Univers is proud to announce our partnership with none other than the VR revolutionist EVA (Esports Virtual Arenas)!</p><h4><strong>About EVA:</strong></h4><p>EVA is a leader in virtual arena e-sports introduced to the world at Paris Games Week in 2019. EVA equips players with VR headsets and backpack computers with connected rifles, then offers them unlimited mobility in an arena up to 5000 sq ft large. They’ve coined this method of gaming as “free roaming” and truly make players’ dreams of being “inside” their favourite video games a reality. In addition to the first person physical experience, all of EVA&#39;s arenas are equipped with hardware and devices to host live/live-stream EVA games and competitions to online audiences. Now they’re taking this technology one step further by partnering with Univers to introduce the next generation of VR e-sports with blockchain compatibility on a global scale.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*4LWiONAqDJTTiIE8pzwWGw.png" /></figure><h4><strong>About Univers:</strong></h4><p>Univers provides critical infrastructure to the Metaverse.</p><p>Our multifaceted <strong>Software Development Kit</strong> (SDK) facilitates communication and data transfer between blockchain ecosystems thereby connecting virtual experiences. A <strong>Univers Citizenship</strong> provides users with a unique metaverse identity that is soulbound to each account enabling them to transport their avatars, achievements and digital assets across every experience. Univers’ <strong>DeSoc Mechanics</strong> (DSM) are inspired by Vitalik Buterin’s journal on <em>Decentralized Society </em>and place ownership, interoperability, and decentralization at the forefront. These mechanics can be easily utilized for Metaverse, GameFi, Governance, DeFi, among other use cases to create the first ever social metaverse.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*ba5iv3pgF3PpXuuWY3jQLA.png" /></figure><h4><strong>Univers x EVA</strong></h4><p>Both Eva and Univers are passionate about innovation within the gaming industry.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Feat. Paweł Kalinowski</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*HJpahYND0U8-AuAPr3V8JA.jpeg" /></figure><p>Univers has a dynamic team with many different skill sets and responsibilities. A few weeks ago we had the honour of introducing our Product Manager to you via our weekly Founder’s Corner session. This week we are proud to delve deeper into his mind and history in our Meet the Univers Team Series, featuring Paweł Kalinowski! Paweł has a vibrant background in finance, software and blockchain: here’s what he had to say about himself and Univers!</p><h4><strong>What is your professional background?</strong></h4><p>My professional background comes mostly from financial/banking software areas. I started my career as a functional tester in a world-leading company producing software for banks and financial institutions then continued my testing career in one of the Nordics banks — in the largest core banking program in Europe. It was a really challenging and ambitious project, with great people and energy. In the meantime, I started growing my knowledge about Scrum and Project Management, which resulted in changing my position to being a Scrum Master of two Scrum teams.</p><p>After-hours, the crypto world became my private interest. After some time, I became an advisor for VAIOT project, focusing on software quality and product development. That was my first professional step into the crypto industry. After couple of years in big corporations I wanted to gain hands-on experience with blockchain and started working in the polish software house Veriori, which offers software which builds on blockchain. From there I landed in Univers.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*UJxKaOjHfztSkchGI1FcFA.jpeg" /></figure><h4><strong>What attracted you to Univers?</strong></h4><p>Being part of such an interesting project from the very beginning, is something you can’t miss. Working with visionaries (Yann), tech geniuses (Cherif) and crypto wizards (Michał) is an everyday pleasure. Apart from the people, the concept of the Univers is second thing which got my attention. Connecting virtual worlds and real-time decision making in live e-sports games are the things which I can’t wait to make a reality.</p><h4><strong>How do you believe your expertise will enhance Univers?</strong></h4><p>Thanks to my mixed experience — joining hands-on software testing with working in agile software teams has helped me to hone my ability to develop IT projects and products.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*-EV_W2-r2nZbwTlU9Xospg.png" /></figure><h4><strong>What are you looking forward to the most/what about Univers excites you the most?</strong></h4><p>As I’ve mentioned in the previous question, connecting virtual worlds and real-time decision making in live e-sport games excites me the most. Those are very ambitious and complex initiatives, almost without any precedence.