Metaverse Starts With .ME – Top 5 Metaverse Projects We’re Excited About

The .ME domain has come a long way from just being the country code domain for Montenegro. Today it’s universally accepted as the synonym for personal online presence. .ME became the favorite domain for brands whose goal is to establish a closer relationship with the customer. 

And this isn’t the only way in which .ME is used. “ME” is a common letter combination in many languages, and can be used in many different ways. It can be used as a domain hack, for example. Furthermore, many creators and businesses in the Middle East use .ME to emphasize that they are based in the Middle East.

Another use case for .ME is the metaverse. Metaverse starts with “ME”, and you also get “ME” when you abbreviate the word “MetaversE” to its first and last letter. Thus, brands and creators can use .ME to emphasize the fact that their project is related to the metaverse.

So here, we’ll take a look at five different metaverse projects that use .ME as their online home. 

Let’s check them out and see why we should take note of them!

Mars4.ME – A 3D Metaverse Set On Mars

The year is 2040 CE, and planet Earth is collapsing. The world’s ecosystems are failing as wars add to the utter devastation. To ease the strain on their dying home planet, humanity is seeking answers among the stars.

And they find it – the answer is Mars. The Red Planet presents humankind with a unique opportunity. An armada of spaceships funded by regional arcologies and corporations are set off to establish a new and safer home. The Red Planet is far from a paradise, though. The space colonists must reshape this world and terraform it into a better Earth.

This is the backstory of Mars4. Mars4.ME is an interactive 3D Metaverse divided into land plots, each represented by a unique NFT. Mars4 is split into three parts: Mars Land NFTs, $MARS4 dollars, and a Play-2-Earn game. All of these come together to create an interactive virtual Mars with its own economy. 

The superb metaverse is a virtual habitat on Mars that allows users to explore the red planet, own a Martian land, and customize and sell it while potentially making passive income.

ReadyPlayer.ME: A Metaverse 3D Avatar Creator

Ready Player Me is a cross-game avatar creation platform for the metaverse. It’s intended for the builders, creators and residents of the metaverse. The team behind ReadyPlayer.ME is on a mission to break down the virtual walls and build a more open and connected metaverse. 

Ready Player Me also boasts of being able to create perfect virtual avatars – based on your selfie! To build this capability, the team has scanned more than 20,000 people and collected a huge database of high-quality face scans. This database of face scans allowed them to build a deep-learning solution that generates perfect virtual avatars from a single selfie.

Currently used in more than 6000 games and apps, Ready Player Me allows for easy integration of Ready Player Me avatars, and the Avatar Creator itself, into your game and app.

TheMetaverseBook.ME – A Book To Navigate The Metaverse

As with any other novel form of technology, trying to grapple with the idea of metaverse can be confusing sometimes.

Navigating the Metaverse: A Guide to Limitless Possibilities in a Web 3.0 World is a book written just for that reason. By breaking down the concept of the metaverse into digestible parts, this book helps creators and businesses navigate the metaverse and figure out how to use it to their benefit. The topics covered in the book include NFTs, user trends, business models, and so forth.

Navigating the Metaverse gathers Silicon Valley leaders who bring their expert insights, data-based recommendations, and user-friendly frameworks that help get past the confusion. The focus is on innovation that creates new customer connections and online revenue streams.

BNV.ME – Where Fashion Meets The Metaverse

Brand New Vision (BNV) was originally a company that focused on doing research and developing new technologies for the traditional fashion industry. Only later did they switch their attention to purely virtual products. 

With the advent of NFTs, it became possible to build an infrastructure where the fashion consumer could own, collect and trade limited-edition items of clothing, footwear and accessories. BNV thus had a new mission – to create experiences and opportunities for the new generation of metaverse users. 

And their goal? To be the leading digital fashion company of Web3.0.

BNV is the platform that provides 3D product creation, tokenization, community building, and interoperable wearability for fashion brands to enter the virtual world. The team behind BNV works towards a future where the items in your digital wardrobe will truly belong to you, rather than just being rented. 

Genopets.ME – Your Personal Pet In Web3 

Your Genopet is a digital representation of you, and infused with your personality too. 

And you basically take care of your Genopet by taking care of yourself. Genopets is the gamification of an active lifestyle that rewards you for how much you walk. Be it walking around the mall or jogging at the gym, your Genopet is always by your side. Every step you take will be used to fuel your gameplay and evolve your digital companion.

Genopets is a move-to-earn game predicated on you building a bond with your digital companion. And a bond between oneself and their pet can be a powerful force indeed. That force is the premise of Genopets, further motivating you to live a more active lifestyle.

Currently in public beta, Genopets is set for an official release in 2023. So stay tuned!

In Conclusion

Creators and brands can emphasize that their project resides within the metaverse. Here, we took a look at five .ME projects in the metaverse and saw what they’re all about.

And not just that. They can also use .ME to say, ‘This is personal! This is for you!’. In the metaverse, many things are specifically tailored to the individual customer and are thus personal and unique (think NFTs). The .ME domain extension is perfect for highlighting these features.

All in all, we can only wait and see how novel forms of technology like the metaverse will adopt .ME to enhance their online presence.

Until next time!
