  • The most likely route to first see this will be within the metaverse (a virtual reality space), gaming and NFTs. I also believe we will begin to see a larger push for and enhancement of DAOs (decentralised autonomous organisations). This can be both from new protocols entering but also existing protocols enhancing their proposition to allow for more user engagement.

  • NFTs are and can only exist on the blockchain in an individual’s wallet. This means unless you agree to set up a crypto wallet, you will and can never officially own an NFT. Somebody can buy one and say it is yours for sure, but you only own that asset if you own the private keys to the wallet they are held in.

  • My vision for the metaverse is something a lot better than that lack of originality in a place where you can build and do anything. I wanted to bring a bit more originality to the metaverse and keep it decentralized, which is why I came up with a mixture of a gaming metaverse and DeFi (decentralized finance) protocol.
