Walled Garden

A walled garden is a domain within the metaverse that allows people to create content according to a specific set of rules, permissions and tools.

These environments typically offer user-friendly tools and access to substantial audiences. However, platforms generally retain a significant portion of creator revenue in exchange for these benefits.

Most prominent Web 2.0 platforms operate as walled gardens and are expected to maintain power during the metaverse era. Their counterparts are open platforms.
