Yuga Labs, the company behind Bored Ape Yacht Club, released new information regarding the second trial of its gamified Otherside [Metaverse](/news/article/metaverse-vr-project-guide) platform on Wednesday.

The "second trip" will [occur](https://news.yuga.com/otherside-2nd-trip) on 25 March and consist of a two-hour narrative adventure led by four team captains from Otherside.

This trip is exclusively available to holders of Otherdeed NFTs, representing land in the unreleased Otherside Metaverse. Each Otherdeed holder, known as a "voyager", can invite a companion to join them in the adventure. The live experience can accommodate up to 10,000 voyagers on a first-come, first-served basis. Non-holders can watch a live stream of the event on the company's YouTube channel.

## Yuga Labs' Otherside an intersection of the brand's umbrella projects

According to an [interview](https://www.coindesk.com/web3/2022/12/21/see-you-on-the-otherside-how-yuga-labs-is-bringing-its-billion-dollar-business-into-the-metaverse/) with CoinDesk in December, Wylie Aronow and Greg Solano see [Yuga Labs’](/news/article/yuga-labs-explained) Otherside as the nexus of all the company's brand portfolio projects. In April 2022, the company hinted at its Metaverse aspirations by introducing a platform where players could possess the land and transform their current NFTs into playable avatars. Yuga Labs launched 55,000 Otherdeed NFTs connected to virtual land ownership, generating approximately $320 million in prior sales.

In July 2022, the company held its inaugural event for more than 4,600 participants, causing significant congestion on the [Ethereum](/news/article/ethereum-pow-price-prediction) network. Those who joined the first trip and are voyagers on the second trip will have the chance to obtain a distinctive [Obelisk Piece](https://otherside.xyz/my-otherdeeds) connected to the broader Otherside storyline. As per OpenSea's data, the total sales of Otherdeed NFTs have amounted to 524,130 ETH, which is approximately $806 million. At the time of writing, the minimum price for an Otherdeed NFT is 1.9 ETH, equivalent to $2,920.

The Otherside ecosystem is built around digital communities and blockchain technology, presenting chances for individuals to own digital land and use the native currency, [ApeCoin](/news/article/ape-coin-price). This currency is critical in powering interactions and transactions within the Metaverse's economy. By possessing digital land through "Otherdeeds", users can curate their immersive events and experiences.

Yuga Labs' Otherside Sails Again 

A completely immersive 3D world has long been a popular concept in the sci-fi world. The seemingly unrealistic concept has finally taken shape in recent years. The entry of big names like Meta, Roblox, NVIDIA, Epic Games, and others has inspired many projects - the [Metaverse VR (MEVR) project](https://mevr.app/) is one such example.

It is a remarkable take on Metaverse technology, introducing a virtual gaming and socialising platform. The MEVR project aims to connect the digital world with the real one and promote its mass adoption.

Let's look at what the Metaverse VR ecosystem looks like and how its crypto powers it.

## What is the Metaverse VR project?

MEVR is yet another exciting project in the virtual world. It has created a digital space for 3D socialising on the [Binance Smart Chain (BSC)](https://www.binance.com/en/blog/ecosystem/introducing-bnb-chain-the-evolution-of-binance-smart-chain-421499824684903436). The platform offers various [play-to-earn (P2E) games],(/news/article/play-to-earn) NFT collections, and other software projects. 

With this platform, MEVR aims to shape a digital universe that makes immersive experiences more accessible. 

The platform claims to be unique as it focuses on real-world uses of [Metaverse technology](/news/article/metaverse-crypto). The P2E games and the digital collectables it offers try to bridge our routine life with virtual reality. It also offers its native token, MEVR, which supports all the DApps on the platform. You can invest in the project as it provides a transparent ecosystem.

## MEVR tokenomics

The MEVR token is built on the BSC network and follows the BEP-20 token standard. The coin is hard capped at 100 million and has a burning mechanism. The platform burns around 50,000,000 tokens; the rest are divided into several parts. 

Firstly, the largest portion of around 15% is allocated for sales that offer liquidity. Secondly, game development, project partnerships, and marketing departments claim 10% each. The founding team of the project gets around 5% of the tokens.

The liquidity in its ecosystem is locked for around a year. Also, the amount allocated for marketing and development teams cannot be directly accessed. Only the financial team is allowed to withdraw funds from the blockchain.
 
## What's the Metaverse VR price?

According to [CoinMarketCap](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/metaversevr/), the coin's current price is $0.038, and its market cap is $608,505. There are 18,000,000 tokens in circulation with a trading volume of $154,752 in the past 24 hours.

Currently, the coin has not gathered much attention in the market. It is ranked at #3,393, which may indicate that it has no potential. However, some predictions show steady growth in its value.

The data from PricePredictions.net suggest that the token will likely average $0.048 in the ongoing year. It could also hit the max value of $0.055. Moreover, in 2025, the price may reach the $0.10 mark and the max value of the token in the year might be $0.12.

Though it may not indicate huge gains, MEVR will potentially see an upward trend in the coming years. If the platform succeeds in creating more use cases for its NFTs and games, it will gain more attention in the market.

## Where can I buy a Metaverse VR coin?

The coin is a relatively new offering in the market. That's why it is not available on most of the popular exchanges. You have four options for purchasing it through the following exchanges:

•	[Pancakeswap](https://pancakeswap.finance/).

•	[Hotbit exchange](https://www.hotbit.io/).

•	[MEXC Global](https://www.mexc.com/).

•	[Bitmart](https://www.bitmart.com/).

## Bottom line

Metaverse VR project is a novel approach to the virtual world. It plans to bring software, NFT collections, and P2E games that are practical. It aims for mass adoption of the technology and bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds.

The platform is built on the BSC chain and is certified by various third-party auditors. It gives the platform commendable security and transparency, which is why you can easily invest in the token.


Metaverse VR Project: A Guide 

When assessing the top blockchain projects, I would describe 2023 as the year when the "chaff will be separated from the wheat".

These projects are not the only ones that will likely peak this year, and this article is not an endorsement to invest in anyone of them. Always remember the number one rule in blockchain "DYOR" (do your own research).


