Exploring The Value of The Metaverse
Today’s Guest: Rohan Handa
Head of Business Development - Horizen Labs Ventures
THE METAVERSE.
Many throw the term around with little understanding of its nature - few are the folks who’ve chosen to help build it.
To be clear - the "Metaverse" is not a singular place, location, or game environment, but more of an interoperability standard that allows data, identity & content to flow seamlessly between networks.

Nevertheless, certain players are better positioned than others to create worlds immersive & engaged enough to attract users at scale. Besides the well-known efforts from Yuga Labs, the team behind Bored Ape Yacht Club & The Otherside, the most developed connected ecosystem comes from Futureverse & Non-Fungible Labs, the teams behind Fluf World & Altered State Machine. Other candidates that come to mind include Aku World, the team behind Akutars, & AMGI, the team behind My Pet Hooligan. For that very reason I've invested into these ecosystems through various NFT acquisitions. (NFA - DYOR)
