Is blockchain the important underlying technology in the Metaverse?

The heat of the metaverse came much faster than expected, even when the giants are still rubbing their hands, the market has overreacted, but a careful observation, we will find that this field is still the heat of the media, not the heat of the industry.

When people think of the "metaverse," they usually think of an immersive visual and sensory experience. Metaverse is defined as "a traversable, visually immersive, synchronous, multi-user heterogeneous virtual world network".

However, the visual immersion is the most redundant, and the most important part is the shared data layer between them. The shared data layer is what makes the metaverse metasexes, and this data layer will be based on blockchain.

Blockchain provides identity for the metaverse

Speaking of the most fundamental guarantee of the metasverse, we can imagine a scenario,If we have two Me in the metaverse, what kind of feelings, it would be like in the Internet world can be easily Copy, it is difficult to tell who is the copies, and this problem will not exist in the metaverse. This is also a function that the Internet is difficult to achieve at this stage.

But blockchain does.

Tamper-proof and traceability make block chains inherently "copy-proof". In the metaverse, in addition to the current traditional identity authentication system, there is a great probability that our identity will join the identity authentication system of block chains in the future. This means that user identity can be determined even without the traditional identity authentication. It also guarantees that other people's identities will not be copied or stolen.

Block chains provide decentralized support for the metaverse

Block chains are called value Internets because they guarantee that the data on them will not be tampered with or forged, and that the data can be transmitted retrospectively so as to convey values and interests. If our precious personal data is de-centralized through block chain technology, this can make our data personal, and no one can tamper with it or dispose of it at will.

With the help of the block chain, the future metaverse can be closer to real-world interaction, such as buyers and sellers don't need to know who the other party is, and they don't need to worry about phone harassment when buying virtual real estate in the metaverse.

Because block chains are de-centralized and transparent, rules can be written in advance by smart contracts, which ensures that the code is not part of a black box operation and that no one can tamper with the rules. Once the rules are written, they can be automatically executed. When the conditions set by the rules are triggered, the smart contracts in the block chain can be executed according to the settings, which is the interpretation of the code as the law.

In this way, all kinds of behaviors in the metaverse can be guaranteed to be fair, just and safe with the block chain. The metaverse will also become more legally harmonious, and the block chain is an important technical basis for safeguarding the social environment in the metaverse.

Block chains provide asset support for the metauniverse

NFT, supported by block chain technology, provides a reasonable and efficient enabling for assets in the metaverse, and block chain technology itself offers the possibility of asset digitization.

First, NFT can capitalize virtual items that previously could not be realized. Second, the association of NFT with offline entities is an easy way for influential traditional enterprises to connect to the metaverse. At the same time, NFT can separate control from editing while ensuring the scarcity of assets.

Block chains, as immutable decentralized ledger, can satisfy the requirements of metaverse asset digitization. Logically, they have advantages over other technologies in terms of instant trading and reliability.

As a master of science and technology, the metaverse can not be separated from the support of block chains. The current development of the metaverse may not need to rely on too many block chains. However, as long as the metaverse remains an open and free network, it will inevitably meet the block chains. Block chains will bring a subversive change to the metaverse and will also influence the current Internet form.