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*LHfdl97DfgFk1M8yMi-j7A.png" /></figure><p>Paweł is a curious mind with the incredible ability to view problems from many different angles giving him the unique ability to find creative and unique solutions. He continues to elevate the Univers vision and we cannot wait to back in his achievements as we continue to develop!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*9xfIILNu0wa74MEN4b9WNg.jpeg" /></figure><p>To learn more about Univers and its incredible team, connect with us on our socials and tune in daily for VIP news and updates:</p><h3>Univers Official Links:</h3><p>◾️Website:<a href="https://www.univers.io/"> https://www.univers.io/</a></p><p>◾️Twitter:<a href="https://twitter.com/Univers_network"> https://twitter.com/Univers_network</a></p><p>◾️ Telegram Announcement Channel:<a href="https://t.me/Univers_network"> https://t.me/Univers_network</a></p><p>◾️ Telegram Community Channel:<a href="https://t.me/entertheunivers"> https://t.me/entertheunivers</a></p><p>◾️ Discord:<a href="https://discord.gg/3EXcf8h777"> https://discord.gg/3EXcf8h777</a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=98e98108822" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><strong>Feat. Corentin Guillaume</strong></h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*RqO5rMCmSyztogb7I3R5oQ.jpeg" /></figure><p>Univers has spent the last few months in a deep state of development and expansion. Those of you attending our weekly Founder’s Corner sessions are savvy to some of the most exciting announcements and operations. This week we are proudly relaunching our Meet the Univers Team series with some amazing new additions to the team and one such introduction today! Corentin Guillaume has a diverse background in video game project management, production, software development and has been officially on-boarded to Univers as our Video Game Producer. We asked Corentin some questions about himself and Univers; here’s what he had to say!</p><h4><strong>What is your professional background?</strong></h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*fEKx2fEUUgZzIoB3s-sp1w.jpeg" /></figure><p>I studied video game project management in a school in Paris, where I learned how to manage any kind of game development. My first experience as a project manager was in the VR field. At this job, I was in charge of asking developers to join a Netflix-like catalogue for VR Games. I was also in charge of managing the development of the catalogue. My next job was as a producer in an indie game studio. I was responsible for the daily management of multiple project teams as well as nurturing relationships with numerous clients and multiple video game publishing companies. A few years ago, I created a company to sell plugins that I developed for the Unreal Engine marketplace. This company enabled me to sell my game/software– NFT Museum, which I developed alone for six months!</p><h4><strong>What attracted you to Univers?</strong></h4><p>The thing that attracts me the most to this industry is the challenge. We are at the beginning of something great with blockchain technology in general; a blank slate where everything must be done. A space with so much potential and so little definition is very alluring. The core vision of Univers is what attracts me to the project. In essence, Univers intends on building a developer network to actually create the metaverse. In my opinion, you can’t make a metaverse with a single entity. A metaverse is built on the synergy between many projects and that is exactly what Univers is facilitating.</p><h4><strong>How do you believe your expertise will enhance Univers?</strong></h4><p>With my game industry knowledge, I will be able to bring a healthy, qualitative, fun, and sustainable front end to our metaverse. With my technical background, I will be able to understand the technical challenges of incorporating blockchain into video games and address them/solve problems– with the help of a talented team!</p><h4><strong>What are you looking forward to the most/what about Univers excites you the most?</strong></h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*An_MJcXzBV2rJn1AZbuBAw.jpeg" /></figure><p>I can’t go into many details as much of my present work is under NDO, but what I can say is, we will work on some groundbreaking (and technically challenging) features that can change the way we watch and use entertainment. This tech added to the blockchain concept, and you have exceptional value with Univers.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*NeJyqNjEi93my9bEzN5ffQ.jpeg" /></figure><p>Corentin is a brilliant mind with a creative flair. Experienced in all the right areas and full of passion for discovery and exploration, he is sure to not only bring the Univers vision to life, but carry it to even greater heights.