The metaverse is what you get when you mash together theme parks and the internet. Stay with me here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to a theme park, the metaverse will have virtual attractions where users can socialize, shop, game, work and all-around enjoy themselves. But in keeping with the internet\u2019s openness, the metaverse will consist of many interconnected worlds where no single entity has full control over the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what kind of tools and platforms are going to power these decentralized experiences? And where do cryptocurrencies fit into the metaverse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon Radoff, the author of the Building the Metaverse blog, has created a seven-layer model that showcases all the sub-sectors and industries where cryptocurrency and other tech will produce value in the metaverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about metaverse cryptocurrencies, from what these coins and tokens are used for to which metaverse projects are worth investing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a metaverse cryptocurrency?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The metaverse will be made possible by tools like virtual and augmented reality (VR\/AR), high-speed internet, and especially cryptocurrencies and NFTs. NFTs (non-fungible tokens) represent the virtual items you can own in the metaverse, like your avatar, clothing, real estate, and artwork, and you can make and buy them on NFT marketplaces like OpenSea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, fulfill the role of money within each metaverse\u2019s virtual economy and can be bought, sold, and traded on crypto exchanges like Kraken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, NFTs are the primary investment vehicles of the metaverse. But with all the surrounding hype, metaverse cryptos have seen sky-high price appreciation too. As of February 2022, metaverse cryptocurrencies have a combined market cap of $24.8 billion\u2014up 396% since May of last year\u2014according to CoinMarketCap. This growth was, in large part, due to Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s announcement in October that Facebook (now Meta) was pivoting to the metaverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the following month, the metaverse sector nearly tripled in size from $13 billion to $37 billion and saw hundreds of new cryptos joining left and right. Microsoft and Nvidia jumping on the bandwagon certainly helped, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this begs the question, which metaverse cryptos should you buy to capitalize on this megatrend?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top metaverse cryptocurrencies to buy in 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cryptocurrencies have taken a recent nosedive due to ongoing macroeconomic issues. The good news is that right now you can get in on these metaverse projects at low prices compared to their all-time highs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s peel back Jon Radoff\u2019s 7 layers of the metaverse and identify leading projects in each subsector. But just so you know, some projects fit into multiple categories. And since it\u2019s still early days for the metaverse, some categories have little to no mature projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layer 1<\/strong> \u2013 Experience<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This layer is all about activities that get us immersed in the metaverse. But Radoff believes this immersion goes beyond 2D and 3D virtual environments into stories, art and community in general. Here are some of the top projects across different categories of experiences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Virtual worlds:<\/strong> Decentraland (MANA), The Sandbox (SAND)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Video games:<\/strong> Axie Infinity (AXS), Illuvium (ILV), Gala (GALA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Social media:<\/strong> Decentralized Social (DESO), Mask Network (MASK)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Video and music streaming:<\/strong> Versasity (VRA), Audius (AUDIO)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Events and sports:<\/strong> Get Protocol (GET), Chiliz (CHZ)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Layer 2<\/strong> \u2013 Discovery<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The discovery layer is how people get introduced to the experiences mentioned above. Discovery is broadly divided into inbound, where people actively seek out experiences, and outbound, where experiences are promoted to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tools of the trade include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Web browsers and search engines:<\/strong> Basic Attention Token (BAT), Presearch (PRE)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • App stores and marketplaces:<\/strong> Ultra (UOS), SuperRare (RARE), DappRadar (RADAR)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Advertising protocols:<\/strong> AdShares (ADS), Wabi (WABI)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Layer 3<\/strong> \u2013 Creator Economy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      The metaverse isn\u2019t going to be a passive environment where we only enjoy content created by record labels or movie and game studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Just like user-generated content has come to dominate social media, all metaverse participants craft virtual experiences using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • NFT and Avatar makers:<\/strong> Enjin (ENJ), Rarible (RARI), Metahero (HERO)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Social tokens:<\/strong> Rally (RLY), Mint Club (MINT)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Developer SDKs and APIs:<\/strong> Cosmos (ATOM), The Graph (GRT)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Layer 4 <\/strong>\u2013 Spatial Computing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        Radoff defines spatial computing as software that enables us to manipulate 3D virtual spaces and augment the real world, including<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • 3D engines and rendering:<\/strong> Somnium Space Cubes (CUBE), Render Token (RNDR)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Geospatial mapping:<\/strong> Hyperion (HYN)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Internet of Things (IoT):<\/strong> VeChain (VET), Helium (HNT), IOTA (MIOTA)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Layer 5 <\/strong>\u2013 Decentralization<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          The internet is arguably the most successful implementation of decentralization in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          This decentralization was especially powerful back in the day because it gave every internet user to do and build what they wanted with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Unfortunately, most internet applications today are controlled by a handful of organizations who tell us what we can and can\u2019t do online. This, my young Padawan, is why we have to ensure history doesn\u2019t repeat itself in the metaverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The leading projects giving us back control over our money, data and creations in the metaverse include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Store of value:<\/strong> Bitcoin (BTC), Terra (LUNA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Smart contracts:<\/strong> Ethereum (ETH), Polygon (MATIC), Solana (SOL)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Oracles:<\/strong> Chainlink (LINK), API3 (API3)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Identity:<\/strong> Ontology (ONT), Civic (CVC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Stablecoins:<\/strong> TerraUSD (UST), Dai (DAI)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Layer 6<\/strong> \u2013 Human Interface<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

            To enter the metaverse, you\u2019re going to need immersive technologies like VR headsets, AR glasses, hand controls, surround sound and omnidirectional treadmills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            As you can see, these are all hardware devices. And most crypto projects only address software needs. This is the one layer I\u2019m sure traditional companies like Meta, HTC and Sony will end up dominating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            One interesting project that\u2019s tackling both the hardware and software side of things is Metahero (HERO). In short, Metahero bridges the physical and virtual world by enabling users to 3D scan people and objects and turn them into NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            This is made possible through their 3D metascanner, which is a chamber with high-resolution cameras on every side that capture images in perfect synchronization. Metahero has already installed a 4K chamber in Doha, Qatar and plans to set up more in major cities around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Layer 7<\/strong> \u2013 Infrastructure<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

            Finally, the infrastructure layer includes technologies that connect our devices to the internet and deliver content. This is another hardware problem, for the most part, requiring 5G and other wireless networks, faster microchips and larger data centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            But in this case, there are many blockchain projects addressing the need for more connectivity and computing resources, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Peer-to-peer internet:<\/strong> Elastos (ELA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Storage:<\/strong> Filecoin (FIL), Arweave (AR)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Computing power:<\/strong> Golem (GOL)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Should you buy metaverse cryptocurrencies?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              It all depends on your risk tolerance and how in-tune you are with this sector. The metaverse is still in its infancy, meaning that it\u2019s going to take anywhere from three to ten years for it to realize its promise<\/strong>. During this time, new projects can come along and steal market share from today\u2019s top players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              We\u2019ve even got trillion-dollar tech giants like Microsoft trying to muscle their way into this space. All that to say, don\u2019t place all your faith into any one project this early on. Better to diversify among a few coins and tokens that have an edge over other cryptos and traditional companies. This could include better content and events, more users and partnerships, higher performance or decentralization, lower costs, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              At the end of the day though, the best metaverse crypto for you is the one that gives you access to your favorite virtual world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
