The Metaverse

The metaverse, the latest buzz word, but a concept long in the making. Projects like Decentraland and The Sandbox may seem to be at the right place at the right time when Facebook announced their rebrand to Meta. However, it was credit long overdue, they have been building the metaverse on the blockchain for the past few years when nobody cared to take a second look, even shunned the idea of a virtual life.

When we first heard of the metaverse, it immediately made sense to us. Maybe it was the years of playing the Sims video game, Second Life, and games that poked on the idea of a virtual life. While the idea was still foreign, we dove straight into Decentraland, and girl, were we blown away by the amount development and creativity inside.

In fact, Decentraland was so ahead of its time, we felt that we had enough runway to build 8SIAN in the metaverse before it became mainstream. We put on our best digital outfit and strolled down the meta-streets. We headed to the casino, where we were greeted by other users, we admired NFTs in the digital galleries (before NFTs were a thing), we teleported to a mining site to craft more digital clothes, then we ended up at Atari’s own land fitted with elevators and free NFTs to claim.

That experience floored us, it felt as if earth expanded, and suddenly the possibilities were endless. Today, we’ve already seen global forums and events in the metaverse, live concerts, art galleries and auction houses, casinos, fashion shows, and play-to-earn games within the metaverse. We later found out that people were “working” and earning in the metaverse, predominantly from developing countries.

That made us think, this is not a game, this is not a fad, but these are financial opportunities that didn’t exist for people in developing parts of the world, these are greater freedom of expression, and most importantly the metaverse will reshape our social lives.

8SIAN in the Metaverse

Realizing that the metaverse will eventually take over our social lives, 8SIAN understood that we had to extend our mission into a world that is reshaping social identity and social value as we speak.

That’s where 8SIAN Foundation Museum comes in. Having acquired lands in Decentraland and Sandbox, we are committed in building our 8SIAN Museum in the metaverse. Our lead artist MrHike is already in the works of 3D 8SIANs and in the near future, digital wearables.

Not only will you be able to see your NFTs in the metaverse, but you’ll be YOUR NFT in the metaverse.

We also envision hosting digital events, concerts, fashion shows, and providing a platform for upcoming artists. This will allow us to bridge our members as well as the Asian culture and heritage with a little twist of the new definition of social identity into the metaverse. This is where we leave our footprints, our impact, in the metaverse for the 8SIAN community.

Wait…digital wearables?

If you haven’t heard, BAYC recently partnered with Adidas to feature Adidas clothing on their NFTs. We foresee that the trillion dollar fashion industry will continue to grow digitally, this time, limitless. No limit on how crazy the designs are, if you can think it, you can create it. No limit on the materials, if you can render it, you can wear it.

In fact, high fashion brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Jimmy Choo, Balmain have already made their mark in the metaverse or NFTs.

Great news for our 8SIAN community, we’ve also taken the step to partner with a popular streetwear brand in South-east Asia, not much can be reviewed now but you, our loyal supporters are in for a treat. 8SIAN digital wearables are in the works, and you will get to strut the meta-streets with it.

A lot to grasp huh…

Being part of the 8SIAN community, we will guide you, we will reward you with greater value, we will not leave you behind, and we will bring you along this journey. There is no rush to comprehend all the possibilities, as we build 8SIAN together, our members come first. What 8SIAN is doing is revolutionary, as we integrate our culture with the new social culture that’s to come. Will there be obstacles? Of course.

That’s where you come in, the community that backs us, we owe it to you.

We are firstly creating this community who believes in our mission, and we are bridging our culture and heritage, we are bridging our 8SIAN members to the metaverse. We are here to stay, and we will create a lasting experience for all in the metaverse.
