​ Lamina1 Is Building for the Open Metaverse

The metaverse industry may be large but it’s certainly not open. As figures such as Animoca Brands founder and CEO Yat Siu or pseudonymous non-fungible token (NFT) collector Punk6529 tout, Web3 should aim to build the “Open Metaverse,” an interoperable space across all, or at least most, platforms. A Web3 ethos points towards breaking down “walled gardens,” or data silos, allowing users to take full ownership of their digital experiences that they can carry from metaverse to metaverse. Lamina1 is a layer one blockchain ecosystem that’s set on providing the infrastructure for Web3 developers to build the “Open Metaverse.” With its user-friendly tooling, onboarding strategies and environmentally friendly approach, Lamina1 aims to help the metaverse hold true to a Web3 ethos. The project was founded in June 2022 by Neal Stephenson, author of the famed science fiction novel “Snow Crash,” for which he coined the word “metaverse,” and Peter Vessenes, an early cryptocurrency adopter and experienced Web3 venture capitalist. The two metaverse architects wrote a white paper that sets out to solve the interoperability issue of the decentralized virtual world.
