1. What is Metaverse?
Metaverse = Internet + Augmented Reality + Virtual Reality
The best way to understand Metaverse is by watching 7 movies - Ready Player One, Minority Report, Avatar, Iron Man, Matrix, Inception, and Wreck-it Ralph.
Facebook's rebranding to "Meta Platforms" has brought Metaverse to the front, but it is actually an old concept.
I remember using Second Life in the early 2000s. Second Life created a user-defined world in which people could interact, play, do business, and communicate. The major band Duran Duran performed a concert in the Second Life virtual world in 2006!

|
Axie Infinity (AXS),

Axie Infinity is an Ethereum-based virtual world where you can collect, breed, battle, and trade virtual pets called Axies. These virtual assets are represented by tradable ERC-20 or ERC-721 tokens.
Decentraland is an Ethereum-based virtual reality platform where you can buy, build upon and monetize plots of virtual land.
Enjin enables developers to tokenize "in-game" items on Ethereum. Enjin Coin is an ERC-20 token that backs these digital assets.
The Sandbox is a blockchain-based virtual world where you can create and trade digital assets in the form of a game. Its a place where decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) meet non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
