Welcome to the LeapNverse. On October 28th 2021 Mark Zuckerberg… | by LeapN

On October 28th 2021 Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook’s plans to become a “Metaverse”, officially changing their name and brand to Meta. What he forgot to tell you is that this concept was not original and other projects had already built incredible Metaverse technologies of their own — pushing the boundaries of how we understand and interact with virtual worlds, cryptocurrencies, and online gaming communities. Enter the LeapNverse!

LeapN does “metaverse” differently, instead of pixelated 8-bit graphics, like we are accustomed to from projects like Sandbox, or Cryptovoxels, (as made famous by iconic games like Minecraft and Roblox), LeapN harnesses the power of Unreal Engine to bring crisp clean graphics, that give PS5 and Xbox One a run for their money. Who else has this?

One of the most interesting aspects of Web3 and metaverse projects is that they are intrinsically tied to the user’s ownership of digital goods and services; referred to as NFT’s (if you aren’t familiar with Non Fungible Tokens and owning digital assets, read this first). LeapN brings some very interesting opportunities for monetization of complex ecosystems developed by the community and its growing network of users through these groundbreaking concepts enabled by digital ownership.

There are 603 NFT virtual worlds in LeapN which you can buy, trade and sell in various NFT marketplaces called Founders Deeds. A Founders Deed world contains 500 acres of virtual real estate waiting to be turned into the metaverse you’ve always dreamed of. Founders Deeds are perfect for creators looking to build out a whole experience for their project, game, or personal artistic vision. The owner can build and develop their world to the extent their imagination can be driven, through the LeapN world builder module, an easy and intuitive pallet for creating 3D worlds [link to video]. If you want your Web3 avatar to fly around the world with a Jetpack, even that can be owned as an NFT in LeapN. The Founders Deeds can also be fractionalized into smaller 5 acre parcels known as Alpha Plots.

The real magic here is the backend. LeapN is unrolling a decentralized, scalable platform for these 603 different metaverses, with the capabilities of hosting thousands of players at the same time in any given world, as well as Governance/in-game token that can be used for selling and purchasing goods and services. This architecture allows NFT’s to be utilized as the literal key to teleport in and out of different worlds and access exclusive features seamlessly.
