Well many people suggest that metaverse to be the future technology. Metaverse is like a virtual reality where you can interact with people just by entering a virtual world.

Metaverse aims to be a virtual platform that allows individuals to have access with device where they can interact with people and feel like it's real

A lot of news going around the internet right now about metaverse and it's a big deal for the internet blockchain technology cryptocurrency over the next coming years. Many people discuss about how it's a massive trend and a huge game changer. But what is this metaverse? Why is it such a big deal? What are it's uses?.

One of the main reason for this is, facebook has rebranded itself to be called META i.e to ficus on the metaverse. Earlier this year, news have been spreading about this. The CEO of the FacebookMark Zuckerberg said" we are going to pivot the vision of facebook itself from being a social media company platform to a metaverse company,Currently, this came through. Facebook changed it's name to meta, it's a parent company which owns the Facebook social media app that we use. So if you are using like facebook, the app it's just to be called facebook but thr parent company that owns Facebook oculus Instagram, thats being rebranded meta to focus on the metaverse and thats a pretty significant deal because facebook is a massive gaint and they decide they are going to scrap their old strategy and start focusing on this.

This change is actually a pretty big reason why we are seeing crypto market continues to do well. Yea investors are trying to allocate capital and now as metaversevhas come into equation, its another reason why people will be using blockchaik in the first place.

Metaverse is an embodied internet. It take to a 3 dimensional(3d) experience. You can think about technologies like virtual reality, we have a headset and we are fully immersed in a different world or augmented reality where you can see the world around you.

The metaverse is a different space, altogether that's not controlled by any centralized platform and this is what makes possible by blockchain technology. This is the open link that makes an open internet where you can do things like you own a property or own a digital asset that isn't under anybody's central control but you can actually take thses things and move them around and transfer ownership freely inside the embodied internet experience.

2). Explain why Metaverse and Blockchain are compatible technology pairs.

Well, the reason why metaverse and blockchain are competible technology pair is because they arr being decentralized i.e it's not being controlled by any third party that makes it work perfectly. People under blockchain technology have full control of their digital asset as the proffered metaverse are expected to be.

Owner will have full control of their property without involving any third party ot institutions comtrolling it for them.

In blockchain technology, users transfers token to another user directly to his or her address and its very fast. So in metaverse, it required to make transfer from one person directly to the other person. This is also why metaverse and blockchain are compatible technology.

Metaverse is being seen to be a virtual world which will be decemtralized and this is also applicable to blockchain technology which has been decentralized. One can have access to it's property anytime they wish to, due to it's decentralization.

DECENTRALAND (MANA)


Decentraland is the oldest metaverse cryptocurreny. Decentraland is said to be a 3d virtual reality platform which is decentralized, where you can buy a digital land in the central and build whatever you want to build on it and then people will start coming and view your art and also view your land then when the land goes up in value, you can sell it and make profit through selling it or by charging people to visit your land.

Decentralamd token is called (MANA). Below are it's detailes as for the time i was writing this homework.


MANA price$3.28
Rank37
Marketcap$5,984,697,171
Trading volume 24h$3,667,669,730
Fully diluted marketcap$7,192,969,537
Circulating supply1.82B
Volume / market cap0.6107
Websitedecentraland.org

The biggest attraction to decentraland is that, it has virtual parties, virtual events where many different people can come in and watch a lot of amazing art for free.

Although, in decentraland, there are many server, so if you are on different sever, you cannot see your friends, you cannot see other people that are on different server. Also there are lot of lag when you are playing decentraland.

Lets compare decentraland to real world company. So we can have a better understanding of how big decentraland can go. The most similar company to decentraland is "ROBLOX". Roblox is an online game where people can buld there own virtual world and create anything they can imagine to create.

CONCLUSIVELY


Metaverse is just a virtual world and you can do everything inside virtual world. The project that is focusing on this is decentralized, they are project that has been around for quite some time. A virtual world is kind of fundamental feature of an embodied internet because there's so much that you can do inside the metaverse and this is powered by Nft technology or non fungible token. Thanks to professor @wahunarul for this wonderful lecture, i really learnt a lot.
