Coins of The Realm — 5 Coins That Are Empowering The Metaverse

There are a lot of similarities between the evolution of Web 3.0 technologies compared to their predecessors. Just like Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 were about connecting people, the Metaverse incorporates a range of technologies and integrates new ones to create new worlds of connections between people and groups of people. One of the key differences is the use of digital currencies. Thanks in large part to blockchain technologies, startups that are creating their own stake in the Metaverse are creating their own currencies. These currencies add a deeper connection to these communities, one that wasn’t possible in former iterations on the web. In this article, we’ll look at some of these coins empowering the Metaverse. Because of the constant fluctuation of the market for these coins, they are arranged somewhat randomly in the Metaverse but analyzed through sentiment and investment tools Santiment.

This article is not investment advice, but informational. It’s based on current research and observation.