</p><p>To learn more about Univers and its incredible team, connect with us on our socials and tune in daily for VIP news and updates:</p><h4><strong>Univers Official Links:</strong></h4><p>◾️Website:<a href="https://www.univers.io/"> https://www.univers.io/</a></p><p>◾️Twitter:<a href="https://twitter.com/Univers_network"> https://twitter.com/Univers_network</a></p><p>◾️ Telegram Announcement Channel:<a href="https://t.me/Univers_network"> https://t.me/Univers_network</a></p><p>◾️ Telegram Community Channel:<a href="https://t.me/entertheunivers"> https://t.me/entertheunivers</a></p><p>◾️ Discord:<a href="https://discord.gg/3EXcf8h777"> https://discord.gg/3EXcf8h777</a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=fe1f832231f6" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>How our Physical and Virtual Lives are One &amp; the Same and the Role Choice Plays</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*zqofEMghMDLCSQlqSneGiw.jpeg" /></figure><p>What would the physical world look like if more of it were designed and built with greater social consideration and with the input of many minds from all different backgrounds? Univers founders ponder this frequently, especially when contemplating ever changing cityscapes. Cities that in the past were considered glorious, are now often preserved for their historical value, but present difficult challenges to modern day needs. Historical structures, roadways and landscapes alike are often modified to increase and meet new accessibility standards. We witness this all the time with the continued adoption of accessibility ramps/escalators and elevators for those who use assistive devices. We have also experienced an increase in the popularity of braille in public buildings and transportation stations/vehicles, and have even seen widespread social media adoption of the captioning of videos to be inclusive of those who are hard of hearing. Many accessibility issues that in historical times drastically decreased the quality of lives of those they belonged to, are now (not without their challenges), but not factors which limit our potential to thrive and enjoy fulfilling lives. It is very easy to determine the incredible value of considering many different human experiences when building a strong society. And Web 3.0 has the potential to further increase accessibility and capacity in our physical worlds!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*TimhJ6JlYpIUXvmHg176Jw.jpeg" /></figure><p>How could Web 3.0 be used to improve our lives? The opportunities are infinite. Consider the ways we already use the technologies which make up Web 3.0…</p><ol><li>Social media (although addictive) is at its core both an extension of our voices and a method of fulfilling our very primal human need for connectivity. It allows us to communicate with one another, learn from and teach one another, as well as feel connected to and part of a community which is essential to our survival.</li><li>Augmented Reality (AR) is literally an extension of our physical reality, but one in which we gain the ability to experience life with even more creativity. Sure, AR is a ton of fun, but it also helps us make important decisions about our lives– from our aesthetics such as what hair colours we like on ourselves, or what furniture we think looks good in our houses, to teaching us valuable historical information and delivering visuals of what the future could look like overlaid on our current world.</li><li>Virtual Reality (VR) takes that one step further and is an extension of our physical reality into a virtual setting. VR allows us to build upon familiar concepts of existence and create entirely new worlds, creatures and even thought processes. It can stimulate the imagination of those with little creativity, or be used as a tool for teaching valuable lessons to those with learning difficulties. It can even give those with physical difficulties, the opportunity to participate in exhilarating experiences such as roller coasters, skydiving or mountain climbing, but in a safe and virtual way.</li><li>When it comes to blockchain and its positive potential, consider the many people with limited earning opportunities who have found ways to earn active and passive income regardless of the financial state of their governing nation. It is also continually increasing in its security and speed which makes it ever more powerful.</li></ol><p>But like all technological advancements, Web 3.0 has both positive and negative potential and the result will be determined by the groundwork we are collectively laying now.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*0YvK6_qhqCe__MG1-Pqnfw.png" /></figure><p>When we say negative potential, what we are considering are the various ways technology has been or is being used to submit the population, extract information and resources from them or deliver false or hateful information on a wide scale. We also wish to be mindful of the balance necessary to ensure users are utilizing Web 3.0 as a tool to enrich their lives, and not as an escape from it. Louis Rosenberg provides an excellent example of the many ways metaverse participants could be targeted in XR in his recent article for VentureBeat:</p><p>“<em>Imagine walking down the street in a</em><a href="https://venturebeat.com/arvr/metaverse-101-defining-the-key-components/"><em> virtual</em></a><em> or</em><a href="https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-89906-6_1"><em> augmented world</em></a><em>. You notice a parked car you’ve never seen before. As you pass, you overhear the owner telling a friend how much they love the car, a notion that subtly influences your thinking consciously or subconsciously. What you don’t realize is that the encounter was entirely promotional, placed there so you’d see the car and hear the interaction. It was also targeted — only you saw the exchange, chosen based on your profile and customized for maximum impact, from the color of the car to the gender, voice and clothing of the</em><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/362802004_Marketing_in_the_Metaverse_A_Fundamental_Shift"><em> virtual spokespeople</em></a><em> used.