Metaverse

The metaverse is the next generation of the internet. It is better understood as a set of convergent trends than a “product.” The key trends in this generation of the internet are:

• Real-time activity (vs. more informational or transactional applications)

• More playful and immersive—indeed, largely enabled by GameTech

• Powered by a creator economy

• Linking, embedding and loose coupling via (re)decentralization
