4 Exciting New Crypto Metaverse Projects Coming Soon

The promise of the metaverse has many new prospective projects vying to become top dog in this exciting new world. With Microsoft and Meta (formerly Facebook) joining the fray, new independent projects are increasingly looking to create a space for people to spend their time.

With some designed as a social experience and others closer to gaming, it remains to be seen how they will be received by the public when they are released and start to generate some steam.

Let’s look at four of the more exciting metaverse projects coming soon:

STARL

The Starl Metaverse is a space-themed environment where individuals can buy and sell virtual real estate, purchase satellites to use or rent to others, create, sell and buy NFTs, or interact with other people in the metaverse with customisable avatars in the 3D virtual space that makes up part of the Star-link ecosystem.

The virtual land will mimic a real-world space station positioned in an actual quadrant of our galaxy. The $STARL token will be used as a tool to purchase virtual land in the metaverse as well as a way to vote and play a role in the governance of the project.

Bloktopia

Bloktopia is a tokenised decentralised virtual reality (VR) crypto skyscraper powered by the Polygon network where $BLOK holders, also known as Bloktopians, can purchase digital real estate on one of the 21 levels of the virtual high-rise. The massive ‘building’ will also be home to various merchants where players can buy digital collectibles and services, or just hang out if they want to.

Bloktopia will provide an unprecedented VR experience for the crypto community, bringing users together all in one immersive and engaging environment.

Users will have access to crypto information and immersive content all in one place, where they can learn in an open and friendly environment in VR. Bloktopians will be able to earn revenue through real estate ownership and advertising, play games, build networks and much more.

Somnium Space

Somnium is a realistic open VR world with its own digital economy (CUBE virtual currency) that players can use for purchasing NFTs on the marketplace, along with using it for games, social experiences and virtual land ownership. One of the impressive features of the game is that it will be cross-platform and fully accessible from any device, from 2D mode on a user’s desktop to an immersive VR mode on a desktop or mobile.

The project has partnered with OpenSea’s online platform to use the marketplace for exchanging collectibles, while a partnership with Matic allows the use of its second layer to bring speed and close to zero costs to users for in-game transactions. The game has been out for a while, though only recently started making headway after being made available on Steam.

The project has partnered with Sony to use its 3D model creation technology, allowing users to create fully embodied avatars of themselves in minutes alongside any 3D models for Somnium Store. Users will also be able to program their own experience and monetise it through the asset store or on their property.

The Uplift

The Uplift metaverse is a Minecraft-based massive multiplay NFT virtual environment where players can build, play, and own their parts in the world.

In their explorations, players can mine the native token Upliftium (WAXP), but according to The Uplift’s official page WAXP can mainly be obtained by staking “battery” marked NFTs within the game or on the marketplace. Players will need to purchase a “passport” to be able to play and earn within the game, otherwise it’s more like regular Minecraft.

The project has been running for a while now and has even dedicated a piece of land as an art gallery. The Exhibition Spotlight is a series intended to highlight some artists that are being showcased in the Uplift World Metaverse’s various art galleries, which will later be replaced by a new exhibit.