Top Blockchain Projects for 2023

Paradox crypto has been trending online in recent months due to the booming [Metaverse](/news/article/bloktopia-metaverse-guide) industry.

Unfortunately, many cryptocurrency traders and investors are not privy to the fact that the digital asset is part of a broader project encompassing blockchain gaming, play-to-earn (P2E), [Metaverse](/news/article/buy-sandbox-land-simple-guide), and [non-fungible tokens](/news/article/shopify-nft-merchants-get-more-tools) (NFTs). 

## What is Paradox crypto?

It is the native asset of the Paradox Metaverse, a project announced in April 2022 by [Paradox Studios](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/04/21/2426122/0/en/The-Paradox-Metaverse-Announced-the-Launch-of-its-Own-NFT-Collection.html), a UK-based development team. The company is behind a new blockchain game employing the P2E format, which is forecast to grow from $755 million in 2022 to approximately [$3.6 billion](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/voices/play-to-earn-games-the-future-of-the-gaming-industry/) in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.3%. 

After opening at [$0.1123](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/paradox-metaverse/) on cryptocurrency exchanges on 17 November 2022, PARADOX maintained this value as its all-time high (ATH). It reached an all-time low of [$0.01377](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/paradox-metaverse/) on 8 February 2023.

PARADOX has 12.7 million tokens in circulation from a total and maximum supply of 1 billion. As of the late evening hours of 14 February, PARADOX was exchanging hands for $0.01483. With this, the token had plummeted by 86% in value since its opening day, and 57% year-to-date (YTD).
 
## Paradox NFTs are also attached to the project 

The global NFT market sales have surpassed [$48 billion](https://www.cryptoslam.io/nftglobal) and the Paradox Metaverse Official Collection has contributed its quota to this milestone.

The digital collectibles are integral to the blockchain game, as potential players must buy an NFT character from the 8,878 collections before they can access P2E missions.

Upon completion of missions, gamers are rewarded with an in-game digital currency called ‘P-bucks’. The P-buck tokens can be swapped for PARADOX. 

In August 2022, the studio announced that it had enabled [Paradox NFT staking](https://metanews.com/the-paradox-metaverse-unveils-nft-staking/), which will help gamers earn passive income.

As of 14 February, the Paradox Metaverse Collection had more than 1,400 owners, commanded a floor price of 0.0397 ETH (about $61), and had seen a volume of 199 ETH (approximately $310,000) on the largest NFT marketplace across the globe [OpenSea](https://opensea.io/collection/the-paradox-meta). 

As of the same date, the token had a fully diluted market capitalization of $15 million and was supported by centralized cryptocurrency exchanges Huobi Global and BitMart.


Paradox Crypto Value Nosedives 

Utherverse was the backbone of the internet back in the early 2000s with the launch of games like Second Life and Play Station Home. The company set a precedent for VR, AR, interactive, and open-world games on the web.

The company is now set to launch its new take on the concept with its new game. The 3D internet game giant says it's unveiling the next layer when it comes to interactive and 3D games on the internet.

Any individual looking to play the game and be a part of the community can do so by installing the all-new web 3D browser named Xaeon™. The team at the company calls it the next-generation Metaverse platform as they get ready to release their in-house crypto called UTHER coin.

In the game, players can expect to use the UTHER coin and buy the company's NFTs.

These possessions will hold real-world value from which users can expect to make a [passive income](/news/article/how-to-invest-in-metaverse). 

## How does Utherverse work?

The game is set to build a fully functional world in the Metaverse. If someone is looking to build a significant Metaverse presence, this is the place to go. The platform will provide players with all the tools they need to build their very own Metaverse.

These include software, tools, IP protection, and technical support, among other things, making it easier for players to customize and build their own unique identity within the world.

The company is taking a leap into the world of 3D internet games as players now have unlimited options when it comes to worlds within the game. In other words, players can transport, hopping in and out of millions of different worlds. The worlds in the browser can be interconnected with the correct permissions, allowing users unlimited options.

The company also states that the technology used to build the world is not only patented, but also ahead of its time and competition.

## The economy

Since the company has been in this business for 17 years and is a pioneer in virtual world games on the internet, the UTHER token's launch is no surprise.

They have also [launched the first fNFT](https://www.utherverse.io/fnft) (fractional non-fungible token) ever created. The fNFT comes in the form of a genesis trunk which comes "alive". The trunk contains many goodies within the game and is the rarest form of asset you can own within the Metaverse.

Though the project is still in its developmental phase, it has gained traction from crypto investors and gamers alike. Since it is an ecosystem of various Web3 offerings, it shows signs of tremendous growth. This is why the TARO presale has received a phenomenal response from the community.

RobotEra Metaverse Token Presale Update 

Is it possible that the Shiba Inu price could reach $10 by 2024?

The [Shiba Inu](/news/article/shiba-inu-holders-value-of-bone) coin, inspired by the popular dog breed, has gained a significant following in the market. Originally conceived as a joke, the coin has evolved into something more serious over time.

Since its launch, the price of the coin has undergone significant fluctuations. Although it had limited popularity initially, the coin experienced a surge in 2021, propelling it into the spotlight. The coin intends to become the Ethereum-powered equivalent of Dogecoin's mining algorithm, which uses Srypt. At the same time, introducing Shiba Inu in the [Shibaverse](/news/article/shibaverse-coin) metaverse could potentially drive up trading prices.

## Developments in the Shiba Inu ecosystem

The Shiba Inu ecosystem comprises decentralized applications (DApps), protocols, and open-source platforms that allow for the creation of smart contracts and DApps on the Ethereum blockchain. Additionally, it includes the SHIB token, which is used for purchasing goods and services within the ecosystem.

As anticipated, [Shibarium](/news/article/shibarium-release-date-update), the Layer 2 protocol of the platform, is progressing well. This advancement will allow users to transfer assets at a reduced gas cost, facilitating the completion of minor transactions through DApps supported by Shiba Inu.

Additionally, the team has enlisted new developers to enhance the platform's user interface and experience. ShibaSwap gathered close to $1 billion in locked assets in just one day, confirming SHIB's position as more than just a meme cryptocurrency. The collaboration between Shopping.io and Shiba Inu provided a further boost, as customers could utilize SHIB as a payment option on major retailers such as Walmart, Amazon, and eBay.

