Polygon-Backed Plutoverse to Help Gen-Z Create, Play, and Prosper

The metaverse will soon enter full bloom. Although the virtual world’s of the future are still in their infancy, the builders and creators of the next wave of the internet are hard at work in creating the digital landscapes where we, the users, can enter into whole new lives and have true digital ownership. Whole new online economies built around passionate communities about to be born. Venture capital, clearly, is no slouch when it comes to investing in the next big thing, and multiple massive VCs have backed huge metaverse projects and backed game-changing infrastructure for web3.

Polygon Outperforms Bear to Boost Metaverse Initiatives

Plutoverse is one such project. Plutoverse has the backing of none other than the CEO of Polygon, easily one of the most important chains in the wider crypto space. While most other projects, even major top 10 cryptocurrencies, have shed 80-90% of their value (looking at you Solana), Polygon has retraced significantly less than its rivals during the recent bearish market. Polygon’s investment in the wider crypto space is well-known, with their industry-leading Polygon Village helping so many projects take themselves from first idea to final protocol, substantially boosting the health of the industry as a whole.

Despite Polygon and their teams’ active work in supporting the grassroots crypto communities that thrive on its chain, angel investment is an entirely different story. Sandeep Nailwal, the founder of Polygon and influential super-investor in the web3 space, is actively involved in helping out the Plutoverse team in bringing their vision for a bigger, better, more open, and more inclusive metaverse to light.

What the Metaverse can Truly Do

Plutoverse’s vision is using the synthesis of blockchain technology and VR capabilities to create a metaverse that redefines our social economy and helps bring outcasts into the centre and misfits into the middle. Plutoverse is seeking an antidote to the chaos noise of social media and modern online representation that distorts our generation and chills their aspiration. Plutoverse is focused on building the meta-architecture that lets people express themselves, and lets people participate in an online dominion that truly respects and rewards them for being who they are.

Plutoverse’s engine will function as a suite of creative tools that means users can build their own experiences for others to enjoy and add to the Plutoverse’s ever expanding horizon of possibility. Users will be able to create artistic, gaming, and spiritual experiences within the broader gameworld and even earn from players coming together to play their game. Over time, the Plutoverse will shape in accordance to the will and desires of the community, who have absolute agency in the space and the chance to derive tokenized value from participating within it.

The Plutoverse Avatar NFTs

One of the central creative fulcrums is the Plutoverse Avatars. These Avatars act as a central conduit for a user to become part of the Plutoverse and act as a broader insignia of a user belonging to a Plutoverse community inside the wider, interoperable metaverse. The avatars are far more than the usual copy-paste clutch of aliens, zombies, and robots. Rather, they come in six distinct tribes, with their Tropical Cyberpunk faction already teased on their Twitter. Plutoverse Avatars will change and upgrade as they move through the world of Plutoverse, and the debut Avatar collection will be launched in December, with details to be announced soon.

With Polygon Ventures behind them, Plutoverse is seeking to build a community-first platform that truly focuses on them. The financial backing and resources Plutoverse has at its disposal means there is no need to harvest revenue from its community right out of the gate in order to build the project, as is so often the case with NFT projects who pre-sell their digital items to get their project off the ground. There is no necessity for Plutoverse to profit from their NFT avatars out the gate, which allows the team to focus exclusively on building the best possible experiences for their followers and creating the metaverse the world craves.

A Safe Space for the Future

The mission is to create a safe space in the new web3 for millennial and Gen-Z users to feel at home and to unleash their dormant creativity by giving them the arena, the tools, and the rewards to accumulate real value by being what they are best at – themselves. Everyone in the Plutoverse team, including the VC-team at Polygon backing them, are misfits.

The geeks have inherited the earth, and Plutoverse strives to make the world better for it. Many metaverse projects are focused on extracting value from their users, with the clothing of web3 a mere simulacrum to drag users in.

Plutoverse is different, Plutoverse believes an interoperable community-built metaverse can create an infinite possibility space for self-expression, as long as the tools are built correctly. Plutoverse, with the help of Polygon, are building those tools, and as 2023 rolls around, and the metaverse begins taking its true shape, Plutoverse will be at the centre – a home for misfits in the multiverse of web3.
