METAVERSE
The metaverse refers to a virtual universe or digital realm where people can interact with each other and the environment in real time, typically through virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), or a combination of both. It is an immersive and interconnected space that leverages blockchain technology and other innovative technologies to create a decentralized and secure environment. In the metaverse, a shared value is created between the virtual space and the real world, and it allows for the establishment of new monetary and financial systems based on blockchain technology. This enables the secure management and verification of digital assets, identities, and transactions within the metaverse. By integrating blockchain, the metaverse provides transparency, trust, and the potential for the development of unique economic ecosystems and digital economies. The metaverse is often envisioned as a vast and evolving network of interconnected virtual worlds, applications, and experiences that can be accessed and experienced by individuals through various devices and platforms.