## Can Shiba Inu price 2024 touch $10?

The total supply refers to the number of coins that exist, excluding any that have been burned. This can be compared to the outstanding shares in the stock market. At the time of writing, there is a circulating supply of [0.549 trillion](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/shiba-inu/) coins, so if we think about a $10 price of these tokens, we are talking about a market cap of $5.49 trillion, which seems to be unattainable at this point.

## A Shiba Inu price 2024 of $10 seems unlikely.

As per [AMB CRYPTO](https://ambcrypto.com/predictions/shiba-inu-price-prediction-2024), the price of Shiba Inu in January 2024 is expected to fluctuate between $0.000027 and $0.000031, with an average price of approximately $0.000029.

Could Shiba Inu Price Reach $10 by 2024? 

Polkacity is a multi-chain [Metaverse game](/news/article/farming-games-in-metaverse) that allows players to generate a passive income by simply holding NFTs. In the virtual world blockchain game, players can own virtual locations and have a steady passive income. It's native token, POLC, price could be linked to game development.

Each location within the world has actual value in the form of an NFT, which generates income in the form of a POLC token.

## How does it work?

The workings of Polkacity are quite simple. Once registered as a valid player or member of the Polkacity community, you can start buying and investing in assets.

The virtual world has a GTA-esque vibe and operates on the same principle; players can own assets in the form of taxis, gas stations, energy stations, services, and so much more.

Once players pick their preferred asset, they are provided with a contract address. From there, they have to make a deposit to the contract address shared with them. Once payment is made, players can expect to receive payments every week in their wallets.

If you invest in assets like the hotel in the game, you can make big money. Once the game is fully functional, you can expect to receive more than 13,000 POLC tokens in a week with bigger assets.

To elaborate, Polkacity is a hub for investors. The Polkacity price will only increase as the game picks up pace and functions at full capacity. The team at Polkacity uses resources available within the Metaverse, such as DeFi and NFTs, to make it easier for private investors to get the assets they want. In other words, every community member can make a passive income by investing in assets that work best for them.

## How to play Polkacity

Anyone interested in playing Polkacity and being a part of the growing community can access the game through a mobile application or desktop. The game is available to play on both PC and Mac.

The game remains in its beta phase, so new additions and improvements are made daily. As the team at Polkacity works hard to add better controls, new city-wide features, and improved graphics, Polkacity price is expected to go up. On the other hand, players in the Metaverse can already move freely by car, on foot, and by other modes of transportation.
 
The [Polkacity token, POLC, stands at £0.03111](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/polkacity/). The token at the time of writing has a circulating supply of 83,414,352 and its market cap is at £1,771,886.60.

## Earn rewards in the Solice Metaverse

1.	Trade in the Metaverse - The Solice market is an online exchange platform, but it is also working on introducing a marketplace within the [Metaverse](/news/article/burberry-collection-minecraft-metaverse). This feature would enable users to see objects in a 3D VR environment, giving potential buyers a more engaging and personalised experience.

2.	Earn - Users can earn SLC tokens and other rare assets by completing dungeons, mini-games, and quests or by receiving entrance fees for their creations. Additionally, they can earn additional SLC tokens by staking them in the Metaverse.

3.	Create - Solice is introducing a custom editor, an SDK that provides users with a user-friendly way to create, assemble and share 3D models and mini-games.

## Solice Metaverse secures investment

This VR and cross-platform PC game created in 2021 by Christian Zhang raised $4.3M in funding in a Seed round on 1 December, 2021. The most recent investors were Maven Capital and DeFiance Capital.

Prominent crypto investors Animoca Brands and DeFiance Capital were leading investors in the project, with support from "strategic backers and partners" such as Alameda Research, KuCoin Labs, and others.


Solice: The First Cross-Platform VR Metaverse 

Eager to join the Metaverse and want to buy Sandbox land? Here's how.

With virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) becoming integral parts of our lives, individuals and organizations want to be a part of this growing sector. Increased interest in having a presence in the Metaverse led to Facebook rebranding itself as Meta Platforms Inc. In March 2022, banking and financial services company [HSBC](https://cointelegraph.com/news/hsbc-enters-the-sandbox-to-offer-educational-finance-games) entered the Metaverse through The Sandbox, intending to offer educational financial games to its customers.

While the market size of this booming sector is forecast to be worth [$825 billion](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/metaverse-market-size-worth--824-53-billion-globally-by-2030-at-39-1-cagr-verified-market-research-301585725.html#:~:text=Metaverse%20Market%20size%20worth%20%24%20824.53,CAGR%3A%20Verified%20Market%20Research%C2%AE) by 2030, how can you buy land from The Sandbox so that you can contribute to the development of this growing industry?

## Buy Sandbox land: What is The Sandbox?

It is an integral part of Metaverse gaming, allowing users to create, distribute, and monetize their in-world goods and gaming experiences. Despite its popularity, The Sandbox does not reside in an independent blockchain. Instead, it is housed on Ethereum.

Engaging with The Sandbox involves experiences such as Play-to-Earn (P2E) and Free-to-Play (F2P). Opportunities on the platform are not limited to just gamers. Creators and landowners also have an equal chance of making passive income from The Sandbox Metaverse.

Many colours can be found on The Sandbox. Each represents the state of LANDs on the platform. GREEN is a symbol of ESTATEs and LANDs that belong to other people. RED represents ESTATEs and LANDs owned by you. YELLOW shows premium LANDs that can be purchased due to their availability. GRAY indicates ESTATEs and LANDs that are available on the market and can be purchased. 

PURPLE denotes ESTATEs and LANDs that you and others have booked. Should you come across BLUE, you should know that it represents ESTATEs and LANDs that have been reserved for Game Maker Fund recipients and partners of The Sandbox.

Now that you know the main tenets of the platform, let us investigate how you can buy land on The Sandbox.

## Buy Sandbox land

To buy virtual properties, you must go through the following steps.

