MetaVerse | CryptoCity
Starting from the early fantasy of establishing a liberal utopia, Silicon Valley has always received technological proposals that seem to have a bright future but have never been realized. The popularity of MetaVerse in Silicon Valley is much higher than what you perceive on social media now, and there is even such a saying, “As long as your project carries the word‘MetaVerse’ in Silicon Valley, funds will chase after you right away.”

MetaVerse is a fusion of Internet applications and social forms. It provides immersive experience based on VR and AR, generates a mirror image of the real world based on digital twin technology, and builds an economic system based on blockchain technology, allowing community members to contribute content to the ecosystem. It first appeared in 1992 and described a “virtual reality” in the sci-fi work [Avalanche] of American writer Neil Stephenson. This is not the Internet in the traditional sense, but a 3D digital space closely related to real life, a parallel time and space. “Using blockchain, AR/VR, etc. to create a virtual space, by creating a civilization and user identity similar to the real society, to enhance the authenticity of this virtual world.”
In 2003, the American Internet company LindenLab proposed “Second Life”, 3D virtual community can be regarded as an important milestone in the development of the MetaVerse field. In 2021, Roblox, as the first stock of MetaVerse, included the concept of “MetaVerse” in its prospectus for the first time.
The mature MetaVerse lacks digital infrastructure, terminal equipment, content, economic system, etc. The future data center will be the engine of the MetaVerse, and some projects are trying to build MetaVerse servers and data centers. Huaan Securities has disassembled the overall composition and cost of VR. From the perspective of composition, it is divided into: head-mounted display, controller (handle), and positioning base station (or). Among them, the head-mounted display completes the interaction of VR audio and video, system management and upgrades, image encoding and decoding, etc. The controller is the interaction method between the player and the virtual world (similar to a PC mouse), and the positioning device is used to recognize the player’s spatial orientation in real time. The MetaVerse can be understood like this:
- Entrance: VR, AR, MR, brain-computer interface
- Infrastructure: 5G, computing power, Cloud, blockchain
- Procuction:AI
Crypto City
MetaVerse is an interactive, immersive scenario network where hardware and software work together. In a recent article [Crypto City], Vitalik proposed to combine NFT, DAO, ChainCoin, etc. to create a city with on-chain records for anti-corruption. We will tentatively understand it as a “digital city governed with DAO coins”. If such a social experiment can be successful, it must first be realized in the MetaVerse, because from infrastructure to economic system to content creation is realized through DAO, NFT, and ChainCoin in the MetaVerse.
MetaVerse currently needs to open the market and penetrate into Internet users by:
- encapsulate resources downward, sink complexity to the infrastructure layer, and accelerate the decoupling between applications and infrastructure resources;
- support applications upward, make those developers pay more attention to business value.
The MetaVerse has a high degree of sociality. Individuals have complete identities and social relationships. Games only shape the world view, but the MetaVerse endows social relationships. A crypto city is a city where the social economy is coordinated through DAO, currency-holding governance and production, and assets are marked by NFT. It can move shopping, office, and shows online, and this happens to be the MetaVerse social vision proposed by Meta(Facebook) recently.
VoiceVerse
Pizzap is a NFT+DeFi trading platform, developed and owned by DAO members. Their ecosystem content is also provided by the organization. Pizzap is also committed to building MetaVerse by creating VoiceNFT, that is, using voice cloning technology and blockchain to mark the value and copyright of voice works. The first series of VoiceNFT will be created during the IVO process (with PNFT staked). Voice works of 99 celebrities and 900 ordinary people will join the [999 Human Voices] plan, released online, and traded on Pizzap 2.0.
As more and more members join PizzapDAO, Pizzap’s VoicePool will gradually become richer and become VoiceVerse. The platform will also start to create a content ecosystem from VoiceWork, like creating a role for each voice, writing a story, giving an identity, and even connecting multiple voices to a social network and so on. In the future, Pizzap will also shift from a comprehensive NFT trading platform to an ecologically complete virtual world, including virtual communities and virtual cities, or can also be understood as Crypto Cities.