</em>” <a href="https://venturebeat.com/datadecisionmakers/metaverse-we-need-guaranteed-basic-immersive-rights/">Click here for the full article</a>.</p><p>Now, we’re not saying that targeting advertising is inherently negative because it can in fact be quite convenient at times. The grey zone is how the information has been collected and distributed to 3rd parties for advertising purposes and the degree to which users are targeted–Louis’ example is quite disturbing! Thus, there must be collective agreements made on what is appropriate, fair and beneficial, and what is unhealthy, and potentially harmful. This brings us to choice, and why you should care about it as the metaverse blossoms.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*7kMhNsJ2HlvMkA-4IqdqOA.jpeg" /></figure><p>A recent prediction by Gartner suggests that “<a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2022-02-07-gartner-predicts-25-percent-of-people-will-spend-at-least-one-hour-per-day-in-the-metaverse-by-2026"><strong>by 2026, 25% of people will spend at least one hour a day in the metaverse for work, shopping, education, social and/or entertainment</strong></a>”. In the physical world, when you spend one hour of your free time somewhere, it’s usually because something about the environment or experience appeals to you– you are choosing to be there. However, XR is a little different…That’s because a lot of the time that we spend online is actually habitual and somewhat mindless. It is with this, and everything else we’ve discussed up until this point in mind, that we seek to highlight the incredible importance of choice from the initial formation of the metaverse, to its more evolved state. Keeping the human at the centre of Web 3.0 reminds us that this technology is to enhance human life, not extract from it. By listening to and utilizing the opinions and feedback of users and community members, metaverse and GameFi projects can develop experiences that are not only curated to suit the wants and needs of the global community, but keep their safety and health in mind. Again, it’s like building a city but with greater awareness of and input from people with varying capacities/backgrounds so that more people can be empowered to fulfill their potential and gain greater freedom. Implementing choice in the metaverse as an infrastructure tool can determine architectural preferences, define social climates, stave off corporate dominance, ensure a level of quality control, and more than anything, keep the conversation between users, developers, and project teams fluid. Most of all, choice gives us the opportunity to have our virtual reality not just mirror our physical reality, but improve it. Let’s shatter the barriers between the two so that innovative solutions, imagination and global connectivity enrich every spectrum of our existence, together.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*5yXPV5f1xl5GzcZ0HhMqJg.jpeg" /></figure><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/Univers_Network"><strong>LinkTree</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://www.univers.io/"><strong> Website</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://twitter.com/Univers_network"><strong> Twitter</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://t.me/Univers_network"><strong> Announcements</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://t.me/entertheunivers"><strong> Telegram Channel</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://discord.gg/3EXcf8h777"><strong> Discord Community</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://medium.com/@univers_network"><strong> Medium</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/universnetwork"><strong> LinkedIn</strong></a><strong> |</strong></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=2e49b4ca4e60" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*hpRAGKuX1y1PigeEFqwpeA.jpeg" /></figure><p>Earlier this month we introduced you to our proprietary blockchain mechanic, Choose-to-Earn (C2E). In our last article we provided some insight on the Philosophy of C2E, C2E User Functionality and C2E Broader Metaverse Integration. Today we’ll delve deeper into C2E, explore its variations, as well as highlight some of its user impact metrics.