Maria Mileo on MMXXII Metaverse's NFT access model

0:00I'm Ashton Addison from Block West capital for investment pitch media and today on the Crypto Coin Show we have Maria malleo the biz Dev director of the 2022 metaverse and the alter ego project Maria welcome to the show and thank you for taking the time I'm really excited to dive into your team's metaverse and the alter ego project and nfts and I would love to just start by

0:24kicking off our conversation by just getting a high level overview on 2022 metaverse project what your team's been working on and alter ego thank you thank you Ashton thank you for having me so first of all I would like to make a brief introduction with our company so we are The Architects and we're working in this field for 20 years and We've delivered and

0:51implemented we've created and implemented a lot of projects of really high level it's Muslim like Mansions hotels so different types either commercials and products so what we are doing the project that we were working right now is our 2022 metaverse and it's it's really a unique idea that we created as Architects because

1:21we are inspired of masterpieces that have been created by ancestors and we would really love to make something something new something to back up all all the things that we have all the masterpieces that we have on this Earth and to Showcase it to people so that's how we came to this idea

1:50And as for you mentioned that our collection it's going to be the first step so it's like a key to our metaverse and to introduce this collection we actually made the performance that perhaps you've heard about and this performance is well a bit dashes I know

2:21But still we had you know what is going on the market and it's it was kind of allegory of what is happening of this trip to Winter and the crash that the market is suffering right now unfortunately well we all witnessed it but what we want to do is we want to create something brand brand new

2:50a very exciting Maria and I did read in the bitcoin news about this performance that the alter ego project released and in Venice and this collection called momento Mori so maybe you can just talk more about the performance and the nfts around Memento Mori yes yes of course so it took place in one of the Palazzo of Venice and it was well I guess the viewers

3:22would better watch it on YouTube because so we have it We've shooted it so we have the video from it but just briefly so we actually made the funerals of the constant crypto Market of the current trip to Market and we wanted to announce it not not like something like you know what momentum or remains so you should always

3:54Remember yes that life has an end and but it's it's a new life that is going to come after that and that was actually the main idea of this performance so yes I our Market in general is really tired of all this Cam and hype and the problem is that all the recent nft collections

4:22they had nothing behind them so it's just like small digital images and they're not even art pieces so they kind of seem as as real art so we and we see this crisis and we want to bring something that has True Value which will actually well revise them to

4:54revive the market yeah no I think that's actually a great analogy for you know momentum more for you know the death of what the nft market hype was and sort of bring in the arrival of nfts 2.0 and more value and expanding out to other industries that actually have real world use cases for tokenization of nfts to bring value to those Industries I feel

5:22like this is something that's in the works and I've talked to a few different companies about nfts 2.0 and you know actually driving value with nfts and not just having profile pictures of animals you know which can only last so long so and so I agree with you there only animals now what do you think Maria is needed to revive the nft market and grow it beyond

5:47what it has ever been well I really hope that we will come back to what the nft were supposed to be so it's kind of ownership of the digital assets and now as it has not been behind it just they're blown from from the air so it's nothing and it won't cost anything after I don't know some months so they are just creating some

6:17stories around it but there's nothing solid there's nothing solid underneath that's why what we see like solution is creating real nft Collections and metaverses that will have some real projects so that will bring something to the society that will have a product as service and not just small image

6:44definitely and what I find super fascinating about your team's project is that you're kicking it off with a performance in Venice this momentum morning performance I have not heard of that of any you know crypto blockchain related project doing a performance in Venice sounds super fascinating what was the reasoning behind you know doing a performance

7:10thank you thank you for this question well actually the point is that it's not a coincidence of course because unfortunately as all everybody knows Venice is sinking and it's really endangered and we actually have office in Venice and we Witnesses witness it every day the decay of our beloved City and it's it's a sorrow and it's it's

7:40just a peak of the iceberg because you know with all this natural disasters with all the wars that are happening around the world just to mention the latest one in Syria when we actually we lost for the next for our children even our children what managed to see this Magnificent monuments of Palmira of the Ancients one of the ancient cities

8:07So it's it's devastating actually so it's it's it's really sorrowful that we are losing all this masterpieces and that's why we actually thought this as creating some how can how can we solve this problem we unfortunately we personally can't stop Wars We Can't Stop disasters happening around us but

8:36what we can do is to preserve it and to in some place in our digital world and to be able then to show cases to our children to the Future Generations that was the main idea and actually when designing our metaverse we were really inspired by the ancient Erie of

9:07Allure which is in the northern it's Northern Western part of the Saudi Arabia and as you as you know perhaps there is like the this famous ancient city of Parker and it's actually one of The Monuments included in UNESCO fund and under the patronage of UNESCO it's now from even before that

9:37Anyway so it's it really inspired us to create the Landscapes of our metagors and we hope that it will look beautiful for the people who are coming very interesting also that you mentioned Saudi Arabia there's been a lot of news recently surrounding Saudi

10:05Arabia and that they're creating the most metaverse jobs of any country and they're really focused on having people work in the metaverse you know in the future so you know sort of tying in your team's metaverse to there sounds like a good idea do you see you know is there is that part of the reasoning that sort of seeing it in the news

