2021–2023

We are aiming to become the first mobile metaverse application. Our goal is to combine best in class social features, augmented reality, and true decentralized ownership to re-imagine what a social network can be. Our goal is to reach over 1,000,000 MAUs over the next five years while we build for the release of Apple AR glasses. To achieve this, we will be working on:

  1. THE ISLAND
Explorable Augmented Reality Island
  • Our metaverse Island will be characterized in large part by the ability to visit branded XONES from top musicians and artists. These will be located in the “partner” sections on the map above. We see entertainment and media as a key value add in our ecosystem. Here you’ll be able to buy collectibles, POAPS, and ultra rare XONE items which can be purchased with the $XONE token. We see this as the digital equivalent of buying merchandise at a physical event.
  1. Social Network: We want to re-imagine what a social network can be.
  • Community XONES are explorable augmented reality spaces which offer various communities the ability to interact in an immersive way. We see these as a combination of a Discord channel, Clubhouse discussion, Twitter Spaces and Youtube Premiere combined in one.
  • The Profile: We want to re-imagine the relationship between a creator and their profile. XONES are the immersive equivalent of your instagram, tik tok and linkedin profiles but fully integrated into a web3 world. Imagine being able to show off collectibles across blockchain, sports, and music while having the added ability of sharing those passions in a 3D space.
  • Existing social features: discovery, home feed, chat, follow, like and comment will all persist in the XAPP
  • $XONE token: A token driven ecosystem which rewards top participation and engagement within our platform.

2. Creator tools: Our vision is to build a robust set of creator tools which can be used to grow your XONE and build around it. The most visited and viewed XONES will have the benefit of being more visible in our app discovery feed, allowing those owners to profit from increased interaction and rent out their XONE for art showcase, events and more.

3. Marketplace: The XONE ecosystem will include NFT drops across land parcels (XONES) aswell as Avatars, Pets, and various collectibles which have utility in our metaverse. The marketplace will be used to discover and trade collectibles across the XONE ecosystem.

4. Gameplay: Our mobile application will improve to include gameplay style activities and provide incentives for players to explore and participate in the economic loop (Create, Trade, Play), fostering the Engage-to-Earn (Monetize your skill and time by collecting resources, rewards, and tokens) as pillars of the economy.