### (1) Create an account on The Sandbox

You cannot buy a piece of virtual real estate if you are not a platform member. You can [sign up](https://www.sandbox.game/en/sign/?redirectTo=%2Fen%2F) directly by connecting your wallet. While many wallets support SAND tokens, such as Ledger, imToken, Coinbase Wallet, TokenPocket, iToken Wallet, Coinomi Wallet, Freewallet, TrustWallet, ABC Wallet, Ambire Wallet, SafePal, and Math Wallet, The Sandbox recommends the use of [MetaMask](/news/article/what-is-metamask). 

Aside from directly signing up with a crypto wallet, you can also create an account using your Google Mail or Facebook details.

You have to FUND your crypto wallet with SAND, the novel token of this Metaverse application. Since the platform is housed on Ethereum, its native asset in the form of Ether (ETH) acts as the base currency that oversees all transactions on the current Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain. Therefore, you need to fund your wallet with ETH as well. With SAND and ETH in your wallet, you can navigate to finding LAND on the menu. 

### (2) LAND selection

Search for the "LAND/MAP" option on your screen. Before you find this, note that there are two main types of LAND in The Sandbox. They are PREMIUM and REGULAR LANDs. Regular Lands can be likened to residential areas where lands are occupied by houses. 

Premium Lands can be compared to the commercial areas of cities where social hubs and the major partners of The Sandbox can be found. Such areas come with relatively higher traffic than regular lands. Premium lands are denoted by YELLOW, while Regular lands are shown in GRAY.

### (3) Buy virtual land

Select the LAND you want to buy. With your crypto wallet containing SAND and ETH, you can buy a virtual land by following the notification messages on your wallet.

## Buy land through OpenSea

As the largest NFT marketplace by volume, you may prefer buying LAND from OpenSea. With this, you can click on [The Sandbox](https://www.sandbox.game/en/) and scroll down until you find BECOME A LAND OWNER. 

Click on BUY LAND and it will redirect you to OpenSea. 

There are [1,253](https://opensea.io/collection/sandbox?search%5bsortAscending%5d=true&search%5bsortBy%5d=UNIT_PRICE&search%5btoggles%5d%5b0%5d=BUY_NOW&search%5btoggles%5d%5b1%5d=ON_AUCTION) Sandbox-related items on the biggest NFT marketplace. Click on the LAND you want to buy, connect your crypto wallet to OpenSea, and make the purchase. 

Since LAND is priced in ETH, you will need to fund that wallet with the primary cryptocurrency of Ethereum. 

## Conclusion

In any investment, you should always weigh the pros against the cons. If the potential rewards from buying LAND from the Sandbox Metaverse outpace the risks, you can invest in the virtual land.

As of 16 January, 2023, total sales stand at more than [$370 million](https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/thesandbox) by more than 30,000 buyers involved in over 69,000 transactions.

Buy Sandbox Land - A Simple Guide

Hyperverse, amongst other crypto projects, has raised curiosity and concerns in equal measure. And with every passing day, there are more raised eyebrows and questions regarding its legitimacy.

In part, it's a result of the plummeting cryptocurrency value this year. The [FTX debacle](/news/article/ftx-bankrupt-who-to-blame) hasn't helped, either.

The scandal of FTX and its demise has revived conversations around the validity of crypto projects. Exposed to the recent searchlight is the [Hyperverse](https://thehyperverse.net/index.html), and we're about to take a sneak peek.

## So, what is the Hyperverse crypto project?

![hyperverse1.png](https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/prod-monitalks-media/hyperverse1_4bd03f9813.png)
  
Picture of The Hyperverse

Visit the Hyperverse.net website and you're greeted with the following words against a backdrop of star systems and futuristic cityscapes.

### Where Reality Ends and Imagination Begins

According to the team, Hyperverse is a virtual metaverse with player voyagers residing on millions of planets and interacting with one another in the commerce of tokenized items.

So the story goes that this is 2078AD, and we've mastered interstellar travel. Kicking off the age of interstellar migration, the first human voyagers on the Proxima Centauri star system created the Hyperverse.

There's even a cool video of a space vehicle, Apollo, docking into what I can only describe as a space city enclosed in a glass bubble just off the rocky rings of a mars-like planet. The video ends with a panoramic view of the glass bubble attached to a spaceship.

And then, the word HYPERVERSE comes into focus.

## So why should we have the Hyperverse?

Catchy lore, cool videos, and a buzzing community are nice and typical in the crypto space, but so is the tendency to be more community than a commodity.

## Features

![hyperverse2.png](https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/prod-monitalks-media/hyperverse2_08e6f06d0e.png)
 
Picture of The Hyperverse

The [Hyperverse](https://thehyperverse.net) claims to bring users value through a combination of features from themes in gaming, Metaverse, crypto economy, [DeFi](/news/tag/defi), and governance.

## Concerns

The one question that many Hyperverse crypto project critics feel the team doesn't answer clearly is how the Hyperverse claims to make money. The team promises returns of 0.5% per day for 600 days, where investors can look to make as much as 300% returns on their initial investments. They say that these returns are gotten from their savvy investments in crypto currencies and other Web3 projects.

But the thing is that no one can guarantee such returns for that long. Also, the assets they claim to make money from have dropped in value, with many at around 3% to 10% of their original value. As we speak, Bitcoin trades for $16,000, 80% down from its all-time high in October last year.

There are other complaints as well. Investors lament the difficulty, and sometimes inability, to sell their HU cryptocurrencies. All the while, the Hyperverse crypto project keeps changing its name, from Hyperfunds to Hyperverse and then to Hypernation. What is steady across these changes is the increasing skepticism around the hype. 

It seems to be a Ponzi scheme dressed in the latest garb of the times - web 3.0. However, remember to do your own research.

A quick look at the Hyperverse crypto project

Metaverse, an alternative digitised reality, is rapidly taking shape. According to [research](https://www.precedenceresearch.com/metaverse-market), the global Metaverse market is expected to be worth $1.3 trillion by 2030. No wonder so many are asking how to buy land in Metaverse worlds.

More blockchain projects and brands are exploring it to stay ahead of their competitors.

But, the gaming and tech industries aren't the only ones interested in it. Entertainment, fashion, food, and other industries have also jumped on this bandwagon. Furthermore, Metaverse real estate [investing](/news/article/how-to-invest-in-metaverse) is becoming popular among the masses.

