The metaverse is also known as the metaverse, metaphysical universe, metaverse, metaverse, and virtual space. It is a persistent and decentralized online 3D virtual environment where all events occur in real-time and have permanent impact.
The metaverse is seen as the next revolution of the internet. However, there is still no clear consensus on the ultimate form of the metaverse from all walks of life. At present, there are several recognized core attributes of the metaverse.
01 Boundless
As a 3D virtual space, the metaverse eliminates obstacles to physical form. It is an endless space with no restrictions on the number of participants who can use it simultaneously, the types of activities that can be carried out, and the number of industries that can be entered.
It is open source and open, and all participants can create in the metaverse according to their different needs. The users of the metaverse are the consumers and creators within the metaverse.
02 Persistent
The sustainability of the universe is reflected in two aspects: firstly, there is no "shutdown" or "restart" operation in the metaverse, and users can freely connect to the metaverse using devices anywhere in the world, ensuring a continuous user experience.
This feature can blur the user's sense of unreality when entering the metaverse, making it a parallel world with the real world; The second is that the metaverse will not stop or be reset, but will continue to develop indefinitely in an open source and open manner. Each participant in the metaverse is not only a "user" of the metaverse, but also a "creator" who ensures its sustainable development.
03 Immersive
Having high fidelity is a fundamental condition for constructing a metaverse. Everything that happens in the real world can be synchronized in the metaverse. The development of virtual reality technology, somatosensory technology, and interactive technology allows participants to have a high degree of immersion in the metaverse. In this virtual space, humans can fully mobilize their senses to participate in the metaverse world. As a highly realistic virtual space, the metaverse also has the ability to change the environment, color, and brightness according to user needs.
04 Decentralization
Decentralization has two meanings in the metaverse: firstly, the metaverse operates in a decentralized manner and does not belong to a specific platform or company; The second point is that the network architecture of the metaverse is decentralized.
In recent years, technological advancements have made decentralized networks possible. A decentralized network is the process of distributing data processing work across multiple devices, without relying on a single central server. Each unit device is a mini central processing unit that can interact independently with other nodes.
05 Economic System
The economic system is the foundation that can ensure effective organization and allocation of production factors and resources. As a mapping of the real world, constructing a virtual economic system is an essential part of the entire metaverse architecture. The virtual economy not only allows participants to exchange digital assets in the virtual world, but also stimulates more participants to output content in the metaverse
06 Social experience
The development of the Internet has changed people's lives, and the social interaction in the Internet era has overturned people's traditional social patterns. The metaverse will further expand the boundaries of internet social interaction. The core of the metaverse is every user who "lives" in this virtual space, where all participants can experience, create, and share the generated content together.
The traditional order in the real world has been completely broken under the "decentralized" operating mode, and the metaverse that blurs the boundaries between reality and virtual will create completely new social relationships and experiences.
