Facebook’s embrace of the metaverse has unleashed a world of new
blockchain projects that merge the concepts of virtual reality,
digital worlds and cryptocurrencies. The metaverse refers to
computer-generated worlds where people can don avatars, explore,
interact with other users, play games, create a business, buy and
sell land and other assets. Metaverses took the digital realm by
storm in 2021, serving as a facilitator of social interaction,
business, recreation, gaming and education, to name just a few.
They have exploded in popularity and their current momentum
suggests they’re going to become a much bigger part of our culture
as the new year progresses. So without further ado, here’s a quick
rundown of three of the most promising metaverse projects to keep
an eye out for in 2022. Bit.Country The metaverse is all about
creating value and human connections, and Bit.Country is doing its
part by making it more accessible to everyone, regardless of their
location, background and beliefs. Bit.Country is a platform
that enables anyone to build their own metaverse, where they can
establish their own rules and formats and bring their own
cryptocurrency to incentivize and reward followers and
contributors. It provides all of the tools needed to get started
with a map of their 3D world, support for games, commerce,
economics, digital land ownership and governance. Built upon the
Metaverse.Network, which is based on Substrate in the Polkadot
ecosystem, the metaverses of Bit.Country are hosted within its
Continuum. The Continuum can be thought of as a map of all of the
“Bit Countries”, with a limited number of coordinates and its
future shape driven entirely by community members. Each new Bit
Country metaverse that’s created will be placed as a new block
somewhere within the Continuum. Metaverse creators can customize
the style, shape and texture of their block worlds, and the space
within that block can be subdivided into 100 sections that can be
independently owned and traded among users. The owners, or
landlords, of each section, can then place assets within them,
provide services, display NFTs or run events. They can import their
favorite cryptocurrency or even create their own, which can be used
by community members to buy assets, pay for services or participate
in community events and governance. It’s a refreshing alternative
to existing metaverses such as SandBox and Decentraland, where many
of the rules have already been established. Bit.Country’s ultimate
goal is to create a world of perpetual communities, where metaverse
worlds can grow exponentially while giving their communities
multiple opportunities to participate and earn. It’s a project with
a long-term vision that promises to create a new level of social
interaction, with unique benefits to its users. PlayMining
PlayMining is a metaverse-based play-to-earn gaming platform built
by Digital Entertainment Asset that aims to transform online games
by rewarding users for playing, instead of charging them money to
be able to compete. While traditional mobile games are often
advertised as “free to play” the reality is somewhat different. In
order to gain an advantage and progress players are compelled to
buy in-game items that have no intrinsic value and soon become
outdated, forcing users to buy yet more items. Over time, users may
invest hundreds or even thousands of dollars in a game, with no way
of recouping that value. PlayMining wants to turn that dynamic on
its head, creating a gaming economy that leverages blockchain,
cryptocurrency and NFTs to reward players instead of encouraging
them to spend. With PlayMining games, players earn assets in the
shape of NFTS from their gaming activities. Blockchain-based NFTs
enable real ownership of assets, meaning they can be bought and
sold for crypto that can be traded for real-world money, ensuring
gamers and creators are compensated for their efforts. PlayMining
launched its platform in May 2020 and now hosts three hugely
popular play-to-earn NFT games, including its flagship trading card
battle game JobTribes, which currently ranks ninth on DappRadar’s
game ranking and boasts more than 40,000 monthly active users.
Other titles on PlayMining include the puzzle game PlayMining
Puzzle×JobTribes and the coin-pusher game Lucky Farmer. Altogether,
PlayMining claims more than two million players from over 100
countries have participated in its play-to-earn token economy and
that number is set to grow in 2022 with the launch of yet more
titles. The multi-task cooking game Cookin’ Burger is set to launch
this spring, and will be followed by the debut of the coloring and
racing game Graffiti Racer in summer. DEA’s PlayMining is an
innovative project that has already shown that profitable gaming is
no pipe dream. As we enter 2022, it has every chance of upending
the video game industry as we know it. Syn City A massive
play-to-earn game that’s well worth watching is the mafia syndicate
game Syn City, which is focused on providing greater access to new
users. 🚨 MAJOR EVENT UPDATE 🚨 SYN CITY auction coming soon on

(@SynCityHQ) January 6, 2022 Syn City leverages the concept
of tokenized game assets in the form of NFTs, which can be owned
both inside the game and also in the wider metaverse. It’s similar
to many traditional mafia war games, with players tasked with
building up their characters and crews, gathering and managing
resources, strategizing, planning raids and attacks on other
gamers. Also intriguing is Syn City’s unique Mafia-as-a-DAO
governance system, which lets gamers manage their own syndicates.
It’s a new take on the idea of a decentralized autonomous
organization, in which the community votes on proposals within
their syndicates and on the game’s overall direction. It’s a system
that ensures Syn City’s metaverse is transparent and provably fair.
Syn City’s unique model has won it a lot of fans, with an
impressive funding round of more than $8 million in 2021, followed
by $3.5 million raised within just 30 minutes of the launch of its
IGO on the Binance NFT platform in December, where it now ranks
number one for collections.. With more than 200,000 enthusiastic
mafiosos signed up so far, the Syn City metaverse looks set to take
the blockchain gaming ecosystem by storm in 2022.