It is the reason virtual land prices are inflating and gaining investors' attention. If you, too, are looking to invest, here's how to buy land in Metaverse worlds!

## Why should I buy land in the Metaverse?

Before we address the “how to [buy land](/news/article/how-to-buy-metaverse-land) in Metaverse" part, think about how it could be beneficial. Here's how a plot in a 3D immersive world could be a rewarding investment!

1.	Sell it for profit
You could invest in Metaverse land to use it as an asset, just like traditional real estate. Once the value of land increases, you can flip it to earn markups. The transactions in the virtual world are secure as they use blockchain technology. So, every transaction is immutable, and you can easily prove it anytime. 

2.	Build on it
Secondly, you can create different things in 3D worlds, such as your [virtual home](/news/article/the-crypto-house) or a business. You can also create gaming experiences or organise live events for others. Users can also make it premium, so people have to pay to become part of it.

3.	Rent it out
Another profitable option is to rent it out. Many platforms allow you to buy a 3D plot and give it for rent. This way, you can generate a stable passive income. 

4.	Metaverse marketing
Another excellent opportunity virtual real estate possesses is a new way of marketing. You can become part of paid marketing campaigns via your lands. This kind of advertising would be less intrusive for customers and allow you to earn your share.

## Five steps to buy land in the Metaverse

We have listed five easy steps to help you purchase a virtual property.

Step 1: Set up a crypto wallet
To enter the Metaverse, the first thing you’ll need is a digital wallet. Choose a trusted one where you can securely keep your assets. Select a wallet compatible with most of the Metaverse platforms. 

Additionally, you should look at the wallet’s asset management ability, liquidity, and range of supported cryptocurrencies. Some ideal choices concerning these requirements are [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/), [Coinbase](https://www.coinbase.com/), and [Trust wallet](https://trustwallet.com/). 

Step 2: Pick a Metaverse platform
Pick a platform where you want to buy your virtual real estate. To select the right one, evaluate the projects based on their popularity, asset value, and use cases. Platforms that are popular among celebrities, brands, and tech companies offer better investment opportunities.

Until now, the Metaverse worlds that have been the most impactful are the [Sandbox](/news/article/sandbox-games) and [Decentraland](/news/article/decentraland-price-prediction-2025). However, more projects are being introduced as technology evolves. You can find a few new platforms later in this article. 

Step 3: Purchase the platform’s crypto
Once you have sorted out which 3D immersive world would be best for you, consider buying its crypto. Since plots in virtual worlds are sold as NFTs (non-fungible tokens), [Ethereum](/coins/eth) is the most common crypto to acquire. Other than that, the choice of platform will determine [which crypto coins](/news/article/metaverse-crypto-coins) you need in your e-wallet. 

For instance, to buy land in Decentraland, you must have MANA tokens. Similarly, for Sandbox, you would need SAND tokens. 

Step 4: Choose your land
The next step is to decide which plot would be appropriate for you. Here, three things are important to consider:

•	Location.

•	Size.

•	Your purpose for buying the plot.

Firstly, check out whether the locality is populated or not. If yes, see who owns the surrounding land and whether there is a presence of brands. These things will determine the future value of the real estate.

Secondly, check its size to know what you can build on it. This will allow you to evaluate whether it’s overpriced.

Most importantly, consider what you want to do with the piece of 3D land. It could be flipping it as an asset or renting it to generate passive income. You can also create experiences for people. So, choose according to your purpose. 

Step 5: Buying the land
Once everything is sorted out, you can move ahead with buying the land. The following two options may help you further in making an informed decision.

Option 1:
One way to do it is to integrate your e-wallet with the Metaverse platform you selected. Download the crypto wallet’s extension and set it up on your browser. Then go to the Metaverse’s website and create an account there. 

It will ask you to select one of its compatible wallets. Choose your wallet and go ahead with account creation. Now, directly go to the platform’s marketplace and buy the chosen land after checking its price.

Option 2:
Another easy way around it is to look for your desired plot on the NFT marketplaces. Since [virtual real estate](/news/article/nft-land) is NFT, you can find them on any top-rated marketplaces like [OpenSea](https://opensea.io/). Sandbox and Decentraland's NFTs are listed on OpenSea, and you can buy them through Ether. 

## Best Metaverses to buy a digital real estate

Here are some popular Metaverses to buy digital real estate from:

1.	[The Sandbox](https://www.sandbox.game/en/) is a P2E game that introduces you to a highly developed 3D world. Celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton, and Justin Bieber have already invested in it. 

2.	[Decentraland](https://decentraland.org/) is the second most popular name. It uses MANA tokens and has the most expensive land.

3.	[CryptoVoxel](https://www.voxels.com/) is a small project but has all the features of virtual worlds. You can find plots at cheap rates here.

4.	[Treeverse](https://www.treeverse.net/) is an MMORPG that provides realistic gaming experiences in the digital world.

5.	[Pax World](https://pax.world/) is another name that recently became popular as [Prince Harry and Meghan Markle](/news/article/harry-and-meghan-news-metaverse) decided to join it. It creates experiences through which people can socialise virtually.

## Final thoughts

We are gradually moving towards a virtual world imagined in sci-fi movies. Many platforms are now taking shape, allowing you to own real estate virtually. Therefore, we laid out the step-by-step process on how to buy land in Metaverse worlds. By following it, you can become the owner of a virtual land and generate profit through it.

How to Buy Land in Metaverse Worlds

As non-fungible tokens (NFTs) continue to make waves, the possibilities of the digital and physical world colliding have grown with augmented reality.

Augmented reality tokens have grown in popularity since the metaverse boom. Creators have found a bridge between the immersive technologies of augmented reality and NFTs.

## What is augmented reality?

Commonly called AR, augmented reality is an interactive experience that enhances real-world objects through computer-generated information.

AR helps creators enrich their works by allowing technologically creative ways to exhibit and give context to digital artwork.

## What are augmented reality tokens?

NFTs transform AR experiences and make them verifiable assets. These tokens are Proof-of-Ownership tokens attached to digital assets on the [blockchain](/news/article/what-is-blockchain). 
These tokens are unique and not interchangeable, making the owner the sole possessor of the digital media.

