The term “metaverse” came into prominence after the 2014 hit movie Ready Player One. It depicted a VR world where everyone works, shops, and plays in the same virtual world. The term was first used in the book, Iron Man, by Ernest Cline. This future-forward book is the result of many years of research and development. Its plot is based on the ideas behind the popular head-up display. However, its future uses may be far more exciting than these examples suggest.

A metaverse game can be developed on the Ethereum blockchain, and it will eventually use its own currency called ENJ. The coin will allow players to pay for any virtual goods within the platform. Once created, players can sell and trade these items for ENJ, which is a limited supply. As with any currency, the ENJ is used to fund the platform and is the currency in the Metaverse. The creation of a metaverse will also lead to decentralized finance, governance, and smart contracts.

While a virtual world is a great opportunity for the next generation of technology, a metaverse has its disadvantages. Its lack of a central gateway makes it difficult to access. In contrast, a real-world virtual world would have a central hub, which would enable people to interact with each other, and vice-versa. A hyper-reality virtual world would be a hub for all people to access. This would not be possible without a central hub, and it would make it easy for users to trade items and services with each other.
