Immersed Partners with Polygon, Republic Crypto, Everyrealm, & Ready Player Me 🚀

Web3 Giants Co-Developing with a Top VR App to Bring the World’s Economy into the Metaverse

Immersed: The Only VR App Used 40–50hrs/week

Time Magazine, The New Yorker, Wired, Fortune, and many other publications have written about how users work 40+ hrs/week in VR using Immersed. Since Immersed is the only VR app with full-time usage, it’s become the world’s 1st immersive metaverse, similar to Ready Player One:

The opening scene of Ready Player One shows what the metaverse is.

In addition to enabling users to work full-time in VR, Immersed is now enabling people to build businesses in the metaverse, employ people in the metaverse, and transact goods & services in the metaverse too! Thus, we’re putting economic pillars in place (such as digital ownership, digital currency, & digital property) to digitize the world’s economy into the metaverse!

Immersed’s new Metaverse Trailer!

Polygon (Blockchain Infrastructure)

Polygon is the leading blockchain development platform, offering scalable, affordable, secure, and sustainable blockchains for Web3. Its growing suite of products offers developers easy access to major scaling solutions including L2 (ZK Rollups & Optimistic Rollups), sidechains, hybrid, stand-alone, & enterprise chains, and data availability. Polygon’s scaling solutions have seen widespread adoption with 37,000+ decentralized applications hosted,1.94B+ total transactions processed, 164M+ unique user addresses, and $5B+ in assets secured. The network is home to some of the biggest Web3 projects such as Aave, Uniswap, OpenSea, and well-known enterprises including Meta, Stripe, and Adobe. Polygon is carbon neutral with the goal of leading the Web3 ecosystem in becoming carbon negative.

This powerful technology allows Immersed to offer our users the cheapest, fastest, and most secure way to transact with their digital assets (including digital currency & digital property) in an ever-increasing digital world.

One of the most important elements of Immersed’s metaverse will be the ease of use to transact on the platform. That’s what we love the most about Polygon: the backing of a fast & powerful network that offers reduced fees without sacrificing high-speed scalability & security. Each component of Polygon gives us the confidence that our metaverse will be able to support the needs of individuals, communities, and everything in between.

Republic Crypto (Tokenization Firm)

Republic Crypto is one of the world’s leading firms in token design, development, and deployment. Not only do they care deeply about token economics, but they are also connected with industry giants to bring token launches to life. They have successfully launched some of the best-known utility tokens in the cryptocurrency space.

One example is Avalanche ($AVAX), where Republic Crypto helped power the rapid ascent of Avalanche, culminating in a $42 million public token offering within 5 hours! Republic Crypto designed their tokenomics and technical documentation for $AVAX, made multiple introductions leading to a successful capital raise with participation from Polychain & a16z, and helped the $AVAX listing on Binance post-offering.

Immersed & Republic Crypto will be working together to release a utility token that will be the world’s first “Work&Earn” token, where users are rewarded for being productive in VR in different metaverse locations. This will also allow users to unlock certain features and acquire additional digital assets (virtual real estate, attire, decor, etc.) in an engaging and secure way.

Everyrealm (Virtual Real Estate Firm)

Everyrealm is one of the world’s most successful Virtual Real Estate investment/development firms with the most amount of virtual real estate assets under management. They were spun out from Republic and have gone on to become leaders in the metaverse real estate market. Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures, and other prominent investors have poured a total of $60 million into the firm.

Everyrealm raised $60M with Andreessen-Horowitz, Coinebase Ventures, and others.

Since Everyrealm has been one of the veteran players in this space, they have become savvy in virtual real estate strategy beyond novice investors. This has enabled Everyrealm to acquire the highest value lots the metaverse has to offer. You can see their logo everywhere when logging into The Sandbox or Decentraland metaverse map.

Everyrealm’s team has also become masters of virtual real estate economics. So as Immersed launches its first public vProperty sale (which EveryRealm will be buying up a portion of), they will be working with Immersed to come up with virtual real estate incentive structures, launch strategies, and impactful growth campaigns to make sure that the virtual real estate investors in Immersed’s metaverse win out in the end, as they work with partners like SandStorm to get their vProperty developed.

An example of what Immersed’s vProperty Deeds look like on OpenSea.

Ready Player Me (Metaverse Identity Platform)

Ready Player Me (RPM) is one of the most popular avatar platforms that launched in May 2020 and has rapidly scaled to 3,000+ customers across the metaverse. In Q1 2021, RPM enabled Immersed to become cross-platform in Q1 2021 with ease, bringing Immersed to other VR platforms beyond Oculus. RPM’s stylistic avatars give users a way to be expressive and feel present with others from all around the world no matter what hardware they’re using!

ReadyPlayerMe raised $72M to date with Andreessen-Horowitz & other world-reknown investors.

Ready Player Me is setting the standard for interoperable metaverse identities. They care about users’ desire for flexibility, security, and expression. Their avatars are represented in applications in everything from enterprise all the way to gaming first-person shooters.

As digital identity continues to become more 1-to-1 with peoples’ IRL (in real life) identities, and as brands start selling their products as digital assets powered by RPM’s Web3 vision, Immersed will work alongside them to distribute avatar flair and other assets that users want to exchange & own as the world’s economy continues to transition more and more into the metaverse.

Whether we like it or not, the world is becoming increasingly more and more digitized.