These tokens have different use cases depending on the augmented reality intended by the creator. The most popular use cases are in art, gaming, and e-commerce.
In art, NFTs are pivotal to allowing artists to sell digital assets stored on the blockchain. AR allows NFT collectors to experience digital art in creative ways.

In gaming, play-to-earn (P2E) has grown popular in the past few years. Augmented reality tokens allow players to acquire in-game assets and cryptocurrency. Players can experience their in-game assets through AR, making the game more immersive and the narrative more compelling.

## Benefits of AR Tokens

### Use cases:

Augmented reality tokens add physical elements to digital assets. Users can distinguish themselves in the Metaverse with AR avatars, and creators can engage directly with fans.

They also serve as native tokens on different platforms. The tokens can be used to purchase features, in-game assets, and services.

### Passive source of income:

AR tokens allow creators to earn royalties on every transaction. Collectors can also own tokens that can be traded and surge in price.

## What are some popular AR Tokens?

If you intend to invest in AR tokens, you need to buy the project's tokens to be able to participate in their ecosystem. Here are some top-performing projects you should consider.

### 1.	Mossland: 
According to [CoinGecko](https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/augmented-reality), in the last seven days, [Mossland](https://www.moss.land/en) has remained the top AR token. Open-source Metaverse platform Mossland is a place where users can buy and sell digital/offline goods, collect points, and play mini-games.

The Mossland Metaverse token is the Moss coin (MOC). This token is used for Mossland's entertainment services that mirror the real world.

### 2.	Somnium Space: 
This is an augmented reality world built on the Ethereum blockchain. On [Somnium Space](https://somniumspace.com/), users can buy land, build or import NFTs, explore, and trade.

The native token of the platform is CUBE, an ERC-20 token. CUBE can be used to purchase land and pay for services on the Somnium platform.

### 3.	Over the Reality (OVER): 
Built on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains, OVER is a seamless bond of the physical and digital worlds. The platform allows users to own digital real estate and supports AR capabilities like AI avatars and realistic NFT assets. The OVR token serves as the platform's native token.

## Conclusion

While no one can predict the future, it appears augmented reality tokens will be part of what the [Metaverse](/news/article/how-to-invest-in-metaverse) looks like in its final form.

Augmented Reality Tokens Explained 

Despite the crypto market's downturn, new platforms are still making big moves and adding value to the Web3 scene. STEPN adds value with its innovative app that tracks a user's physical activity and helps users earn rewards. The [STEPN app](https://stepn.com/) and community are powered by the Green Metaverse token, which serves as its governance token.

The platform launched in late 2021, and its user base skyrocketed in the first few months of 2022. As a result, its governance token, GMT, grew in value and became a coin worth purchasing for crypto traders looking for promising projects. Let's review the STEPN ecosystem and how to get the Green Metaverse token.

## The lifestyle app

STEPN aims to connect millions to a healthier lifestyle, aid in the fight against climate change, and connect the public to Web 3.0 via built-in [Game-Fi ](/news/article/what-is-gamefi) and Social-Fi elements. The platform was developed on the Solana blockchain by Jerry Huang and Yawn Rong, who designed it as a "[move-to-earn](/news/article/blockchain-use-cases)" app and finished fourth out of more than 500 applications at the [Solana Ignition Hackathon](https://solana.com/news/solana-ignition-hackathon-winners).

The app's distinct value is "incentivisation", which distinguishes it from other fitness platforms. Users are motivated to exercise and participate in physical activities because they will be rewarded for doing so.

The first step to using the platform is purchasing NFT sneakers from its marketplace. Users are expected to buy a sneaker appropriate for one of four types of activity. It's also worth noting that STEPN tokens are earned when a user's speed falls within the range of the activity they choose. That is, the NFT sneaker for running will not earn STEPN tokens if used to walk.

Users will first receive the game's utility token, the Green Satoshi token (GST). Once their sneakers reach level 30, they will be able to earn the GMT governance token.

## What is the Green Metaverse token?

The Green Metaverse token powers the STEPN ecosystem as the governance token. Users begin by earning GST, which can be used to level up sneakers, open mystery boxes, and upgrade rewards.

GMT will allow users to advance to new levels, increase GST earnings, and vote on business decisions that directly affect STEPN's future. GMT has a fixed supply of 6 billion coins, with only 10% in circulation. It should be noted that approximately one-third of Green Metaverse tokens can be obtained through "move-to-earn" rewards.

If you want to buy GMT, you can do so on OKX, Bybit, CoinTiger, and Binance. Green Metaverse tokens can also be purchased with Bitcoin or Ethereum. Users can also trade GMT by signing up for STEPN and reaching the app's set milestone.

Through its move-to-earn model, the STEPN app aims to promote a healthier and more environmentally friendly way of life. Because of the incentivization concept, GMT has become a solid investment in the eyes of crypto investors.

Green Metaverse token: A guide to STEPN

Bloktopia is a decentralised Metaverse that provides an unprecedented VR experience for the crypto community.

It brings users together in one immersive and engaging environment. [Bloktopia](https://www.bloktopia.com/) is built and backed by Polygon.

Bloktopians are those who own tokens. It is a 21-story skyscraper built to honour the 21 million Bitcoins. It serves as a primary focus for all levels of crypto expertise. For the first time, consumers can obtain crypto knowledge and immersive multimedia in one location. 

## Bloktopia's ecosystem

The ecosystem of Blocktopia is primarily made up of $BLOK, the Metaverse's native currency. Players can use $BLOK to acquire land assets and advertisement rights, granting users ownership of $REBLOK and $ADBLOK tokens.

## $BLOK

$BLOK is an ERC-20 token and Bloktopia's native cryptocurrency, with a maximum supply of 199.87 billion tokens. Only 15% of the fungible tokens are now in circulation, but this figure will likely climb by the end of the year's fourth quarter.

$BLOK serves as the Metaverse's utility token and will be required for various in-game functions. $BLOK tokens are needed for everything from purchasing NFTs from vendors on the floor to attending elite clubs. Similarly, purchasing land from portals requires users to spend $BLOK tokens to transfer ownership of a specific land tract.

