ELEMENTS OF OUR METAVERSE

=====

Our metaverse is composed of a diverse range of elements that contribute to its immersive experience. Let's explore some of the core components that define our metaverse:

I: Planet chains

Miverse warmly welcomes other companies and partners to join our metaverse and contribute by creating their unique planets. These companies and partners can establish their own currencies within their respective planets, making use of our infrastructure and resources. This collaborative approach allows for the creation of distinct storylines and experiences within the metaverse.

II. Country Chains:

Drawing inspiration from historical discoveries of new lands, we aim to provide our users with the thrill of exploring and harvesting resources across multiple areas within our metaverse. The Miverse encompasses numerous planets, each hosting a variety of countries and areas. These countries and areas will offer limited resources and tokens, prompting users to join together as a unified country to engage in resource acquisition and gameplay. As resources become scarce, we will introduce new countries for users to join by paying a nominal fee, thereby gaining access to fresh territories abundant with resources for further discovery and resource acquisition.

III. Seasons:

In the Miverse, we introduce the concept of seasons, each lasting for a span of 4-6 months. As a season draws to a close and resources in the current country dwindle, we open up a new country for exploration. Users have the option to continue their endeavors in the existing country or seize the opportunity to venture into a new country by paying a fee, thereby unlocking additional rewards and possibilities.

IV. Maps:

Every country within our metaverse is a mosaic of diverse areas. These dynamic environments allow users to actively participate in various activities, be it work or leisure, fostering a sense of immersion and engagement.

V. Game Maker:

We provide users a game maker to allow users create their own game and allowing them to earn rewards while enjoying engaging gameplay.

VI: Marketplace

Our metaverse boasts a secure marketplace where users can confidently buy and sell items, lands, buildings, and other unique non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This marketplace serves as a hub for users to acquire mission essentials, personalize their homes, and establish their companies with distinct styles. Additionally, users can trade their NFTs with others and even engage in lending and borrowing NFTs from fellow players.

VII: Multiple NFTs system:

In the Miverse, users are not limited to specific actions for earning. We constantly introduce new activities that enable users to earn rewards. With each new action-to-earn activity, we create and offer associated NFTs for sale on the in-game marketplace, supporting and enhancing the experience.

In summary, our metaverse offers a rich and dynamic environment where users can explore, collaborate, and engage in various activities while forging unique connections with fellow users and influential personalities."
