta will entitle you to a Matterverse Beta Test OAT (On-Chain Achievement Token) NFT & Matterverse Playground land NFT.

Final Note From The Team:

As a Startup, we probably picked the most difficult form of metaverse to build because we want to help people turn their craziest dreams into reality. There should be a metaverse where you can live another life as your better self, make new friends and experiences things that were unimaginable before. There should be a metaverse where people can work and make a genuine living by providing help, service, and ideas to people in need. A real metaverse should take us back to the basic forms of human connections, just like the Web1 era.