The $BLOK coin can be purchased via various [cryptocurrency exchanges](/news/article/huobi-exchange-who-owns-it), including QuickSwap, KuCoin, Hotbit, and many others. 

## $REBLOK

The purchase of real estate in Bloktopia is known as Reblok. 

Following the BLOK token distribution event, Bloktopians can purchase real estate (TGE). Bloktopians can speculate on the property and either resell for a profit or lease it for passive income prospects because real estate will be a valued commodity within Bloktopia.

## $ADBLOK

Bloktopia takes advantage of emerging technology and the notion of [virtual](/news/article/nft-land) land to allow prominent companies to market their products in front of a large audience. Advertising for large brands worldwide will earn significant cash within the Metaverse, and $REBLOK owners are urged to lend digital screens for advertising reasons.

Users can purchase $ADBLOK to receive a portion of the revenue generated by advertising. Bloktopia will collaborate with tier-1 brands to publicise their content. Any income earned by advertising for these brands will be shared with $ADBLOK holders.

## How to earn with Bloktopia

The Metaverse aims to allow its members to use their creative abilities and innovative approaches to entertain others while offering avenues for monetary gain. Fortunately, Bloktopia provides attractive chances for its members to use and earn real-world money while contributing to the massive market cap.

## Play-to-earn games

Bloktopia has a wealth of [play-to-earn](/news/article/best-farm-games-2022) (P2E) games that allow players to earn money from the Metaverse through in-game prizes. Players can earn valuable rewards through fungible and non-fungible tokens by engaging in gameplay and accomplishing various tasks and objectives throughout the central hub.

## Virtual enterprise

The 21-story skyscraper allows interested people to own a shop on any level and provide unique services. Landowners can use the space to start virtual enterprises selling [NFTs](/news/article/moonray-nft-gaming-platform) and other in-demand services. Significant brands are opening virtual stores in the Metaverse to display brand messaging and promotions and sell branded NFTs on the marketplace.

## ADBLOK purchase

Bloktopians can earn passive income through advertising revenue sharing by purchasing ADBLOK tokens using the native NFT gateway. The developers will share the cash made by displaying adverts on numerous ad screens across the Metaverse if they purchase ADBLOK. The more impressions an advertisement receives, the more revenue is made.

## Team

Bloktopia is powered by [Polygon](/news/article/moonray-nft-gaming-platform), with Animoca Brands, Magnus Capital, Jake Paul, and BullPerks as critical partners.

Ross Tavakoli is the project's founder. His extensive knowledge in the crypto sector and retail investment gave him an advantage in the nascent market, as did his vision for Bloktopia.

Paddy Carrol is a co-founder, and his marketing knowledge makes him an asset to the Bloktopia team.

Libby Rothwell, the commercial director in charge of developing commercial relationships, and Simon Benson, the project's technical lead, also offered their talents and time to the project.

## Current price

The current price of $BLOK is US$0.002267, with a 24-hour trading volume of $591,983. The circulating supply of $BLOK is 17.54bn $BLOK, with a maximum supply of 199.87bn. It has gained 0.21% in the previous 24 hours. It is now -2.83% off its seven-day high of $0.002333 and 5.82% off its seven-day low of $0.002142.

## Conclusion

It is early days, but with each project update, more content and in-game settings are introduced, making the Metaverse more enjoyable. Bloktopia is now one of the most popular live Metaverses built on cryptocurrency, with many active users.

Bloktopia Metaverse- A Guide

[Play-to-earn](/news/article/play-to-earn) games are gradually gaining some popularity in the gaming community. Many cryptocurrencies are now being launched through blockchain games. One of them is [Battle Infinity](https://battleinfinity.io/), which is a fantasy game for sports fans. 

This gaming platform brings in all the features of blockchain technology itself. It introduces its native crypto, non-fungible tokens as in-game accessories, P2E features, and some Metaverse elements. You can also earn incentives and generate a passive income.

Here’s a thorough guide to getting started with the Battle Infinity crypto. Let’s dive in!

## Battle Infinity: A quick overview

It is a play-to-earn battle game that introduces you to its Metaverse world, the Battle Arena. It creates an immersive environment for sports fans to enjoy a more realistic battling experience. Since it is a blockchain game, it has its utility token, IBAT. The platform is also looking to launch its NFT marketplace and in-game accessories store.

According to its [whitepaper](https://whitepaper.battleinfinity.io/welcome-to-battle-infinity/), its ecosystem will likely include an IBAT Premier League, a token-swapping platform, an NFT market, an in-game accessories store, and a token-staking platform. The Premier League has a unique feature of NFT integration. It will allow players to create a team and earn rewards for its players’ performances in real-world games. You can also manage and trade your teams as they will be NFTs. 

The platform’s market and the store will allow you to purchase collectables and other accessories. Its swap feature will offer a platform from where you can get [IBAT](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/battle-infinity/) tokens and others. Besides, you can also stake your tokens by locking them on the platform and earning rewards through it. 

## The benefits of playing Battle Infinity

Playing Battle Infinity can benefit you in various ways. Here are a few of them:

1.	This P2E game can earn you a modest return on investment and become a consistent income stream. 

2.	It also gives staking incentives and various other rewards through IBAT tokens.

3.	Through this game, you can collect valuable non-fungible tokens, which are in-game assets.

4.	Playing this game will make you part of a growing community of gamers and crypto users. 

5.	It allows sports fans to create their fantasy teams and earn rewards. 

## Battle Infinity crypto (IBAT)

Battle Infinity is a P2E game that runs on its native cryptocurrency, IBAT. The token is developed on the [Binance Smart Chain](https://www.bnbchain.org/) with the BEP-20 token standard. It is a blockchain utility token used for all kinds of transactions, reward distribution, and staking. You can also use it to put on advertisements on the Metaverse billboards. 

The total supply of the tokens is 10 billion, divided into eight parts. The largest part (28%) was assigned for the presale. The second largest part is given to the founders and partners. Another 18% goes for advertisements and coin listings on exchanges. Different percentages are also assigned for liquidity, legal team, foundation development, team allocation, and private sales.

