Metaverse Tools for web3 game players (casual gamers, creators, and collectors) to launch a 3D multiplayer mini-game room with its own tokens in a few clicks.

Game rooms are web-based 3D multiplayer spaces with built-in tokenomics, NFT auction house, and mini-game mechanics like FPS, scavenger hunts, riddle-solving, and boss fights. Players bring their NFT inventories across different game rooms. A game room can be created quickly with default settings that can be customized later. We start with a web-based platform and plan to further develop this metaverse gamefi protocol to incorporate other game engines.

Background

  • DeFi, NFT, and DAO are the driving forces of web3. What does the future looks like in 2026?
  • GameFi is getting attention because of Yuga Labs’ OtherSide and a16z’s Game Fund One.
  • Yuga Labs and Nike RTFKT’s metaverse-related NFTs are dominating OpenSea (50% of the top 20 in transaction volume; OpenSea is top1 Ethereum gas guzzler that shows major web3 activities occurring in NFTs). Blue chip NFT holders are the first batch of metaverse users and are ideal target users because they are early adopters of NFTs and metaverse.
  • Commerce and experiences typically occur in different places. They seem to converge inside metaverse. In the next few months, there will be NFT marketplaces within the metaverse experiences (e.g., Otherside, OnCyber, NFTWorlds).
  • Custom metaverse experience is possible in Decentraland, but it requires owning lands for customization or renting spaces from landowners. Avatar customization and custom wearables require a long approval process.
  • Having a wix-like simple starting point is important for users to extrapolate and imagine what they can do. It is not easy for typical creators to provide such web3 commerce-integrated metaverse experiences.
  • I have been organizing tg-metaverse weekly showcase. Some events are using the current metaverse prototype. This project can be achieved in short term and is not starting from scratch.
