1/ The #Metaverse as an investment theme has been gaining traction as #VR , #NFTs, and gaming collide to create new & interesting virtual worlds.

With @indexcoop's $MVI and @PieDAO_DeFi's $PLAY coming out soon, I wanted to offer a high-level overview of both index options.

🎮👇
2/ Before I dive into the funds, for a breakdown of the potential opportunity set within the #Metaverse sector, I highly recommend @Delphi_Digital/@BitkraftVC's @pierskicks' essay below.

3/ Investment Objective

Both funds provide diversified exposure to #Ethereum projects that focus on virtual ownership through #NFTs, gaming, #VR and entertainment.

The creator economy coupled with increasing time spent in virtual spaces contribute to the #Metaverse theme.
4/ $MVI Methodology

$MVI will invest in projects in @coingecko's #NFTs, Entertainment, #VR, #AR, & Music sectors that have (a):

🎮 Market cap >$30m

🎮 Reasonable DEX liquidity

🎮 3-mo track record

This is a liquidity-adj. market cap weighted index.

5/ $PLAY Methodology

The $PLAY Index provides exposure to the most relevant projects in the segment.

Individual weightings are capped at 20% of the portfolio. @nftx's @0xChop's expanded proposal includes #NFT indices (e.g. $PUNK & $SOCKS).

6/ Asset Allocation

Here is a quick snapshot of the most recently available proposed weightings for each fund. The third column shows the overweight/underweight of @PieDAO_DeFi's $PLAY versus @indexcoop's $MVI. Image
7/ General Observations

🎮 Liquidity of the underlying tokens will be a primary focus for both funds given the smaller size of the projects.

🎮 The $NFTX funds included in $PLAY provide more direct exposure to #NFTs whereas $MVI branches out into related sectors (e.g. music).
8/ General Observations

🎮 Both have unique projects that standout (e.g. $MVI includes the virtual casino @DecentralGames' $DG token, $PLAY includes DeFi x NFT crossover @aavegotchi's $GHST token).

🎮 $PLAY is slightly more concentrated (average holding size of 7.1% vs 6.7%).
9/ Conclusion

This is not a recommendation of one fund over the other, just my general observations. DYOR.

Make sure if you are a holder of $INDEX or $DOUGH to vote on the proposals. Governance is important!

The #Metaverse is coming.
Are you ready to play? 🎮
10/ Shoutout to both the @PieDAO_DeFi and @indexcoop teams for creating indices in such an exciting space.

@DarkForestCap and @verto0912 put together the $MVI proposal. @MessariCrypto's @masonnystrom is also assisting.

@Alexintosh and @0xChop put together the $PLAY proposal.

1/ Issue 16: The Broken Mirror // An Overview of #NFT Fractionalization 🪞🧩

In this issue, we highlight some potential benefits and use cases for fractionalization, review some of the major players in the space, and discuss some existing criticisms.

🧵👇
3/ What is #NFT fractionalization?

F-NFTs are NFTs that have been locked in a smart contract and split into a quantity of ERC-20 tokens. Each token represents partial ownership of the NFT. Governance over the NFT is then delegated to a broad community of fraction holders.

1/ Issue 11: Decentralized Insurance: From Babylon to Web3 ⚖️🖥️

In this issue, we briefly explore the history of insurance to contextualize the progression to #Web3 parametric and mutual insurance models as exemplified by @etherisc and @NexusMutual.

🧵👇
2/ Here is a link to the full piece:

acceleratedcapital.substack.com/p/decentralize…
3/ Two major themes to highlight:

⚖️ Historically, insurance was driven by community (e.g. benevolent societies of Greece). The #Web3 era is seeing a return to the community model.
⚖️ When insurance companies are gutted in favor of programmatic smart contracts, costs decline.

1/ Issue 5: @indexcoop - The #Crypto BlackRock 🦉🏦

#DAOs are transparent, accessible, and democratic.

This piece is a case study looking at one of the most successful DAO communities to date: @indexcoop.

Their mission: create a decentralized BlackRock for the digital era.

🧵
2/ Before we get started, this tweetstorm is a truncated version of the longer piece. Check out the full piece and subscribe here:

3/ @ljxie defines a DAO as:

"…a group organized around a mission that coordinates through a shared set of rules enforced on a blockchain."

With the recent DAO bill in the WY legislature (h/t @awrigh01), it's important to understand these entities.

1/ The Curation Game in the works at @TheMetaFactory is a fascinating example of decentralized product selection within a #DAO.

If you haven't heard, @TheMetaFactory is a collectively owned & managed producer of digi-physical goods, connecting the #Metaverse with IRL fashion. Image
2/ First a quick look at digi-physical goods.

Clothing purchased from @TheMetaFactory includes embedded microchips that allow verification of authenticity on-chain.

In addition, #NFTs are issued so you can sport your physical item in virtual worlds.

3/ But The Curation Game is where things get interesting.

The $ROBOT token, which is used for governance, will enable a form of curation mining where designers create product ideas and curators stake their $ROBOT tokens on the designs they like.

1/ Our second issue is out.

In this issue, we discuss global labor arbitrage and the #Metaverse by looking at the history of MMORPG gold farming and the future of #playtoearn gaming.

This is done through the lens of @YieldGuild, a Metaverse recruitment agency.

Link/thread 👇
3/ @Its_Falcon_Time refers here to the #Metaverse as a set of digital nations.

We agree with this metaphor.

The #Metaverse with its shared on-chain history, vibrant meme culture, & the developing spatial Webaverse is best understood in this way.
