Much like e-commerce revolutionized websites in the present day, the metaverse is poised to revolutionize the way we conduct business and grow the community in the near future.

Key Announcements

We are thrilled to announce that in March, Metaverse.Network Pioneer enabled decentralized governance. As a result, all NEER holders can now actively participate in community decisions that will shape the future direction of our project.

The first proposal is LIVE and ready for your vote now. The key point of this proposal is to allow our community members to decide if a bridge should be developed to enable the cross-chain transfer of Kaosland Land NFTs. If the referendum passes, the first bridge will be with Ethereum. To date.

397 community members have already voted! Thank you!

Community members can use on-chain governance to suggest changes to the ecosystem by submitting a public proposal. All proposals are ranked in a queue that descends in order depending on the amount of NEER contributed to each proposal. At the end of the launch period, only the top-ranked proposal will automatically move to become a referendum.

During the referendum, the community members can vote to support (Aye) or reject (Nay) the proposal. If the voting favours the proposal at the end of the voting period, it will be enacted immediately. However, if the voting is against the proposal, it will be archived.

We are thrilled to have reached this milestone, and we would like to encourage everyone to join the discussion and cast their vote here.

Tip of the Month

How to Customize your Metaverse with the Skybox Feature

Metaverse owners can customize their metaverse’s environment by changing the skybox. A skybox is used in the metaverse to create the illusion of a three-dimensional environment by surrounding the player’s field of view with a large, static image that represents the sky and distant scenery.

Customizing your skybox in a Bit.Country metaverse is easy. To start, activate the build mode when you arrive in your metaverse. Once you’re in build mode, select the environment option from the build menu. From there, you can try out and choose from one of our presets to create the perfect skybox for your metaverse.

For a more personalized experience, creatives can upload their custom skybox. This requires uploading six static images corresponding to the up, down, left, right, back, and front geometries. By doing so, you can create your unique skybox that perfectly fits your vision for your metaverse. A minor fee of 0.04 BIT(Spot) is required to save your custom skybox.

Skyboxes can set your metaverse’s theme and advertise events or convey messages to your audience.

You can try out changing the skybox for FREE in our Sandpit today. Try it here.
