Metaverse projects will change the current form of the Internet

Frankly speaking, the development of the Internet industry has reached a certain height, the overall growth rate has slowed down, and capital is also looking for new growth points. In addition, the growth rate of the digital economy is particularly impressive. It is against this background that the Metaverse projects is showing a trend of fire.

Of course, because technology usually plays the role of "infrastructure", if the concept of the meta universe wants to "take off", the driving force is still inseparable from the social concept based on "people." At this stage, as the Internet infrastructure gradually achieves full coverage, people's digital needs are gradually increasing. The group represented by Generation Z has always maintained a focus on new things and actively embraced the digital future.

The meta-universe economy is a special form of the digital economy, which reflects the particularity of the meta-universe economy. The meta-universe economy is also an integral part of the digital economy, which inevitably reflects the general characteristics of the digital economy. The particularity is mainly reflected in the collapse of the hypothesis of "economic man", identity determines value rather than labor determines value, marginal cost reduction, marginal benefit increase, and transaction costs approaching zero. The generality is reflected in the basic principles of the economy. The larger the market size, the more prosperous the economy.

The economic elements of the meta universe include digital creation, digital assets, digital markets, digital currencies, and digital consumption. Its characteristics are clearly different from the traditional economy, which is manifested in the unity of planning and market, the unity of production and consumption, the unity of supervision and freedom, and the unity of behavior and credit.

Blockchain and Metaverse projects are interdependent and inseparable. Blockchain provides the basic organizational model, governance model, and economic model of the meta-universe technology architecture. More importantly, the decentralized value of the block chain, and the meta-universe "co-creation, sharing and co-governance" The values ​​are completely consistent and mutual achievement.

In the physical world, the role of the government as a superstructure is irreplaceable. In a sense, the meta universe is the projection of the physical world on the digital world. But few people are willing to leave a place for the government in the meta universe. Although the creators of the meta universe are not anarchists. Some thinkers in the West compare the government to a gatekeeper, guarding social order and rule.

Through the analysis of the driving forces of the meta-universe, we can see two forces that promote the process of the meta-universe: the "blockchain faction" and the "internet faction".

• Blockchain faction believes in the power of decentralization. They have used the advantages of blockchain technology to establish a huge user economy through the NFT market, chain games, etc., while on the Internet infrastructure, they are actively promoting the Internet to become more The development of an open and equal Web3.0 era.

• The Internet faction mainly refers to traditional Internet companies. They rely on capital accumulation and technological advantages to promote the progress of Metaverse towards true office and immersive games. They hope to establish a new user economy based on existing users. In terms of hardware, technologies such as VR are developed to compete for the entrance to the meta-universe.

It should be said that both are important roles in the construction of the meta-universe. The giants control databases and data transmission portals, mine identity information from users, and place advertisements to obtain revenue, but users do not get any of these benefits.

With blockchain technology, the underlying network infrastructure can be fair to each node, and everyone can participate in the Metaverse projects with a safe identity, and obtain the only token of digital assets in the metaverse, and share the development of the metaverse. Income. That kind of meta-universe can truly become a parallel "universe" that users are willing to participate in and build.