</p><h4>C2E as a Game Mechanic &amp; Self Governance Tool:</h4><p>Those of you who joined our last Discord Founder’s Corner talk, may recall our Blockchain Advisor– Michał Szachno, talking about C2E representing a game mechanic as well as a self governance tool. That’s because C2E is designed as a sort of “plug-and-play” mechanic that any project/virtual experience joining our network may use to improve their ecosystem, and gain direct and valuable insight from their users, all while rewarding users for their votes and decisions. C2E can be regarded as a self governance tool in that user “voices” are represented via decisions/votes. These decisions and votes will help shape the future of the ecosystem, even to the degree of what projects will be built up and provided development support from our DAO, or what tools/weapons/geographic regions are available in the ecosystem. C2E will take different shapes depending on what project/game is using it and have greater or lesser influence on the ecosystem/gameplay itself. Above all, C2E serves as a powerful tool to both developers and everyday users.</p><h4>C2E vs C4A:</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*E0gGuVfn1txXEWlPabJ7Lg.jpeg" /></figure><p>By now you are aware of what C2E is and its various utilities but we have yet to introduce you to C4A — Choose-for-Allocation. C4A is the MVP/premier version of our C2E mechanics. C4A will focus on using choice-based mechanics for interactive and gamified lore building through storytelling with rewards in the form of token allocations. C4A will allow us to familiarize our community with C2E type decisions as well as reward them even before our TGE! C4A rewards users for true engagement thereby eliminating the potential of increased bot activity prior to our TGE; in other words, only real users are rewarded! As our main focus is on interactive and real engagement, C4A can also be extended to social activities (social mining) where off-chain activity (ie. social media engagement) can be rewarded on-chain in the form of increased scores and greater allocation earnings. C4A provides us the unique opportunity to start building a symbiotic relationship with our incredible community where our ecosystem may quickly improve based on the decisions of our users, and our users are rewarded with allocation for their quality engagement.</p><h4>C2E User Impact Metrics and How They Work:</h4><p>All Univers user choices will be permanently recorded on-chain enabling users and projects alike to create, and determine member time investment and corresponding community value. In the Univers ecosystem, impact, voting frequency/consistency, and total vote share (TVS) will allow our users to earn tiers. The elite voters with the most impact will have the opportunity to ascend to Arbiter status, where they can strive towards becoming the driving governors of the Univers ecosystem. User impact metrics represent a major opportunity for projects to establish it as their own DAO infrastructure– giving users feedback on their impact and giving them the opportunity to gain ranks.</p><p><strong>Some User Impact Metrics Are:</strong></p><ul><li>Total Vote Share</li><li>Total Votes Locked</li><li>Total $VRS Mined</li><li>Frequency Score</li><li>C2E Current Streak</li><li>Impact Score</li><li>Rank/Tier</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*DOSYXSbJEbivn6jAtdAHNA.jpeg" /></figure><p>Univers is committed to nurturing an ecosystem based on the wants, needs and direct feedback of its users, developers and community members at large. Our choice-based blockchain mechanics make that vision a reality enabling us to utilize the hive mind for the greater good of the entire ecosystem, offer new projects/games joining our network powerful game mechanics and self-governance tools which can be modified for their specific audiences, and track/use impact metrics to further incentivize quality engagement and even assist with the formation of project specific DAOs. C2E is Univers’ DeFi mechanism that ensures the metaverse evolves in a manner that serves the masses while providing them with increased opportunities to earn.</p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/Univers_Network"><strong>LinkTree</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://www.univers.io/"><strong> Website</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://twitter.com/Univers_network"><strong> Twitter</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://t.me/Univers_network"><strong> Announcements</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://t.me/entertheunivers"><strong> Telegram Channel</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://discord.gg/3EXcf8h777"><strong> Discord Community</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://medium.com/@univers_network"><strong> Medium</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/universnetwork"><strong> LinkedIn</strong></a><strong> |</strong></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=8b026f631d8e" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*vZHiCK2NxT3EftN-N1LSRQ.jpeg" /></figure><p>Those of you who have been following Univers from the very start have watched our project evolve from broad concepts to brilliant realities. From inception, we have envisioned a connected network of metaverse experiences that offer users true liberty via technical infrastructure and intelligent blockchain mechanics. Today we’re excited to introduce you to the first of our core mechanics, Choose-to-Earn (C2E).