Introduction

Metaverse is a public blockchain project that aims to provide decentralized services based on digital assets, digital identity and value intermediaries in order to build an open ecosystem in which digital value can be freely circulated. Detailed information can be found in our white paper (http://newmetaverse.org/white-paper/Metaverse-white-paper-v2.1-EN.pdf), which is actively being revised.
