Highrise World is the web3 Roblox, or Decentraland/Sandbox with true user engagement. The social metaverse just announced its inaugural LAND sale, making available 11,111 ERC-721 parcels of NFT land on the Ethereum blockchain that owners can customize however they see fit. Unlike Meta’s Horizon Worlds, which is only offering a select few creators the opportunity to make money, Highrise World provides all landowners the opportunity to monetize their parcel and generate profit.
The first LAND presale is next Wednesday, April 27 exclusively for Highrise Creature Club NFT holders.
Pocket Worlds Invites Communities to Build Self-Governing Metaverses in Highrise World, Alongside its First LAND Sale, Set for April 27
The web3 economy enables the birth of a community-owned digital nation for citizens, creators and landlords and brings true digital ownership to the next 100 million people
“Highrise World is a true metaverse built by its users,” said Anton Bernstein, co-founder and CEO of Pocket Worlds. “We’re giving our community members, brands and other community leaders the ability to become landowners in a decentralized space with actual user engagement. Owners will be able to choose how to customize, ghiovern and monetize their Highrise, providing a never-before-seen capacity for income.”
As Highrise World expands, three different parcel types will exist on the map: LAND, individual parcels on which landowners can create their own tower and determine how to distribute rooms to their community; ESTATE, larger domains composed of multiple LAND parcels owned by a single user that will offer more customizability, richer experiences, and higher revenue shares with the platform; and DISTRICT, larger domains composed of multiple LAND parcels owned by multiple users. Districts can be governed as decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), complete with governance tools that allow owners to make key district decisions. By owning more connected LAND in the form of ESTATES and DISTRICTS, users will have more opportunities to design complex systems for gaming, social, and creative experiences. As Highrise World evolves, Pocket Worlds has future plans to introduce its native currency, the Highrise World Token, a Highrise Gamemaker for the community to develop its own experiences in Highrise World, the Highrise Marketplace and Highrise Assets, enabling users to make their own NFTs that can be traded in the marketplace.
