BE CURIOUS, BE BRAVE. Our goal is to hopefully demystify and simplify some jargon allowing more people to learn about web3, metaverse, and its implications on brands.

We don’t claim to be experts but have gathered resources, our own thinking, and experiences to help another curious mind jump in.

Let’s go.

This is a hard one as the metaverse is more of a moment than one particular thing. It’s also evolving, however, we have collected some great explanations for some smart minds. (sources referenced)

The metaverse is a persistent, 3D, virtual world—a network of interconnected experiences and devices, tools and infrastructure, far beyond mere virtual reality. And it is poised to revolutionize every industry and function, from finance and healthcare to payments, consumer products, and even sex work. The internet will no longer be at arm’s length; instead, it will surround us, with our lives, labor, and leisure taking place inside the metaverse. With sweeping authority, The Metaverse predicts trillions in new value—and the radical reshaping of society.
