In this article, I will tell you the ways to get metaverse NFTs. IT IS NOT A CALL TO ACTION, ONLY INFORMATION! BE WISE! Nevertheless, you will get to know what is NFT, what is the difference between NFT and metaverse NFT, and other useful answers to. There are a lot of metaverse NFTs, but I decided to tell you about Dojos. This example can be useful for you.

What is NFT?

NFT = Non-Fungible Token

Let’s explain it word-by-word:

Fungible — means a not unique item, that can be replaced by another unit of the kind.
Token — the thing that represents a physical, intellectual or emotional object; can be used to be exchanged for these or other objects.
Non-Fungible — unique object: it is the only one of a kind.

So, NFT, even if it has “token” in its name, it is an opposite to the token we are used to knowing. Non-fungible token is a unique item and can’t be exchanged for any other NFT, but to be bought for cryptocurrency, stored as a collecting item or created, of course. [Source]

You can ask me: “What is the practical use of NFT?” Theory, without examples, are not that useful, right?

Everything Non-fungible can be represented by NFT. For example, digital art, video, music, stories, etc. But not only digital, physical too! Of course, it can’t be turned into digital itself, but the documents, that represent the object can be digitalized.

“Some people treat them like they’re the future of fine art collecting (read: as a playground for the mega-rich), and some people treat them like Pokémon cards (where they’re accessible to normal people but also a playground for the mega-rich).” [Source]

Every NFT has its unique number encrypted in a blockchain network. To buy NFT, you should have cryptocurrency of the chain it is stored in.

What is Metaverse?

But today I have another topic to talk. This is Metaverse. Remember that emotional article in my blog? Here it is: Meta World. MetaDojo inspired me! | by Val Savchuk | Medium.

But that was more about “why?” question, not “what?” Right now, I’ll be short, but that will be enough to go on discussion about metaverse NFTs.

“The metaverse is a concept of an online, 3D, virtual space connecting users in all aspects of their life” [Source]

When we are talking about metaverse, I remember myself playing The Sims — a video game, a life simulator. Will The Sims 5 be a real metaverse?

But not only for gaming purposes! Metaverse is the space that can be used to simulate real life experience at work, party, shopping, travelling, anything. Nevertheless, it started with video games. For example, virtual events in game called Roblox (Twenty One Pilots Tour Debut last October), or Travis Scott’s in-game music tour in Fortnite.

There is still a lot of work to be done, before the real Metaverse is created. But why blockchain and Web3 are concerned? They stand for trustless, decentralized environment, which is extremely important for the real life, and so, for the virtual one too.

“Zuckerberg has explicitly mentioned his plans to use a metaverse project to support remote work and improve financial opportunities for people in developing countries.” [Source]

Some day I will write more about Metaverse, but let’s get back to NFT.

Metaverse NFTs

I have read articles that compare Metaverse and NFT, but I do not really think these are comparable subjects in blockchain.

I would look at the topic from my point of view. Is it right? Tell me in comments.

Metaverses are full of digital assets, that can be represented in the form of NFTs. Nevertheless, I think the whole Metaverse can be represented as NFT, isn’t it? Thus, instead of talking about comparison, we should examine the union of Metaverse and NFT.

NFT in metaverse are used to [Source]:

Transfer real-life assets into virtual world
Secure property and value
Become a proof of the activities or state.
Obtain ownership of virtual or physical spaces.
Marketing tool.
Identity documents, that can provide additional access or control.

Examples of Metaverse NFTs can be the virtual land, house, avatar, closes, avatar possibilities etc.

How to become an owner?

There are few simple steps:

Step 1. Find the NFT you want.

Step 2. Find the marketplace, or an owner, who stores it.

Step 3. Get cryptocurrency you need for purchasing.

Step 4. Buy.

Easy? Not that easy as it looks from above. The real difficulties start with the first step! What do you want? To support the project, to collect something you just appreciate or valuable? To earn from trading? In accordance with the main aim, the search can be more or less complex. As you may already understand — to buy smth you like that is stored in the marketplace. To trade is the hardest, as I see it. [Source]

THIS ARTICLE IS NOT A CALL TO ACTION! BE WISE!

Here are a few ways to find and obtain ownership of NFTs:

NFT marketplace

“If you want in on the NFT craze, an NFT marketplace is your gateway to participating in the purchase and sale of these digital assets — from art to music to entire virtual worlds.” [Source]

Here are top marketplaces in the industry: OpenSea, Axie, Larva Labs/CryptoPunks, NBA Top Shot Marketplace, Rarible, etc.

NFT Drops

A great way to invest into NFT is to take part into NFT Drop event. Why? If the project is outstanding, the price for its NFTs will be the cheapest just in time of NFT Drop.

Right, I haven’t told you what is NFT Drop! It is an exact time when NFTs are presented on the marketplace, and the very first chance to buy them. But remember, if the project won’t stand the competition in the industry, NFTs can become cheaper than initial rate. [Source]

NFT as a reward

The least reliable, but a chance to own NFT, is to win in giveaways and ambassador programs. [Source]

MetaDojo startup

The one of the NFT startups I am waiting for is MetaDojo — the great example for today’s article.

“Designer 3D Spaces Ready for your Website & Metaverse” [MetaDojo]

With great team, outstanding spaces are developed for various purposes. These spaces are called Dojos. They are ready-to-use, personalized and created with limitless metaverse passion.

There already is an exceptional library of dojos, but I will tell you about one I have visited for several times, and studied good enough to have an own opinion: Meta Bloom.

Meta Bloom

MetaDojo is hosting Web 3.0 Disruptors Week, and for the purpose a wonderful space was developed. It can be a place to host a conference, as the past event, or public talks, concerts, etc. But this dry words can’t demonstrate the real experience. Thus, I will say some more and show more.

Here are some screenshots:

And the video, I think you will like it!

MetaBloom brings a fantasy to life, but with the real use. I want to point up the way it represents speakers, sponsors, display video. On the one hand, all information is easy to watch / read. On the other — it has the sense of a huge stadium event. Event the silent location with now events inside bring the feeling of some concert!

Nevertheless, this is my first Metaverse experience beyond video games. This is why my words can be subjective. Oh, they are subjective! But I am he human, after all (as the music says).

Do you think I should start reviewing some metaverse NFTs? Only my subjective opinions, of course :)

Conclusion

Let’s summarize everything in short. The NFT can be anything digital or identity document of a physical item. Metaverse is full of NFTs that influence real life experience and financial operations inside. NFTs bring blockchain concepts into metaverses. This is how I see it. Am I right?

However, Metaverse NFTs as other NFTs can be an art object too. They bring beauty to physical and virtual reality. Any piece of art should be seen by someone who will care.
