Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg has his eyes on the big picture: a more decentralized and interoperable metaverse that allows users in the virtual world to create, monetize and share their ideas without any barriers!
In a statement earlier this week, the 37-year-old CEO revealed that he became interested in Metaverse from a young age. While the idea was discussed even before Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004, the company has only just begun to devote itself entirely to bringing it to life.
“I think somewhere it was always clear that this would be the ultimate in a digital social experience. We started working on this with the company about seven years ago, and then the Oculus team joined us.”
Zuckerberg also reiterated his endorsement and support for the entire blockchain industry and cryptocurrencies, which he believes are still in the early stages of their development.
“I’m pretty optimistic about crypto, web 3 and all this overall going, I think it’s still in the early stages compared to what it’s going to be at its full potential.”
Interoperability, Ownership and Low Wages at the Center of Meta’s Agenda
It is thought that Metaverse will create a friendly environment for NFT creators and other developers to forge their own paths. In addition, developers will have access to all the tools they need to work on their projects and interact with each other under one tent without any barriers. Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement on the subject:
“The Metaverse promises a much broader level of interoperability. Again, Metaverse; It’s a place where you own your identity, your expression, your avatar and your belongings and move them between different experiences.”
As the Facebook CEO concludes, with such interoperability, the creative ecosystems currently face; He stated that problems such as the high costs of printing NFTs and selling them on various blockchain networks will be phased out, allowing buyers and sellers to agree on their own prices.
