A few months ago, encryption community Decentraland virtual world platform on the digital land users spent $ 1 million messages surprised. The maximum transaction Decentraland project is to sell products worth $ 215.000 to an unknown user.
The Decentraland each parcel represents a 3D virtual world of a piece of land, where participants can do whatever they want to do. The virtual world is not endless, the project is assigned to each token 10 square meters.
Allows the user to have a virtual property and possessions (including land) of the block chain development projects are gaining. Likewise, virtual reality only began to develop in recent years, although the technology behind it has been around for some time. Currently, there are many projects using VR: education, design, games, and real estate.
This is a chain block encryption technology and money have been waiting for the moment, because they can be seamlessly applied to help these industries. Block chain technology to follow the principles of self-organization distributed ledger almost impossible to counterfeit digital currency on the ledger, because at any stage, all participants are aware of the network transaction information.
When the encryption monetary convenient and safe to use when people realize that in the real estate industry, trading began flooding: People can now buy with Bitcoin (BTC), to arrange a mortgage on the block chain and browse the virtual real estate is still under construction.
People with experience building digital space can also build a virtual world of ideas gradually penetrated into the block chain field. Therefore, the new project began to appear, such as Decentraland, where a player can have in the game of virtual land, just like in the real world, they can sell or lease the land.
International Data Corp. "European opinion and analysis", senior research analyst Radoslav Dragov believe that the block chain itself is a digital asset, and that the token can be used as investment in the field of virtual reality in which people are unable to attend:
"Using the block chain to create a true digital representation of tradable assets can provide greater accessibility to the exchange can not be easily or require a higher minimum investment of assets. For example, tokens of real estate and other illiquid assets of many people opportunity to invest small amounts of money on a particular land, then sell tokens in the secondary market. asset token of the process of democratization is making the investment. "
The world's largest IT companies to develop virtual world has brought new impetus to the development of these companies at the forefront of technology. F8年度会议上谈到了该公司的计划 Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg), held in San Jose (San Jose): "augmented reality and virtual reality to provide a presence, that is, you and the other a person or another place with the feeling. "more specifically, the goal is to create a VR headset and use real human incarnation of the ability to communicate.
Best block chain virtual land project
Like many other IT industry has been actively using the same block chain technology, the project has been in the market segment, and a number of projects attracted The Sandbox game from mature companies like Square Enix and millions of dollars invested $ 2 million financing. Here are some promising VR block chain platform, why the need to the center and the main difference between them is.
Decentraland
Decentraland VR is a platform, where players can create, buy and sell virtual items. The main idea of this project is to create a virtual space user can have. Platform participants can acquire virtual land Figure 10 by 10 meters, and create any objects from the city to the small shops on it, and you can do whatever you want on their property.
The idea of the project appeared in 2015, but the first token issued for the project raised $ 20 million after 2017 has been a positive development. Decentraland platform uses its own currency called MANA encryption, which is the ERC-20 token. MANA for the purchase of land or purchase goods and services in Decentraland.
The platform is considered the creator of the platform is completely decentralized, in response to community demand for the free virtual world, in which control over the content lies in the hands of users, rather than in the hands of managers.
According to the announcement of the project, Decentraland officially to the public in February 2020. After release, creating a DAO (completely decentralized world's infrastructure), designed to ensure complete decentralization platform, thus speeding up the exchange trading platform. Data on the platform and how content exchange between users.
Sandbox games landing
In 2019, one of the largest computer game developer Sandbox Games created a decentralized block chain gaming platform, as in Desentraland, users can buy land for real money in a virtual space with and free to use.
The land is sold for the first time at the end of 2019, while in February 2020, the developer sold the land a second time. In the second sale of a few days, users spent about $ 200,000. Buyers include casual gamers and large game companies, such as CryptoKitties, My Crypto Heroes, Old Skull Games and Dapp.com.
In mid-March announcement of the third and final sale of the project includes the branch may sell 10% of supply. LAND token sales using Ethernet (ETH) or Dai (DAI) carried out. LAND cost of a token is $ 48, which corresponds to an area Sandbox metaverse virtual world. Overall, the developer plans to sell five LAND tokens, gaming platform will be released later in 2020. The Sandbox co-founder and COO Sebastien Borget told Cointelegraph players how to use their own games virtual land Square:
"In the sandbox, LANDS center .LAND our user-generated content platform is The Sandbox metaverse numbers in real estate, players can buy to build on their experience. Once you have LAND, you can use it to populate the game and assets it. each unique LAND (irreplaceable) located in a common Ethernet token Square block Chaining (ERC-721) on a total of 166.464 LANDS available, included in a map, the map will constitute the Sandbox metaverse. "
Encryption voxel
CryptoVoxels is an open, similar to the sandbox environment in which there is no specific target, the user can operate freely and create the desired content. In fact, it is Decentraland Starter Edition, and, like its competitors, it is based on Ethernet virtual land Square block chain, and can not be replaced by tokens operation. The application for its simple interface and an easier draw inspiration from the visual effects in Minecraft.
CryptoVoxels virtual land is not very diverse: the world is growing rapidly, and 18 kilometers below the land will not be more than 36. However, this project and other projects is slightly different: the cheapest cost twice as much Decentraland the ground, about $ 240.
CryptoVoxels has been improving its sales. According to a report, users were 130 transactions between March 12 to 16, the transaction amounted to $ 66.800. In contrast, during the same period, Decentraland user has completed 53 transactions, trading volume is equivalent to a weekly $ 22.300.
m space
Somnium Space is a social VR world cross-platform, launched in 2018. It makes anyone can buy land and build or import objects to create a common virtual universe. The project allows the player to use their HTC Vive and Oculus Rift VR headset and so on.
In Somnium Space, the user can select three different plots: small (200 square meters), medium (600 square meters) and large (1500 square meters). Each size has its own height restrictions.
In February 2020, Somnium Space officially announced the release of version 2.0, and adds new features to enhance the user experience. Built-in integration with NFT has been added to the virtual world, allowing users to any NFT placed directly on their Somnium land and explore.
In addition Somnium Space, developers will also launch their own game currency, the Somnium Cubes (CUBE). The money aims to promote micro-transactions Somnium Space, for example MLM pay invisible to the other side of the world or the cost of renting items. Landlords will be able to use the cube to purchase content created by users.
From Reality to block chain
Today, in the digital economy booming, the development of virtual reality and the property has been a stable trend, with real economic value. Borget confirmed, VR may be the next step in the pursuit of sustainable, equitable and transparent digital world.
"Even in the digital space, then there should not be a virtual boundary. If we compare countries like the real world, the inflow and outflow of currency, then we should accept these goods between the virtual world (creation and games) and people (players ) the free flow of ideas by enabling them to reuse their game elements in multiple games to the control back to the player, you can enhance the value of these game elements can also be used by other game developers user acquisition strategies. "
However, Goff said Della, block chain technology, like digital currency space as fully protected code and distributed networks, can promote the development of the digital economy:
Asset token of great potential in terms of destruction of the financial sector, and greater appeal in the next five years. To make specific predictions are difficult because as a major obstacle to widespread mark of regulation is often uncertain, it may change, and with different jurisdictions and different. Nevertheless, the asset token block chain is one of the innovative applications with real staying power. "
