This 🧵is an introduction to #MGenesis, the first themed microverse that will launch on @themetapolis Metaverse platform.
Nothing in this thread is financial advice.
If you have not already, please review my previous two threads on: the Metaverse, Metaverse-As-A-Service (MAAS), and The Metapolis. This will provide the proper background you need to understand what MGenesis is. 👇👇
As we know, Metapolis is seeking to revolutionize the Metaverse space through creating the first MAAS (Metaverse as a Service) platform to onboard many companies, brands, and other organizations onto the Metaverse.
Metapolis also seeks to make its Metaverse accessible to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds. For example, the standards and outputs of the Avatars used in Metapolis have different Poly levels to accommodate the hardware levels and accessibility capabilities of the masses 👇
Therefore, two main themes of the Metapolis are: ease of onboarding (MAAS) and ease of accessibility. This will make Metapolis designed to truly appeal to people of all skill levels in technology and all socioeconomic backgrounds.
People have been eagerly waiting for Metapolis to open its doors to the public. We will not have to wait much longer for the taste of a true grand, mainstream Metaverse experience.
It has been announced that #MGenesis will be launching in the Metapolis Metaverse. What is MGenesis? It is the first Microverse, or sub-metaverse, launching on the Metapolis platform. 
This is what many people in the Metaverse/Web 3 community have been waiting for: a new Metaverse that is truly mainstream and accessible to everyone: a new platform for people build their space in #thenextinternet.
We need virtual world that can bring people from all sections of Web 2 and Web 3 together. And MGenesis will finally give people their first experience at doing just that.
Let’s go over the information we have available so far on #MGenesis and its implications for the whole of Metapolis.
MGenesis will be made of 5000 combined sets of two parts each: the land parcel and the dome parcel. Each user will be able to own up to four sets each.
The land parcel will be 10 x 10 sqm long. It will be the actual digital land that the dome rests on.
The dome parcel will be the component of the two that is customizable. Each land parcel automatically comes with a dome. The dome is what the user will be able to customize and convert into their own personal space.
Whether this is a party room, a meditation center, a gaming area, NFT gallery, or just a place to hang out, this is your personal space in the Metaverse to create.
What is very interesting about the dome parcel of MGenesis is that it will present one of the first and major tools of Metapolis, which is the World Builder.
The World Builder is the UI (User Interface) tool that will enable the user to build and customize the dome parcel.
Watch this video to learn more about the World Builder:
From the video, we can see that there many categories of different digital assets, or structures, for us to choose from to build the inside of a house, such as different furniture and plants.
The World Builder uses a drag and drop feature to bring different assets into your space and move them around.
The look at World Builder gives us a good glimpse of what the Metapolis experience will be like. Remember, it is engagement that is needed to sustain an economy.
A DeFi protocol is technically an economy. A Play and Earn GameFi project is an economy. Social media is technically the Attention Economy. Our attention is monetized to fuel this attention economy on YouTube and Twitter.
Now what is interesting is that the World Builder video introduces a term called the “Creator Economy”. We know the term “creator” is used all the time in social media, in the context of the attention economy.
But when the phrase “creator economy” is used in the context of the Metaverse, we literally see that it is a true haven for creators. This creates an entire Metaverse world of active participants, not just people who are watching others from the sidelines!
A successful Metaverse would encourage others to participate and provide sustained and active engagement. It should enable its users to actually create in the Metaverse: creating and customizing DIGITAL ASSETS, such as your own dome parcel in the case of MGenesis.
The dome parcels will be personalized and will represent the user’s creativity. But the dome parcel is just the tip of the iceberg as to what users will be able to create and customize in Metapolis.
Think of all the possibilities. What else will users be able to create? Digital buildings, cars, stadiums, gardens, parks, clubs, bars, or completely alien worlds that no human has thought of before, who knows?
And that is why something like the World Builder is important because it is a simple UI (User Interface) tool.
The World Builder is made to be easily used by anybody, whether it is someone who is starting to transition a large company or brand into the Metaverse via MAAS, or whether it is a just a Web 3 enthusiast like you or me wanting to have fun.
Think of something like @TheSims or @animalcrossing. If you ever played those games, you know how addicting they are because they are continuously encouraging engagement by simulating a true Metaverse virtual reality.
But this time, imagine that you can actually own the assets you worked so hard to build and customize in the digital world, assets that you can benefit from in many different ways. THIS is the creator economy, Web 3 style.
Another final look at the World Builder design tool:
Now let’s get into other aspects of the Genesis Microverse.
#MGenesis is built on these key themes: exploration, survival, social building, and quests. The overall umbrella theme here is gamification. As we know: 5000 land/dome parcels will be managed by up to 5000 users, or MGeners.
MGeners will be able to form guilds with other users and protect their town from attacks from others. As mentioned in the previous Metapolis threads, people will be represented in the Metapolis by their avatars, or their digital representations of them in the Metaverse.
