The metaverse is not a single app. It’s a network of millions of virtual world s people visit to play games, socialize and collaborate. Today, most of those worlds are closed and disconnected walled gardens. Ready Player Me believes in the future of an open and connected metaverse that is built by many developers and creators and is not controlled by one company. For the open metaverse to emerge, cross-world services and standards that enable virtual world s to be connected and interoperable must be built. Avatars and identities play a huge role in that.
