2/ With the community we are building the Kusamaverse, a real-time and persistent 3D home for the Kusama ecosystem. We bring utility to the metaverse, enabling a new way for users to navigate, connect and contribute to and benefit from the Kusama ecosystem.
3/ A place where the Kusama community can gather, engage into on-chain and off-chain activities, tailored to collective value creation, and can build their own social network economy.
4/ Where activities like staking, parachain auctions, treasury and governance, as well as gatherings, hackathons, policy making are directly accessible as a shared experience in the metaverse.
5/ You can read all about what we delivered in Milestone 1 in this thread:
Users can attach multiple wallets to the same Momentum user account.
(Btw, Nova is demoing in Momentum as we speak!)
7/ Mobile use: Bringing in ‘'Kusamaverse on the go!'
Users can join all gatherings and make use of essential meeting features (audio/ video-call) from their mobile.
We look forward to seeing this work combination of the Stage Mode (Twitter spaces in the metaverse).
8/ Staking UI upgrade
Staking flow tailored to non-tech native user.
Staking should be 10x user friendly. Enhanced staking user experience and flow.
Users can bond more funds, unbond, change controller, change reward.
9/ Parachains go next level.
Real-time, on-chain Parachain data visualized and interactive in the 3D world.
Parachain collators of different parachains can claim their space and grow their nominator community, just like the KSM operators can do now.
10/ Parachains auctions/ crowdloans and real-life data visualised and interactive
We turn the parachain actions into a shared social experience in the metaverse through live visualisation and direct interaction.
11/ Aspiring parachains get a space where they can represent themselves, host gatherings and build their campaign.
Users can bond directly in parachain crowdloans. The auction (race, winning and celebration) process is a shared experience, fully visual and engaging in 3d.
12/ One of the most sexy things: Governance!
We're making Polkassembly available in the metaverse. All relevant formal and informal democracy, council and treasury elements of Polkassembly are visual (2d, 3d) and directly interactive.
13/ We believe all users should have a clear understanding of the “governance journey” and stages in which they can participate. And then of course, being about to actually participate.
Like this proposal is up for discussion and moves to voting stage.
14/ It would be interesting to see initiatives, that do a proposal and have their own space in Momentum, to host AMAs and provide updates on progress, etc.
This way we make it easy to find the people behind the proposal, provide input, feedback and support them.
15/ While we are at it, we are also hosting an AMA session on this proposal! (such surprise, so amaze!)
16/ This is just a tweet in between... to take a breath... because there's more and it's not the least!
17/ Hackathons are c̶o̶m̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ back in Momentum!
We used to run the largest physical (web3) hackathons in Europe, with about 2500 participants in one building.
When covid-19 came, we decided to pivot and radically change.
18/ Inspired by massively multiplayer online gaming, we created our own software technology that brings together all the people, projects, and activities into one shared 3D space where the action happens.
We called it: MOMENTUM.
Online hackathons used to be lonenly experiences.
19/ It's astonishing to see how thousands of people collaborate and co-create together online, in one space. Now all those teams can learn from each-other and benefit from the capabilities of all participants.
20/ In Milestone 2, we're on a mission to turn hackathons into one of the secret weapons of the Dotsama ecosystem and provide one of the most powerful innovation spaces possible.
Don't take our word for it. See what others say:
21/ User activity time-lines
The metaverse is all about activities, so the focus of these timelines will be on activities. Users want to know what is happening and how you can participate. There are timelines on world level, space level and personal level.
22/ Each space has its own timeline, so you can see which space is active. When you connect to a space, those updates appear on your own timeline. The world timeline accumulates all activities from all spaces.
We believe this will boost a lot of activity.
23/ NFTs!1!1!! - Users can display NFTs in their profile and spaces in the Kusamaverse, enabling Web3 window shopping.
24/ Last but not least, the guided tour. Come fly with me!
An on-boarding movie. Explaining everything. No login needed to see this movie.
The ‘fly with me’ feature. Tour mode to simply show or be shown around without any flying skills. Sit back and let someone show you around.
25/ As mentioned this Milestone 2 proposal has been written with input from the community 🙏.
We'd really appreciate your feedback, further suggestions/ input on this scope and support.
1/ A couple of hours ago we publicly launched Kusamaverse in @MomentumXYZ.
We were joined by 284 fellow Dotsamanauts. Wow! That was quite a ride!
We’d like to share what we’ve learned, what went well, what absolutely sucked monkey balls, and everything in between. 👇
2/ For starters... We are happy to learn why Kusama exists in the first place: Experiment in production. Embrace the chaos, learn from it and move forward. This always was in our DNA from day one… and today with the launch we ticked all the boxes (again) for sure ;)
3/ What went well: We gathered a big pile of amazing information, with 250+ users online at the same time interacting in the 3D world. Any issues that occurred are quite easy to iron out. The overall system held up nicely. And the #dotsama community love… WoW such Vibes <3
