Metaverse land is the latest generational invention of the internet era. This technology is basically a virtual land that is controlled and inhabited by real-world people. To be more precise, a metaverse is like a network of a three-dimensional world that is connected to the internet. People can enter this world with the help of augmented virtual reality. This is going to be an astonishing replacement for the experience of computers and take the digital world to the next level.

If we consider the past, the real estate business has been one of the biggest businesses in the world. It was a blueprint for success. But, it had its own fair share of disadvantages as well. The involvement of middlemen and complications regarding the trade of real estate lands. Now, it is taken away from the equation and metaverse lands are taking over this business at a rapid rate.

1. Axie Infinity ($AXS)

Outstanding Features

The goal with Axie Infinity Shards is to align the incentives between the players of the game and the developers in novel and exciting ways. The mechanisms described above have two main goals: 

• To reward players for interacting with Axie Infinity while simultaneously incentivizing them to hold on to their tokens so they can claim additional rewards.
• To decentralize the ownership and governance of Axie Infinity.

Want Axie to become the first game truly owned and operated by the community that plays it.  This opens up limitless possibilities but must be approached carefully. In the past, projects have been abandoned and become stagnant using the term “decentralization” as a ruse. The shift to a true Decentralized organization will occur gradually over time.

Token Use Case

Roadmap

Axie Infinity is a bleeding-edge game that’s incorporating unfinished, risky, and highly experimental technology.

• Q1 2020: Land and Items migrated to Ronin 
• Q2 2021: Axies migrated to Ronin 
• Q2 2021: Axie: Origin Alpha 
• Q3 2021: $AXS staking 
• 2022: Land Gameplay Community Alpha
• 2022: $AXS ecosystem begins: Governance; Play to Earn; Mainstream release of Axie Infinity on iOS/Android
• 2022: Land gameplay
• 2022: Lunacia SDK Alpha

The endgame is to create a single application that players can use to interact with the entire Axie Infinity universe: 

• Social network 
• Marketplace
• Progression of Axies (Leveling, achievements)
• Breeding Game
• PvP with ladder and tournaments
• PvE / Adventure mode
• Land Gameplay
• Players expand their kingdom, harvest resources, and attack Chimeras and other players.
• Lunacia SDK – Allowing developers and creators to make games using existing Axie Infinity assets and hosting them on land.

Verdict

All art assets and Axie Infinity genetic data can be easily accessed by 3rd parties, allowing community developers to build their own tools and experiences in the Axie Infinity universe. While still in early access, Axie Infinity has ranked the #1 Ethereum game by daily, weekly, and monthly active users. Players have spent over 1M ETH (3B+ USD) so far to progress in the game.

2. Decentraland ($MANA)

Outstanding Features

The land is a non-fungible, transferrable, scarce digital asset stored in an Ethereum smart contract. It can be acquired by spending an ERC20 token called MANA. MANA can also be used to make in-world purchases of digital goods and services. 

People are spending increasingly more time in virtual worlds, for both leisure and work1. This occurs predominantly in 2D interfaces such as the web and mobile phones. But a traversable 3D world adds an immersive component as well as adjacency to other content, enabling physical clusters of communities. 

Unlike other virtual worlds and social networks, Decentraland is not controlled by a centralized organization. There is no single agent with the power to modify the rules of the software, contents of land, the economics of the currency, or prevent others from accessing the world. 

Token Use Case

• Applications 

The Decentraland scripting language will allow the development of applications, games, gambling, and dynamic 3D scenes. This scripting language will be designed to handle a wide range of capabilities, including creating objects, loading textures, handling physics, encoding user interactions, sounds, payments, and external calls, among others. 

• Content Curation 

Users in Decentraland will gather around neighborhoods of shared interest. Being located near high-traffic hubs will drive users to the landowners’ content. 

• Advertising 

Brands may advertise using billboards near, or in, high-traffic land parcels to promote their products, services, and events. Some neighborhoods may become virtual versions of Times Square in New York City. Additionally, brands may position products and create shared experiences to engage with their audience. 

• Digital Collectibles 

Expect users to publish, distribute, and collect rare digital assets issued on the blockchain by their creators. Just as it occurs today in other virtual worlds or through online forums, these digital assets will be traded inside this world through the scripting system and be backed by the aforementioned naming system.

• Social 

Groups that currently gather in online forums, chat groups, or even other centralized multiplayer games could port their communities into Decentraland. Offline communities could also find in Decentraland a space to gather. 

• Other use cases 

There are no technical specifications as to what could be built in Decentraland. Therefore, other use cases could emerge, such as training and professional development, education, therapy, 3D design, and virtual tourism, among others.

Roadmap

Updating …

Verdict

Decentraland users have full control over all land assets they own and have the right to keep all proceeds from the value they generate from other users. This is important because it allows users to benefit from the money they make from the sale of their land or from whatever business they choose to build.

Decentraland uses Blockchain technology: Blockchain technology is the future of the digital world. It uses blockchain technology to ensure that you have a great experience.

3. Sandbox ($SAND)

Outstanding Features

The Sandbox platform is a pixelated metaverse environment that is being elevated steadily in the digital space. Similar to the decentraland platform, the sandbox platform is comprised of real estate platforms called lands and they are represented by non-fungible tokens. Each and every land in the platform is unique and they are based on the ERC-721 token standard. These virtual assets are bought and sold directly on the Sandbox marketplace or on various secondary marketplaces in the digital market.

Verdict

The Sandbox decentralized platform allows players and creators to own a piece of our gaming metaverse (LAND), and participate in the governance and economy (SAND) while creating and enjoying a simple way to benefit from their playing time. An experienced and dedicated team will build a unique way to play in a virtual world where you can play, create, collect, earn, govern, and own anything in the game in the coming year.

4. AAVEGOTCHI ($GHST)

Outstanding Features

Aavegotchi is a blockchain game that is developed on the Ethereum blockchain. The users can buy the lands on this platform and these lands are represented as NFTs. In this metaverse, NFT avatars are used to traverse around the world to explore and interact with others exceptionally. This metaverse platform is relatively new, and it is gradually gaining popularity. Thus, this platform is expected to reach great heights in the forthcoming years.

Token Use Case

Traits are randomly chosen for Aavegotchis upon summoning and are graded according to relative rarity. Examples of traits include energy, experience and brain size, all of which impact the rarity of Aavegotchis and how they perform in games.

Wearables give each Aavegotchi a unique appearance, boost their traits and rarity scores, and can be bought, sold or traded separately in the Aavegotchi’s marketplace.

5. BIT COUNTRY ($NUUM)

Outstanding Features

Bit Country is the latest entrant into the metaverse domain. This platform is based on the idea of framework and substrate-based blockchain for users. The network of the Bit country platform is built on the substrate with a wide range of primitives that enables the developers to utilize programming lines to create a top-tier customized metaverse environment. At present, this metaverse land for sale is gaining great traction and it is becoming one of the best metaverse lands to invest in.