</p><h4>The Philosophy of C2E</h4><p>C2E emerged from Univers’ fundamental belief that our community should be intimately involved in our decision making processes. This is to ensure our ecosystem (unlike many others) develops in ways that suit the needs and interests of our community. Many projects incorporate mild versions of these ideals however, C2E is one of our core blockchain mechanics and ensures our users are involved in high impact decisions that directly shape their Univers experience.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*wAspJdaYMsFViOIM1oosGA.jpeg" /></figure><h4>C2E User Functionality</h4><p>C2E functions by rewarding users for their engagement with and feedback on Univers. We present users with high-level choices such as validating user experiences around the development of the network and providing opportunities for them to earn based on their time engagement. The more active a user is with Choose-to-Earn, the more compound rewards they will receive via $VRS through an auto-stake mechanism. Additionally, many of these choices will be presented to our users via captivating lore and immersive experiences. This means users will get to experience riveting entertainment and earn $VRS, all while sculpting the Univers ecosystem for the betterment of all.</p><h4>C2E and Broader Metaverse Integration</h4><p>C2E will be expanded to other use-cases within VR, gaming and our DAO to ensure complete ecosystem integration. C2E will also be available as a sort of “plug-and-play” blockchain tool for other projects and games joining our network. Projects and games will be able to seamlessly incorporate C2E into their ecosystems and experience all of the benefits of community guided development while offering their users increased earning opportunities. On a broader level, mass adoption of C2E will improve user experience across the entire network while equipping metaverse projects with the information they require to create the most popular experiences possible.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*v1w65A4ci0wZE5szmcM7RQ.jpeg" /></figure><p>Univers created Choose-to-Earn to put the power of metaverse growth and direction into the hands of its users. C2E rewards users for their input/choices, is multifaceted and scalable. In our next article we will explore C2E further and expand on its variations.</p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/Univers_Network"><strong>LinkTree</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://www.univers.io/"><strong> Website</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://twitter.com/Univers_network"><strong> Twitter</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://t.me/Univers_network"><strong> Announcements</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://t.me/entertheunivers"><strong> Telegram Channel</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://discord.gg/3EXcf8h777"><strong> Discord Community</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://medium.com/@univers_network"><strong> Medium</strong></a><strong> |</strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/universnetwork"><strong> LinkedIn</strong></a><strong> |</strong></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=d452dc0eb905" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

For those of you who may have missed it or those looking for a recap, here’s how it went!</strong></p><p><strong>Host</strong>: Good day everyone, we are happy to have Univers in our live AMA</p><p>session today We have @Univers_CMO and @szachnom with us to talk more about their platform.</p><p>Please welcome our todays guest @Univers_CMO and @szachnom from the team of Univers</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: Thank you @Andersn112 and Crypto Lab community! A pleasure to be here🏆</p><p><strong>Host</strong>: A very Warm WellCome to you in our Community ,,</p><p><strong>Host</strong>: Here I’m starting our first segment of AMA That is about introductory Question !</p><p>I’ll Ask 5 Questions From you in first Segment</p><p>Are you Ready ??</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: Hola Crypto Lab, hope you are having a good Wednesday!</p><p>As always ready to rock!</p><p>Lets Gooooo 👍👍</p><p><strong>Host</strong>: 1: Firstly, please introduce yourself with us.What’s your role in Univers and also introduce your team with us?</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: My name is Peter Nguyen, and I am the Chief Marketing Officer here at Univers: The Metaverse Network. I have over ten years of experience in traditional marketing where I spent time working on digital, social and experiential marketing with companies such as Nike, Coca Cola, and Spotify.