Cointime Official

MetaVersusWorld, a web3 hyper-realistic and interactive, persistent virtual multiverse, announces the successful completion of US $2 million seed funding round which started earlier this year. The round saw participation from venture capital firms Alphabit Digital Currency Fund, Xeta Capital, Launchpool, Westridge Markets, NetZero Capital, XSquared Ventures, GBIC, Alpha Sigma Capital, and FBG Capital.

A portion of the funds have already been deployed in the Unreal Engine 5 development of the closed alpha product launch on Steam, set to take place in Q4 2022. Initially, the closed alpha gameplay will be available to alpha-testers, partners, and backers, with plans to open it to the public in the near future. The project has recently successfully integrated with Ready Player Me, the avatar platform for the metaverse that allows users to explore virtual worlds with one consistent identity.

The web3 technology and metaverse gaming company is looking to raise an additional US $3 million to further expand its platform and product suite, with a web3 IP marketplace for brands, additional virtual world offerings, and a more aggressive business development and marketing strategy.

MetaVersusWorld prides itself on offering a complete platform built for brands and their digital consumers, which benefits from hyper-realistic, virtual commerce, and social interactive experiences, powered by a circular economy. Brands can experiment entering the web3 scene via the company's Metaverse-as-a-Service offerings fit to serve every need, while digital consumers can play and explore loyalty programs and entertainment guarded by privacy by default in three open metaverse worlds (FashionVerse, WildWestCity, SkateVerse).

The team behind this counts over 20 full-time employees and collaborators, with backgrounds from PlayStation, Huawei, SaxoBank, NBA, Twitter, Upwork, ABC News, Garmin, and more.

Founded in 2021 on UnrealEngine 5, MetaVersusWorld is a Web3 technology and gaming company that builds hyper-realistic virtual worlds and experiences in the metaverse for brands and their consumers. A complete platform offering virtual commerce, gaming and an IP marketplace, the platform will be available as a downloadable client in Q4 2022 for early supporters, with plans to open it to the public in the near future.

  • Yushu Technology's Wang Xingxing: Key to Breakthrough in Embodied Intelligence Lies in Solving Millimeter-Level Error Issues

    On September 25, the 5th Global Digital Trade Expo was held in Hangzhou, where Wang Xingxing, founder of Yushu Technology, delivered a keynote speech titled "From Machinery to Intelligence - The Evolutionary Theory of Embodied Future." Wang stated that the embodied intelligence industry may soon experience a critical breakthrough similar to that of ChatGPT. He believes that when robots can complete approximately 80% of tasks through voice interaction and embodied intelligence capabilities in about 80% of unfamiliar environments, the industry will enter a critical phase of large-scale application. He pointed out that the ability for robots to understand and execute specific tasks based on voice commands has already made breakthroughs last year, but the industry still faces a core technological bottleneck, namely the precise matching issue between artificial intelligence models and the real physical world. Wang noted that currently, robots still have a few millimeters of error during actual operations, which limits their stability and reliability in complex environments. "In the future, whoever can solve this problem will fundamentally resolve the issues with robots."

  • Swissquote Analyst Warns AI Narrative is a Core Pillar of US Stocks, Potential Break Could Trigger Significant Correction

    On September 25, Ipek Ozkardeskaya, a senior analyst at Swissquote Bank, stated that broad market indices and retirement funds are now deeply tied to the AI wave, with technology stocks accounting for about 40% of the S&P 500 index. She pointed out that the market capitalization weight of just three chip manufacturers makes up over 25% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Ozkardeskaya indicated that AI has become the 'core pillar' of the market, and this pillar 'must not show any cracks.' She believes that, in the short term, the US stock market will continue to be supported by seasonal factors, and the current market uptrend may extend until the end of the year. However, she also warned that the worst-case scenario would be a shake in the investment logic surrounding AI, which could undermine market confidence in the AI narrative, potentially triggering a significant market correction.
