1) Welcome to #Futureverse, the culmination of 5 years of strategy, research and the development of the foundation for a scalable #OpenMetaverse infrastructure with world-class content and community at its core.

Step into the future at futureverse.xyz.

👇🧵

2) The #metaverse represents a potentially limitless digital future, where much of what we love will reside. But, with a handful of companies monopolizing our current #Web2 experience, the threat of corporate control of #Web3 is ever-present.

Enter the #OpenMetaverse 👇

3) The #OpenMetaverse is the next evolution of the internet and digital economy: decentralized, trustless, community-owned and secure, where boundless immersion meets autonomy and ownership.

But this digital utopia can’t exist without an unshakeable foundation…👇

4) Futureverse is the engine for a truly #OpenMetaverse. A set of tools at the infrastructure, protocol, content and application layers, built with #UX, #interoperability, privacy and #security in mind. Over 200 visionaries have joined forces to see this future realized.

5) Futureverse is comprised of 7 key components, from our own #decentralized #blockchain, DIDs, delegation and communications layers, to payment networks, AI protocol and rich content, designed with storytelling and community at heart.

Let’s dive in to the essentials 👇

6) The Root Network is a decentralized blockchain network optimized for user experience and on-boarding, featuring a Substrate core, EVM support for smart contracts, custom runtimes for Non-Fungible assets, a multi-token economy, liquidity & asset bridges and more.

7) $Mycelium

Mycelium will power Futureverse’s dual-token economy. Use cases range from governance of the Root Network protocol and use by node validators to secure the Proof of Stake network, to the in-game token for the @flufworld ecosystem.

8) For the #OpenMetaverse to work seamlessly, we need a uniform way to identify ‘things’ in the system. Our W3C Decentralized Digital ID (DID) protocol enables interaction with apps across the #metaverse, in a way that preserves privacy and enables interoperability.

9) Doughnuts (Decentralized Cookies) are a patent-pending protocol enabling proof-of-delegation between addresses. Using Doughnuts helps to make wallet transactions safer, allowing fine grained access to assets for a deeply secure user experience.

10) It’s essential to the #OpenMetaverse that non-value based exchanges like #comms are as decentralized as the blockchains beneath them. The @Sylo Network and @Seekers_XYZ NFT project uses off-chain, decentralized infrastructure to add this integral layer above the Root Network.

11) #AI is an invaluable tool set to power the next generation of web experiences. @altstatemachine works across two key axes: The ASM Protocol & the ASM Platform, bringing accessible #machinelearning to games, #metaverse experiences, financial agents, personal assistants & more.

12) Engaging content is at the heart of every thriving ecosystem. Our open world will see our lore and character development brought to life through partnerships with some of the world’s largest IP rights holders in the film, TV, social media, sports and music industries.

13) Our future is a limitless one. Through #Futureverse, we aim to onboard and engage the next generation of #Web3 users, laying the foundation for a free, secure and #OpenMetaverse that will thrive for generations to come.

14) Today, we’re proud to release our whitepaper, outlining our shared vision, and the individual components required to see #Futureverse and the #OpenMetaverse experiences it will enable prosper.

The future starts now 👇