Avatars and guild conquer-based competition will be huge aspects of the gamification theme.
Avatar management will be important in MGenesis. This means that we will not be just building and designing domes. We will be playing multiplayer guild-based conquer, social building and quest-based Metaverse games with our Avatars.
Social building will be an important task in MGenesis, where further social engagement with others is needed to ensure that Avatars are well connected and satisfied, SIMS style.
This creates an immersive, unique, collaborative and competitive multi-faceted experience in the Metapolis.
As hinted before, the user’s progress in Metapolis will be rewarded and recorded. We will be able to earn rewards. Gaming guild groups and individual avatars will both be able to “level up”. More to come on what that will entail.
What is quite interesting is the wearable technology. People will be able to have wearable technology to connect their physical movements to the avatar itself. This feature will be available in MGenesis.
So it won’t be in the far future where we have to wait a long time for a new Metapolis feature. It will be available for MGenesis!
Taking real life movement and applying it to your virtual avatar through wearable technology is a true exciting and innovative aspect of the Metaverse that we have not seen up to this point in Web 3.
Another aspect mentioned in regards to the Metapolis UI is the HUD Dashboard, or the Head Up Display Dashboard.
When you wear a HUD-based virtual reality headset, such as a @MetaQuestVR headset, you can see a display of data that does not require you to focus your attention away from what you are looking at in front of you.
Maybe when a message from someone else comes, you can see it pop up right away in the corner of your field of vision. This is important for seamless user experience and UI, just like you see in those science fiction movies.
It will be exciting to see what type of wearable technology will be available for Metapolis and MGenesis users.
Now how does one get started in exploring #MGenesis right away? It is not out yet, but it will be soon.
3500 Whitelist spots will be released soon. This means that 3500 sets of land and parcels will be available at $1500 each for the Whitelist.
The public sale will be 1500 land and dome parcel sets at $2000 each.
In my opinion, this is a solid pricing for Metaverse lands. Many Metaverse lands are more expensive even though they are years away from being fully available for use.
$1500 to $2000 for a soon-to-be-used Metaverse land + dome set that is fully customizable and forever owned by you is very affordable when you consider that this is the first series of lands coming out for Metapolis.
As we have seen in the past, the original series of any type of digital asset collection usually accrues in value the most and the quickest.
Also, when determining the value of your MGenesis land + plot set, remember that @sandra_tlibe has stated that the MGenesis participants will have “first mover’s advantage and unlock a wide range of exclusivity, ownership in the Metaverse and access."
It has also been confirmed that $Zil will be confirmed as one of the methods for payment. @Zilliqa community stand up!
Community engagement is the key to the success of any economy. And make no mistake about it: @themetapolis is creating a real Creator Economy in the context of Web 3.
Social Media was Web 2’s version of the Creator Economy. But the social media-based Web 2 Creator Economy was more confined to the Attention Economy.
This means that the Creators in Web 2 were more focused on farming other people’s attention with their tweets or videos to maintain their platform. They were the main creators of the “former internet”.
Now, we have the next internet. @themetapolis is #TheNextInternet. In Metapolis, EVERYONE will technically be a creator to a greater extent. That means that everyone in Metapolis will automatically be contributing more to the economy.
This is the main difference between the Metaverse and social media. In Metapolis, it will be a true economy with more equal-level exchange, where everyone will be more engaged to provide each other value through what they are creating.
For example, everyone in the Metapolis will automatically be using and managing an Avatar. Everyone in MGenesis will already be owning and customizing their land and dome parcels. So EVERYONE is, by default, a creator AND a viewer at the same time.
There is no longer a divide between the creators and anonymous viewers like in Youtube and Twitter. That divide is gone in the Metaverse.
Which means you now have potentially thousands and eventually millions of people putting a more balanced and higher level of engagement into this true Creator Economy to keep it sustainable, fun, and possibly lucrative for many people in many ways.
In this way, the Metapolis will be a true pioneer in the Metaverse space by decentralizing not just the attention of the masses, but the active participation, creative ability and creative products of the masses.
Everyone will be encouraged to be active participants of this virtual world. And much more people will be rewarded for the work that they put into the Metapolis, depending on what they are creating. It will be much easier for people to create here.
How long did a viewer of Youtube stay an anoynmous viewer before finally deciding that they wanted to create a video? Something like that is not likely to happen in @themetapolis. People will be creating and interacting with each other right away.
When the real Creator Economy takes off, the possibilities with what you can create in the Metapolis are endless in any sector: business, art, finance, social networking, gaming, or just having fun.
Wait, there is a cool contest too.
One lucky participant of the MGenesis community will be flown out to Dubai to meet with the Metapolis team, hang out and do some sightseeing! 👀👀👀
It will be helpful to use the #MGenesis tag to tag and tweet @themetapolis to increase social engagement as much as possible. Threads, tweets, memes, etc. are all encouraged!
Stay tuned for the release of #MGenesis coming soon, and more @themetapolis news and the contest mentioned above.
