About the job
economy focused around the Metaverse. https://www.virtualsociety.foundation/
The “metaverse” is best defined as a network of meaningful worlds, objects, identities
and experiences that build on each other and the real world in ways that create
economic value or provide fulfilling experiences. This network will unleash innovative
businesses offering sophisticated digital assets, creating new jobs and expanding
human opportunity.
However, all this potential remains largely unrealized due to technical, experiential, and
accessibility challenges. In addition, the absence of a functioning technological and
economic system that allows builders and creators to support one another's work means
we are stuck with either very open and decentralized but non-functional metaverse
frameworks that major companies can’t use or popular but fundamentally closed UGC
gaming platforms with limited freedom to build major businesses on top of them. A fully
realized practical metaverse ecosystem is a network of many actors, all with their own
needs and interests, all of whom have to be able to credibly build real businesses.
