EOS is one of the major high performing blockchains that has been battle tested over 3+ years with sub-second latency, high throughput, and a robust permission system that can enable applications that aren’t even fathomable to build using any other technology. EOS is attractive because of its technology and its community and therefore EOS’s high scalability and performance has resulted in a slew of metaverse platforms dropping on the EOS blockchain.

So, let’s take a look at the hottest metaverse platforms on EOS :

#1 — UPLAND

Upland is creating a virtual property trading game based on real-world addresses. Described by the media as “Monopoly on the blockchain” , Upland allows players to buy, trade, collect and sell virtual properties. True ownership of all digital assets is the core value proposition of the game and is made possible by the use of blockchain technology. Each property in the Upland metaverse is represented as a non-fungible token (NFT) on the EOS blockchain, ensuring true ownership to the player.

In later versions of the game, people will be able to build upon their land and develop virtual locations

It is the earth’s metaverse mapped to the real world and it can be accessed via web, iOS and Android. In addition, there is a “real economy” that is sustained by the players via the market forces of supply and demand. Upland is built on the basis of three key pillars: Play, Earn, & Connect. Upland’s mission is to bring the benefits of blockchain technology to mass audiences through gamified experiences.

Upland is a game that appeals to a variety of players, driven by different motivations:

  1. Owning the same property in both real-life and Upland, or being able to own virtual luxury properties that would be impossible to acquire in real-life
  2. Trading, negotiating and dealing with properties
  3. Satisfaction in completing collections
  4. Fun-to-play location-based experiences
  5. Appreciation of collectibles within the game, similar to real-life collectibles and limited-edition art
  6. Participation in a parallel economy where decentralised transactions between stakeholders enable a complete new type of value creation and exchange

Upland is one of the top ten games in popularity, currently ranking number five on Dappradar with around fifty thousand daily users.

#2 — BLOCKCHAIN CUTIES

Blockchain Cuties is a collectible crypto game with adventures where you can play with puppies, lizards, bear cubs, cats and other real and fantasy creatures alike.

The game takes place in Cutieland, a world that mirrors Earth in many ways, but evolves differently, according to its own rules. It’s a world of adventure that is populated by mysterious little creatures called Cuties. It’s a place of many epochs and timelines blended together into a unique and vivid setting — a land waiting to be explored. Each cutie is unique and 100% belongs to you. You can collect them, breed them, test their skills in battles, arm them and even level them up! Cuties can be either Normal or Noble. Nobility not only provides additional adventure bonuses vs normal Cuties but also reserved as a requirement for new late game mechanics, such as land ownership and army leadership. Presence of various genes, colours and background combinations makes each descendant cutie one of a kind. You can even start a high-born bloodline if you’re lucky. Besides gene pool, each Cutie differs by a variety of parameters : generation, breeding speed, adventuring frequency, animal species, level and available gear. Surprising breeding mutations can result in unique characters that are inspired by real-world pets-celebrities! In-game economy lets you trade cuties using smart contracts on the blockchain. Each cutie, which is an NFT, can be transferred or sold to other players just like a regular cryptocurrency on the blockchain.

Blockchain Cuties internally developed wallet allows you to play the crypto game in every modern web browser out there. This game has won many awards including the #1 Crypto game in Crypto Games Conference 2018.

#3— PROSPECTORS

This exciting game of strategy gives players endless opportunities to earn crypto gold by utilising blockchain technology.

And if the real life throws multiple obstacles on your way, Prospectors reality will let you build the winning strategy and gain what you desire.

Or you can build your own business step by step, hire workers, improve your craft, develop the community inside the game, and influence the Prospectors governance. These are only two ways out of the multitude, and only you can decide which course is perfect for you.

Prospectors is the first of its kind MMO dApp, economic strategy, and crypto game, where you can find own way and reach your goals. This blockchain dApp will let you try yourself in business development during the Gold Rush Epoque and building your social network. The main features include :
