Metaverses are end user experiences where people can engage with each other in some form. This could be in an interactive game, a concert style experience or a formal meeting/workplace.
The will be one of the major applications to be built on top of the Somnia chain and protocol. MSquared has already supported many high profile public events using its origin platform for partners such as Kosmopop (Twice), MLB and Edison.
These projects are all on the MSquared Network and an ambition of the Somnia project is to use MSquared as a channel for rapid adoption of the protocol and blockchain, these projects are examples of the potential reach we could achieve.
Project Edison - Web3 gaming metaverse. Working with the famous web3 influencer Board Elon Musk Improbable is co-creating a web3 gaming metaverse. Events have varied from minecraft style crafting experiences to large scale races for crypto prizes. Attracting 100’s of consumers to each event and allowing people to be their web3 selves.
Kosmopop - Twice album launch event. Improbable partnered with Universal music to create an album launch event with Twice. Twice fans were able to listen to the new album and interact in a large virtual space.
Victory league - A football focused metaverse. The virtual home of football fandom. Victory league hosts large scale events connecting football fans with influencers and their favourite stars. They have hosted soccer match watch events and meet and greats with football superstars.
The virtual baseball metaverse with a virtual ballpark at the centre of it. Improbable has partnered with MLB to do several events. One of which created a digital replica of a baseball game in real-time allowing fans to be at the game virtually.
Collections
Collections are NFT collections that import themselves onto the Somnia protocol. This will then allow them to be associated with interoperable objects/avatars which can be used across experiences. The range of types of collections is quite large but here are some examples:
PFP projects - BAYC, Pudgy penguins, Forgotten Runes
Existing metaverse collections - Sandbox, Decentraland collections
Placeable objects - Runestones, EtherRocks
The browser would be a universal front end which users can use to browse metaverses and mapps on the network. Somnia is building a first party browser, but we imagine a future with a competitive market where anyone can build a browser (similar to game distribution or web3 wallets).
There is already a first browser that is part of the network called the
Profile viewers are a class of applications that allow users to view themselves, the items they own and their friends. These are similar to Steam accounts but based on on-chain data. We envision these would often be built into the metaverse browser but there could also be Mapps that browsers hook into.