</p><p>With a pleasure. My name is Michal and I have been involved in the crypto spce for several years now. Mainly working on unique go-to amrket strategies and tokenomics fitting the market needs. This is excalty what my role is at Universe too 🙂</p><p>The Univers Team has over 30+ years of experience in AAA Game Development and Creation, VR and AR Technologies, Film &amp; Television Production and has a staff of over 150+ employees including 50 Developers across Berlin, Los Angeles, Paris &amp; Warsaw.</p><p>The team has developed AAA Games which have been released on Steam, Oculus, HTC Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality. Extensive experience working with Google, Microsoft, Ubisoft and Balenciaga.</p><p>Previous team projects include Brave Frontier from the major game studio Gumi. This received an average of 4.5 rating from 700K users on the Google Store and Apple Store and has over 10M+ downloads.</p><p>Very Impressive 👍👍</p><p><strong>Host</strong>: 2: Now please tell us about your project “Univers” What were the initial thoughts and motives behind this project?</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: We at Univers firmly believe the metaverse is the next stage in human technical evolution but has some inherent issues or failings that need to be addressed and resolved.</p><p>Metaverse experiences are largely centralized and disconnected from other metaverse experiences and projects. In addition, the parties currently investing money into the development of the metaverse are primarily centralized organizations known for forcing users to agree to unfair and questionable terms which grant them complete control over the user-generated data. These organizations raise huge ethical and proprietary concerns amongst users worldwide, making the metaverse experience less credible, less trustworthy and thus, less engaging.</p><p>Our solution is infrastructure and technology capable of harnessing the power of the blockchain while championing connectivity and interoperability between virtual experiences. We are building a diverse network of independent projects where every idea has the opportunity to be explored and thrive regardless of what is popular or trendy at the moment. Univers will connect metaverse experiences without trying to dominate or control them!</p><p><strong>Host</strong>: 3: Univers is looking stronger as compared to others. My question is which features of your project will attract more investors and players towards your project?</p><p>I can take care of that one 🙂</p><p>Move ahead</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: Univers aims to simplify the blockchain development process for game developers by introducing the Univers SDK. Through connecting with the Univers SDK, community members can enter Avalon; the Gateway to the Metaverse through which they can explore a PVP Arena, Marketplace, Live Event Spaces, a Vibrant Community Hub, and connect to other worlds</p><p>Please find the lsit of the advantages below 👇</p><p>☑️ A simplified SDK for developers which includes industry research, best practices and technical requests from over 30+ game studios.</p><p>☑️ Already developed mechanisms for NFT Staking.</p><p>☑️ A premier metaverse experience designed by an Emmy Award Winning Director (x2).</p><p>Love these unique things ❤️</p><p><strong>Host</strong>: 4: Please share complete Tokenomics of your token with its distribution and use cases?</p><p>Sure, token part is my fav to be honest</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: $VRS is the ecosystem token for Univers. It will serve as both the governance and utility token within the network. Our unique token is designed to put power into the hands of the users and empower the use of the network from the players, developers and content creators</p><p>Let me point out the key token utilities being provided with the use of $VRS token</p><p>👉 Token Utilities</p><p>Governance- securing the network &amp; voting power</p><p>Game Auctions</p><p>Platform fees</p><p>Premium access to the Univers SDK</p><p>In-game payments</p><p>NFT sales</p><p>Used for the Game Makers Fund</p><p>Advertising fees</p><p>Payments in the LBEs (Location Based Entertainment centres)</p><p><strong>Host</strong>: 5: What are your aims in next 2 years according to your roadmap? What if I ask you what is the ultimate goal of Univers ?</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: As mentioned briefly above, our long term goal is blockchain agnosticism, meaning we plan to truly champion interoperability between virtual experiences.</p><p>Any project, application or platform can be connected to or built on the network through any reality, such as VR, AR or 2D interfaces.</p><p>In addition, Avalon is a magnificent and multifaceted virtual space itself meaning our users actually get to enjoy the entire experience of travelling between different virtual worlds, and have an interesting and fun place to hang out regardless of whether they need to or want to travel between worlds. We’re not just trying to be a bridge, but a thriving and passionate community.</p><p>Our goal is to become the premier metaverse solution for all projects regardless of blockchain or ecosystem.</p><p>We also have a major airdrop campaign happening right now where we are giving away the first ever batch of $VRS! You can enter to join a chance to win some today!