Why DigiNation’s Immersive and ID-Based Metaverse Will Change How We Interact With NFTs

Metaverse is a term we’re hearing more and more these days, not
least since Facebook announced it was changing its name to Meta and
transitioning into “a metaverse company.” A concept that refers to
immersive virtual environments where users can socialize, play,
shop, and even earn, the metaverse could represent the future of
many industries, from gaming and e-commerce to social media. The
term metaverse is a portmanteau of meta (meaning beyond) and the
universe, and intrepid technologists are busy fleshing out just
what this burgeoning collective space will look like; and how we
will navigate it. Although it’s early days, signs are that wearable
AR/VR devices (headsets, goggles) and blockchain-based digital
assets will play major roles, with several projects already at an
advanced building stage. One notable example is DigiNation, a
metaverse with personal identity at its heart. Delving Into
DigiNation Built on the Ethereum blockchain, DigiNation is an
all-encompassing ecosystem that comprises an extensive virtual
environment, playable characters (represented by DigiAvatar NFTs),
a 3D design studio called DigiMaker, a web gallery named NFT Live,
and an OpenSea-esque integrated marketplace known as DigiMarket.
Described as a “Web3 metaverse featuring NFT-based innovation,” the
fast-growing venture is currently gearing up for its public mint on
November 15, whereupon up to 950 unique DigiAvatar NFTs will be
made available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Another 74,
meanwhile, will be allocated to those who have contributed to the
community in its formative stages. As in the famous RPGs, ‘players’
are represented by avatars – the aforementioned DigiAvatars, to be
more specific. In the DigiNation metaverse, these NFTs are in
essence the indigenous citizens. And these unique personas – which
can be minted for 0.08 ETH plus gas – can be customized according
to the player’s activities in the game. This latter feature is
about more than equipping your hologram with a cool weapon or
fetching hat, though: in DigiNation, avatar NFTs have multiple
dynamic parameters including Experience, Level, Contribution, Fame
and Fertility, with each improving as the player becomes more
successful in the metaverse. Later, a user might elect to sell his
advanced DigiAvatar on the DigiMarket – or trade it for a different
NFT that is appealing in its own right. DigiNation calls this
identity-focused concept ‘MetaCreation’. The idea being that
DigiAvatars represent players’ unique data, with everything from
their behavior and credit information recorded and tokenized
on-chain via an NFT, and updated via smart contracts. With
interoperability being a stated goal of the DigiNation team, the
hope is that NFTs can access both the DigiNation metaverse and
others available on disparate blockchains. Similarly, third-party
NFTs can be imported via NFT Live. For example, it will be possible
to import a 2D picture NFT such as a CryptoPunk – which DigiNation
will convert into an animated 3D avatar for use in the game. Like
popular NFT marketplace OpenSea, the integrated DigiMarket provides
a means by which players can showcase and trade all of their
assets, including those created with DigiMaker and those imported
from elsewhere via NFT Live. Gaming in the DigiNation It’s fair to
say that DigiNation is swimming in NFTs; aside from characters,
non-fungible tokens in the game include collectible items,
properties, art, even songs that play when you traverse a certain
pocket of land. Games and events are a big part of the landscape,
too, with DigiAvatars able to compete in various quests, missions
and battles in return for rewards. Single and multiplayer games can
be created by players using DigiMaker’s drag-and-drop toolkit or
integrated into the metaverse by professional gaming studios.
Speaking of games, the platform will next month launch a
multiplayer online tournament called Crypto Survivor, a sort of
amalgam of the TV series Survivor and Squid Game. While only
whitelisted NFT holders will be eligible to participate, the
showcase could serve as an interesting demonstration of
DigiNation’s potential. The team behind this particular metaverse
project is at pains to point out that they don’t want to go it
alone. Instead, they envisage a collaborative, community-powered
virtual world where NFTs can travel between metaverses. This is why
the NFT Live program was created: to empower other NFT projects to
join the DigiNation world, and in doing so give those tokens
greater utility. Opening such doors could of course be a boon for
DigiNation: in allowing NFT holders to interact with their
metaverse, they set the stage for them transacting in the
DigiMarket, minting new NFTs in DigiMaker, playing games, or just
exploring what the world has to offer. For now, that’s all
hypothetical: the only important date on the calendar is November
15, when the public mint sees hundreds of DigiAvatars make their
way into the world. After that, it’s down to DigiNation to make
their metaverse a rich tapestry that players can’t resist.
