An ‘Open Metaverse’ protects each individual’s data on the blockchain from unpaid exploitation. By delivering real value through property rights, earning capability, and peer-to-peer connectivity, the ‘Open Metaverse’ offers a supportive environment that is already attracting many new users. Decentraland is a good example of a more mature metaverse that contains many community-run elements: while sometimes appearing to be wild and chaotic, it is still fresh enough to sustain its appeal after several years in operation.
