Investing in the Metaverse Infrastructure: VIRA Ventures invests in Matera Protocol for a Tokenized Future
The concept of the metaverse is taking the digital world by storm, promising a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity by 2030, according to investment bank Citi. Yet, despite its potential, the metaverse remains a misunderstood and enigmatic concept. It requires conviction, a long-term time horizon, and visionary leadership to navigate this uncharted territory successfully.
The Metaverse: A World of Opportunities and Challenges
The metaverse represents the next frontier of digital innovation, where the convergence of Web3 and real-time 3D gaming technology is redefining how we interact, shop, play, and conduct business online. It’s a realm where opportunities abound, estimated to be worth $13 trillion by the end of the decade, as per Citi’s estimations.
However, beneath the surface, a significant challenge looms – how to build the vast and diverse array of metaverse content required to attract users and investors.
The Challenge: On-Chain Data and Crypto-Economics
To scale the development of metaverse experiences exponentially, we need to take these experiences on-chain, much like the tokenization of finance and the introduction of on-chain data analytics revolutionized the financial industry. Tokenizing metaverse experiences will not only facilitate growth but also lay the foundation for a vibrant, liquid, and tokenized market within the metaverse.
Matera Protocol: Pioneering the Metaverse Revolution
Enter Matera Protocol, a pioneering solution built by LandVault, the largest builders of metaverse experiences. Matera Protocol is the linchpin that tokenizes metaverse experiences, bringing them on-chain, and enabling seamless human and economic coordination within the metaverse.
Key Pillars of Matera Protocol
Matera Protocol rests on three key pillars:
- Production:
It provides a robust platform for coordinating activities and resources among all stakeholders to facilitate the production of metaverse experiences and ventures.
- Data & Discovery:
By defining open standards and APIs for search, discovery, tracking, and performance measurement within metaverse applications, Matera Protocol ensures that users can easily explore and engage with metaverse content.
- Monetization:
Matera Protocol generates and distributes value in real-time, trustlessly, and transparently based on contributions and ownership, fostering a thriving, tokenized metaverse economy.
Unlocking the Metaverse Economy
The success of tokenized metaverse economies depends on four key factors:
- Setting the Stage:
Matera Protocol empowers stakeholders to define project parameters, mint experience NFTs, and deploy capital securely, laying a strong foundation for builders and investors.
- Generating and Sharing Wealth:
Through the Rentals and Revenue Sharing modules, contributors and stakers of fractionalized project tokens receive proportional rewards, fueling the metaverse economy’s growth.
- On-Chain Data:
Matera Protocol opens up metaverse business data and metadata to everyone, fostering a collaborative ecosystem that accelerates the application layer’s growth.
- Ownership at Every Level:
Shared ownership and decentralization are cornerstones of Matera Protocol, ensuring that governance features are integrated from day one.