</p><p>Host: We are done with our 1st Segment of AMA ,,</p><p>Now its time for Twitter Questions</p><p>Here is the First One “””””””</p><p><strong>Q1</strong>: The liquidity of a project is what investors are interested in. How will you solve the liquidity problem? Do you have plans to list on major exchanges like Binance or Houbi?</p><p>Great question! To answer it briefly…</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: We are currently in deep discussions to list on a major exchange.</p><p>More news to come. 😉</p><p><strong>Host</strong>: 2nd one from Twitter</p><p>What is the ultimate vision that “univers_network” is trying to achieve within the cryptocurrencies market? Obviously the whole space will experience huge growth in the upcoming years, but what role would you like your project to play in this?</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: We want to be the premier solution for all metaverse projects. We plan to develop and build upcoming projects through our Univers Foundation which is our Game Maker’s Fund. Through this we will create a strong network of games, experiences and live events!</p><p><strong>Host</strong>: 3 : What will the $VRS token mean for each project that enters the universe ecosystem? What will other project owners be able to do with $VRS and what advantages will they have? also how will he use $VRS tokens with his own tokens?</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: Having $VRS as the universal token will allow independent game studios to easily enter blockchain with an in-game economy ready to go.</p><p>This also means that there can be universal asset flows across each metaverse on the Univers Network. So all of the hard work that players have spent in customizing their avatars, levelling up their characters, collecting in-game items and assets can now be transferred seamlessly and frictionlessly across our network!</p><p>To put it simple -&gt; we are creating true interoperability across the metaverse ✅</p><p><strong>Host</strong>: 4 : Being a gaming platform, what are the games you are currently supporting? What type of games are you planning to add in the future? How do you plan to expand to non-crypto users as there are many gamers with zero blockchain knowledge?</p><p>We currently have games ready to go!</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: Our core team has extensive experience in developing AAA games and have produced some major hits in the past! As a sneak peak we are also developing our own in-game mechanics for the world of Avalon.</p><p>Avalon will be the community hub where users can enter via any of the mixed realities and explore ways to play and earn, including a live PVP-Arena, Marketplace, Live Event Spaces and Concerts. It allows users to not only meet and socialize within an immersive experience, but then directly access any other virtual experience connected to our network.</p><p>It is both extremely engaging and amazingly convenient!</p><p><strong>Host</strong>: 5 :- I read that #Univers_Network is intended for three main users: For Game Studios, For Developers &amp; Creators.plz explain what will be the advantages of them and the incentives or rewards they will receive respectively?</p><p>What do I need to become a member of Univers?</p><p>It’s true! Univers has incredible advantages for these three types of users 😊</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: Univers enables seamless interoperability with other experiences on the network so game studios may simply bring their games, worlds and virtual experiences to Univers and connect into our thriving ecosystem and community.</p><p>For Creators and Developers, Univers empowers all creatives to start building on the network, and to connect and control their assets, as well as cultivate new and unique realities regardless of user experience level and blockchain development knowledge</p><p>In these ways, Univers will be especially attractive to game studios, creators and developers. We will empower their creativity without seeking to control or put limitations on it.</p><p>All this said, it’s important to circle back to Avalon because Avalon is the gateway to the metaverse and that feature is extremely valuable to any and every type of user.

As such, interoperability for all virtual experiences connected to our network is an absolute necessity and our priority. To make our vision a reality, we created Layer Zero.</p><p>Layer Zero is a data transfer layer running beneath Univers. It’s connected to our mother network (COSMOS based chain providing interoperability and security) and to metaverse based projects and gaming apps that enable horizontal scalability.</p><p>Layer Zero can be best understood as the data transfer layer. This layer is enabled by the IMC Protocol and a transport layer for metaverse smart contracts, facilitating their on-chain communication.</p><p>Great 👍👍</p><p><strong>Host</strong>: Thats All from our todays Session</p><p>Thank you both of you</p><p><strong>Guest</strong>: Univers is a network built by the people for the people.