![battle 1.png](https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/prod-monitalks-media/battle_1_09dd06e385.png)
 
[Source](https://battleinfinity.io/)

## Battle Infinity price prediction

The IBAT is still at its nascent stage, with its current value only being $0.00254. Its market cap is only $8,013,854. To get an idea of where its price will head in the coming days, you have to look at the developments in the project. 

Various features of the platform still need to be made live. However, one exciting piece of news that has come out for this project is the launch of the swapping feature. On 16 November 2022, it launched the [Battle Swap](https://dapp.battleinfinity.io/swap), which will work as its decentralised exchange. This addition may play out well for IBAT’s position in the market. 

Moreover, in its ongoing developmental phase, it will introduce Battle Infinity’s Alpha DApp on the Google Play Store. It may further help in increasing the popularity of this game. Also, as P2E gaming becomes more mainstream, projects like these are likely to be in demand. So, in the future, you can expect IBAT's price to go up.

## How to buy a Battle Infinity crypto?

It is still a new project and is only listed on a few exchanges. That’s why purchasing a coin can be quite challenging. However, it was recently launched on PancakeSwap, where you can easily buy it. 

Here’s the complete procedure for buying the Battle Infinity crypto.

1.	Create a crypto wallet

You must set up a digital wallet to store the tokens to purchase Battle Infinity tokens. It is recommended to use a trusted decentralised wallet like [MetaMask](/news/article/what-is-metamask), which is compatible with BSC. 

You can easily create your account by downloading its app on your phone or getting its extension on your device. Once it’s downloaded, go to the ‘get started’ option. Simply follow the instructions there, and you will have your crypto wallet.   

2.	Integrate wallet to BSC

After that, you have to integrate your wallet into the Binance Smart Chain ([BSC](/news/article/bnb-price)). Integration is necessary since the Battle Infinity token is built on BSC. You can do this through the network options.

By default, the name of the network is Ethereum. You would have to change it to RPC network and then select BSC. You would also need to enter the following details.

You should have Binance Coin (BNB) to buy IBAT through PancakeSwap. You can easily purchase it through any of the top-rated exchanges. After that, transfer the coins to your [crypto wallet](/news/article/crypto-wallet-multiple-currencies) so that you can swap them with IBATs.

4.	Connect your crypto wallet to PancakeSwap

IBAT is now listed on the PancakeSwap exchange. Once you have purchased BNB, you must connect your crypto wallet to this exchange. First, ensure that the network is Binance, then go to the Browser option on MetaMask. Search for PancakeSwap exchange there and simply proceed with Connect. You can follow [this guide](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/get-started/connection-guide) for more assistance. 

5.	Buy IBAT coins

Now, go to the PancakeSwap dashboard and select the swap option. Here, search for IBAT tokens and pick them. Then type the amount of BNBs you would like to swap for IBATs and note the slippage tolerance. Recheck all the details and proceed with Confirm Swap to complete the purchase of IBAT coins. 

6.	Import IBATs

The last step is importing the contract address of IBAT tokens to your MetaMask wallet. Go to the Import Tokens option on your wallet and enter the address there. Also, you have to add the coin’s symbol and decimal and finally proceed to add tokens.

Battle Infinity: A Beginner's Guide

[Moonray](https://moonray.game/) is a blockchain game that allows you to earn money. It runs on the Cardano blockchain and is similar to other roleplaying games that use collectable cards as NFT.

It supports various game modes, including 4v4 arenas and large-scale battle royale environments. You can also fight against more than 50 other players in their melee battle royale map while exploring Moonray's captivating world.

## Moonray NFT explained

It is a surreal action roleplaying game that runs on PCs and consoles and employs blockchain technology. It runs on the [Cardano](/news/article/cardano-samsung-climate-change) blockchain and recently raised $3.5 million through the sale of collectable non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that will be used to build the project's [metaverse](/news/article/burberry-collection-minecraft-metaverse). 

The game is similar to hack and slash in that most battles will be melee battles with combat weapons such as swords and blades. Secondary weapons, such as guns, are sometimes used. Before the launch, the developers released a mini-game, Journey to Moonray, to showcase innovative algorithms and fluid movements.

The Moonray NFT project has raised eyebrows in the gaming community due to its use of the industry-leading game engine, Unreal Engine.

This blockchain game is built on [Bitcoin](/news/article/bitex-trade-bitcoin) via Stacks. This means that smart contracts with Bitcoin enable the development of applications while benefiting from the credibility and high security of the Bitcoin network.

It has recently moved to the Ethereum [blockchain](/news/article/what-is-blockchain). Its digital security enables the ledger to be more transparent for its users by using blockchain to authenticate transactions. The developers and creators of Moonray have yet to reveal more information about the game in general.

## What's Moonray's unique point?

Moonray stands out from other NFT games because of its distinctive and engaging soundtrack. Moonray chose the Walking With Elephants soundtrack, designed by Ten Walls, a musician well-known for his highly original music.

Players can anticipate that the soundtrack will flawlessly complement its visuals. Modern visual effects and beat-synchronised shaders abound in Moonray. Your adventure of world exploration includes these effects.

You can purchase dynamic shader skins in the game to personalise your character and gain new abilities with them. Moonray NFT is more appealing to gamers because it is fast-paced that relies on critical thinking rather than how quickly you can smash your keyboard.

## Tokenomics and monetisation strategy

As of right now, no official tokens have been released. Republic Crypto has announced that they will be working on the game's tokenomics. As with other NFT and blockchain games, players can expect two tokens: in-game currency and governance.

According to reports, Moonray will support multiple tokens, including their upcoming MNRY token. The [token](/news/article/time-tokens) is intended to improve the in-game functionality and utility.

## Bottom line

Moonray NFT is quite an ambitious project, in contrast to the vast number of blockchain-based games. It departs from the typical perception of NFT games, where the focus is frequently on trading rather than gameplay, and is something real gamers might be interested in.

The developers have already invested much money and time into the game to create a memorable, distinctive universe. They are still working on it because they want it to be a AAA multiplayer project.

There is every reason to believe that Moonray will become a revolutionary product on the market, serving as a bridge between the NFT trade and traditional games.
