Trader Nicholas Merten called the metaverse sector the most promising direction of the crypto market in 2022. According to the analyst, altcoins from this sector have been the leaders in terms of returns for the past few months. Metaverse tokens will be able to show similar dynamics in the next year, Merten believes. The concept of metaverse has been around for a long time, but before its popularity was hindered by two factors: a weak technological base and distrust of the online environment. From a “trend” metaverse started to turn into “real life” and the needs of users began to grow with an incredible speed. The familiar 2D pictures and lack of user uniqueness became more and more of a problem. The solution to improve metaverse came from the MetaBody, forming a new market of realistic and creative avatars behind it, and some companies are already making progress in mastering it. The MetaBody is a project that provides ultra-realistic 3D avatars for use in the meta-universe and beyond. The MetaBody was established to develop high-end custom avatars, communities and tools to accompany holders in their metaverse experience. “The development of the metaverse directly depends on the quality and realism of the avatar. Unique metaverse characters, moreover with the possibility to create a custom image, is a new stage of metaverse development which really feels like real life”, – comments MetaBody Studios. The first thing one wants to see in a metaverse is a new level of quality and the universe as close to real-life as possible. The main use of the MetaBody in the metaverse. Avatars can be integrated into existing and emerging virtual worlds. However, this is not the only use, in the future, the MetaBody can be used to perform at virtual events. Avatars can hold a VR concert on their own or participate in the show of a new digital clothing collection, It is also worth noting being rendered in any surroundings and having their own social media: examples of practical use can be found on the Instagram page of user Anelie Godar. In the future, the MetaBody Studio plans to add more file formats to ensure seamless integration into emerging metaverse and other virtual worlds. A limited set of avatars will be custom and made according to client’s wishes. The MetaBody allows you to be anything you want. The MetaBody is not a trend that should take root in the realm of the metaverse. It is a step toward perfect quality unique avatars for metaverse users. The MetaBody is quickly becoming a cornerstone of Web-3.0 development and integration into future business processes, it is clear that related markets serving such traction will flourish. The MetaBody project intends to offer its users some of the most versatile and exclusive avatar collections on the market, highlighting the uniqueness and individuality of its owners.

Bitcoin will aid humanity in raising its levels of consciousness when self valuing people secure their individuality and everyone’s self interests are aligned.

WILMINGTON, DE - February 22, 2022 - A social experiment concocted by Dutch artist Dadara and NFT digital rights management platform RAIRtech has resulted in the creation of 7.9 billion digitally identical NFTs of CryptoGreyman. While physically, the NFTs all look the same, each carries its own serial number - a commentary on the way in which people are viewed in the centralized corporate world; generalized to numbers.

In a sea of NFTs that artificially create scarcity by imposing ‘rare' traits, limited collections, and exclusive communities, the identical CryptoGreyman NFTs - available for purchase for 1 MATIC (~$2.05 USD) -  seek to be the opposite. 

“I see this as a dead serious prank, which can rattle the cage of consensual reality and elevate conversation. It's an experiment with an unpredictable outcome,” said artist Dadara. “No one specific NFT is better than another, and because the minting price is widely accessible it will be interesting to see what value each individual CryptoGreyman holder brings.”

The NFTs feature the Greyman character, originally created by Dadara in the 1990s, but have been given a pixelated, web3 makeover. The NFT's only unique characteristic is the serial number, which is given out in sequential minted order. The project is a commentary on the way that government and corporate society have stripped people of their individuality, often reducing them to numbers and statistics, which is paralleled by the unrelenting pressure that social media has put on people to be radically unique. By launching CryptoGreyman, Dadara hopes to raise conversation on the potential in the decentralized Web3 space to create a more honest form of individuality, by putting the users first. 

“This year this whole NFT “status symbol” idea has really developed, to the point where people will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a Bored Ape NFT or other PFP projects and will use that piece of digital uniqueness as what defines them. This project is more democratized, the barrier for entry is intentionally low,” said Garrett Minks, CTO of RAIRtech. “When a person purchases a CryptoGreyman, that attached serial number is theirs. That number, if they chose to keep it, will be theirs until the end of time, or the blockchain ceases to exist.”

This project is not only a statement piece, it also brings real-world benefits to refugees. The project has teamed up with non-profit Movement on the Ground, an organization that seeks to dignify refugee reception across the globe. RAIRtech is placing 2,222 of the most coveted numbered NFTs in a treasury. Movement on the Ground will disperse those reserves as part of an educational program that teaches refugees how to set up a wallet and sell their NFTs, enabling the start of their new lives with a wallet that can travel with them anywhere. 

The cause was chosen because one of the largest issues that refugees face is the struggle to obtain proper forms of identification needed to seek refuge. Often refugees and asylum seekers are seen by countries and governments not as people who have fled unimaginable situations not of their own making, but rather as piling paperwork on a desk. 

Polygon will provide the Layer 2 solution and will mint the drop, which is slated for February 22nd at 2:22pm EST. Each NFT will cost 1 MATIC ($~2 USD).
