Founder @futureverse, ecosystem includes @therootnetwork @bornreadyvc @jenmusicai Fellow @EHFNewZealand, @NgaiTahu Iwi.
Joined February 2010
If you have slept on @futureverse & @TheRootNetwork this is what you missed this year. No one ships and innovates like this ecosystem. This is also your last warning. 4th Jan 2024.
Reflecting on 2023: 11 companies merged into 1. With 30+ products, games and experiences released, world-class partnerships announced, and the launch of @TheRootNetwork, it's been an incredible year. And we're only getting started.

Instagram is the original internet scale metaverse, a fake world where people spend their virtual lives as avatars of their true self.

Stakers earned over 350,000 XRP in the first rewards cycle plus ROOT , ETH , ASTO and SYLO. The VORTEX model on the ROOT network gets very interesting for stakers as the network activity grows no other network rewards model comes close.
Staking rewards have been distributed. ✨. Vortex tokens, our network’s reward token, have now been sent to those who helped secure the network in the last reward cycle. Throughout the reward cycle Gas & Network Fees and the networks Bootstrap Incentive are added to The Vortex.

The idea of the Open Metaverse in popular culture IS Ready Player One. There is no better IP than this to engage the millions of fans around the world in the ideas of openness and interoperability on the home of the open metaverse @TheRootNetwork. We look forward to sharing more.
We couldn’t be more excited to announce that we’ve teamed up with @readyplayerone creator and producer to launch Readyverse Studios to bring leading IP and brands to the metaverse.

This isn't just a good day for us it's an awesome day for web3. The creators of @readyplayerone had every option available to bring this to life and they chose to do it with web3 technology & @TheRootNetwork because it represents the ideals in the story.

I know im biased but @altstatemachine token claim was the smoothest best designed web3 UX i have used so far. These are the "small" things you need to do well if you think you are going to build a scaled product for the mass market. @altstatemachine and @flufworld are top shelf.

Full room lots of great community members and builders. Was nice to chat to @MonicaLongSF and @bgarlinghouse face to face again about what we are up too and how to grow the ecosystem together.
The #XRPL Zone in Seoul is in full swing, chatting with builders and innovators, sharing our vision of an open and immersive future and how AI and blockchain can help make it a reality. 🎵 by @jenmusicai.#KBW2024 #BuiltOnRoot

As an APE holder This is very disingenuous. That's being kind. Firstly this isn't an ETH problem this is a contract and mechanism design problem. Even if it wasn't. APE was always going to do a L2. They could have waited but that sweet cash was calling.
We're sorry for turning off the lights on Ethereum for a while. It seems abundantly clear that ApeCoin will need to migrate to its own chain in order to properly scale. We'd like to encourage the DAO to start thinking in this direction.

It's pretty brutal out There frens. While many NFT projects are virgins in this part of the cycle we have been here before and we know how to BUIDL. We have been deliberate about making something that is resilient to the narrow market of luxury digital flatheads.

Rewarding to see so many blue ticks getting into @FLUF_World . Lots of people asked early on “when da influence” we said were here to build the best community and product and that will come in time. Now it is. The metaverse is built from the bottom up we just gettin started fam.

Been saying for a few years now that FB is a zombie. We’ve seen it before with Nokia, Blackberry etc. In the end they no longer innovate but desperately try to stay relevant “meta” was a last grasp at relevance without understanding the movement that is replacing them.

Web2.0 was all about the idea of UGC user generated content. An exploitative system where users are not in the value chain and get mined. Web3.0 is about UOC User Owned Content. The same kinds of aps and media but users can now be part of the value chain and privacy is respected.

Congratulations to @bgarlinghouse @MonicaLongSF and the @Ripple team. Many doubted our decision to partner with @XRPLF on @TheRootNetwork . We are proud at the @futureverse to have stood by them as they fought for us all. #XRP #XRPArmy.
@Ripple Ripple Labs scored a victory in the United States district court in the southern New York district on July 13 as judge Analisa Torres ruled in favor of the company in a case brought forth by the SEC dating back to 2020.

Games, Worlds and the OPEN Metaverse itself in the future will be made of metadata and rendered on the edge on any engine, platform or device. @futureverse has been building the foundations for this. ASM 2.0, Murmur Matrix , Universal Blueprint Framework and D.O.C papers soon.

Our mission at @futureverse is to make web3 so easy to use that this never happens again. So the default choice is to trust in software. News will fade Technology won’t. Im privileged to know so many epic builders who care about the mission more than $ . Keep building frens.

Vogue. I'd never have dreamed of having something i built end up here. This is the first time we have been able to pull the moving parts together of our @futureverse platform to show how you can make a web3 application simple and fun to use. #builtonroot.
Starting today, anyone can create their own digital @Reebok sneakers using generative AI. It’s part of a surge in brands using the tech to put design power in the hands of their customers.

“The metaverse is dead” they say . Meanwhile Vision Pro is in back order , Disney is putting a yard and a half into Fortnite Roblox is pumping. The hype might have died down but on the ground it’s bigger than ever and we’re building the tech to make it open.

Ok so team had a little play. @yugalabs is right taking 2d cartoons and making them 3D and then game ready is tough and usually very manual. We gave it a crack with our AI tooling on a little koda of our own. Phase 1 went pretty well. img2img 2d to faux3d preconditioning for DOCs
@BananaOfMercy @aaronmcdnz Proof of concept challenge for team @futureverse. Take the metadata from 10,000 unique Koda's and show us 10,000 fully rigged 3D Kodas. Show Otherside how it's done.

Captain Questmas lets pump that up 1k $ROOT per FLUF bonus on top of the quest rewards. We wanted to start getting the collectables more involved in the quests based on community feedback (not traits yet) Lets see those grinches out there stay mad.