10:28On why you're focused around Saudi Arabia oh well yes yes you're you're quite right because or what we see and now that Saudi Arabia is one of the most developing countries nowadays and with the Saudi Vision 2030 the program of direct firms for the country that they're developing is actually really in tune with what we are

10:55looking into we're looking into the future so we want to create something that will last long really long and that's what they're doing they're actually developing Technologies the web the web 3.0 and their their interim Innovations they are and at the same time they are interpreserving the heritage that they

11:23have already so it's kind of really in tune with our mission that's why we thought Saudi Arabia can be real custodian of our metaverse and so we have several negotiations with the local government so hopefully we'll do something together interesting and what does that mean for

11:51for Saudi Arabia to be a custodian of your metaverse well we the mission of our world metaverse is going to be to preserve to educate to Unite and so we see our community the community that we're going to build in this metaphors as people who

12:21care like-minded people and creative Genesis and innovators entrepreneurs and people who want to develop this new world together with us and to preserve the Heritage the cultural heritage that we already have so that's why it's kind of coincides with what we're doing now

12:48yeah that's really cool to you know utilize the functionality of metaverses and nft collections to preserve Heritage and not just create digital Apes so with you know obviously metaverse isn't ever expanding open world and there's infinite possibilities of what you can do

13:14what is the way that people will be able to gain access to the 2022 metaverse well first of all we've prepared The nft Collection this nft and it is there going to be the keys to the entrance of our metaverse and we stop actually the quest the questioning and to be in this

13:44proper Community because the first people who will come to our metaverse they're very important for us because they're going to be the one who who will develop it actually together with us so that's why we wanted them to be really knowledgeable and who are in tune with our mission

14:10so that's why we started this Quest okay so the nft collections are actually keys to entering the metaverse now how difficult is it to get an nft key is that limited edition or how can they access that yes it actually limited edition and well it's is it difficult it

14:38always depends but I think it's it's not that difficult so everybody can pass this tasks and can can solve these puzzles but still if you have like some doubts or if you have some difficulties with all this Santa hints so that one can really solve them using their knowledge and

15:05intuition as well okay so this mixes it up a little bit normally getting access to an nft collection you know you just have to wait on the white list or something but in this case you're saying you have to solve puzzles and quests you know what can you tell me about is this yet to be announced or you know how how what kind of puzzles will people

15:29need to solve to get access to the collection well they're going to be several stages and it's not that long don't worry and still I can give you one hint as we are now live so we were using the Fibonacci sequence that must have yeah that makes sense

15:55very cool and what else can you tell us about the metaverse or can can we see for people that don't have access of what it's going to look like well actually I have something to show you and it's going to be something that nobody has seen so far so we didn't showcase that in neither our website or our social media so be ready

16:27okay and here we go so just quick introduction what could you do in our metaverse and first of all you

16:56can use the largest museum of masterpieces and it will go into future collections from all the main the world renowned universities oh sorry museums not during universities but this is the next one to come actually because we also we will have the lecture home for 100 000 people

17:26where we're going to have the lectures from the top pranked universities so apart from educational Parts we're going to have UNESCO pool with the exhibition of all the or all the all the massive all the landmarks the main landmarks that are under the patronage of inester and of course

17:56it's not it's not it's not it's just that one part of our metaverse of course we'll have the entertainment part where people can gather so you can throw Splendid party or you can go to a concert hall for to have to watch some show or for example you can meet with your friends for a cup of coffee there will be some Power Sports and you can go shopping of course

18:27and actually we have a lot to come so we have like leading design companies like they're going to be headquarters of different companies and Banks we're going to have our art galleries and even book clubs so really really we now we have we have a lot of ideas and or hopefully we'll manage

18:56to make all of them live and well actually yeah you just should go to our website then you can check something else definitely yeah no that sounds really exciting it looked like you guys are using Unreal Engine or something the technology underlying to build the metaverse well yes now we are working with the

19:25Unreal Engine school but then we're going to Unreal Engine 5. And the Technologies you know that they're developing so and now we are looking forward to the avant-garde technologies that are going to come as well and we as Architects for us is very important what people will see in our that matter verse what experience then they will have because

19:54unfortunately now we don't have nothing like that so it's some boring pictures so you seem like in the desert and it's nothing that will cherish your view I don't know so it's it's kind of I don't know personally I had a lot going there but we want to we want to create something really really different so we want people to come to our metaverse and

20:20enjoy the sin it's it's so relevant because no well we know that Technologies are very important that's why we have like our department of programmers that I go into today all but still we also have the creative part and which is the same for us really important because technology along is not enough you need to have like three really some something

20:49that will that you must feel at home because it that is the idea of all this virtual reality that you can feel it that but if you see this boring picture you're like an oh I better go outside I have like a magnificent view and in this case we're going to create something really extraordinary because we have a

21:20wide experience in development as well and our main knowledge is that to construct something you force me to make the master plan in order to realize how it will look like in Broadway and then you need step by step you need to consider what will be the sequence or for all the construction

21:48points and only in this case you'll manage to create something really well organized and functional as well so beautiful and functional that's what we are creating in real world and that's we want to create in virtual world beautiful love it Maria I'm looking forward to seeing how it all gets built out and I'll definitely follow along for

22:12the for the nft collections and the keys for the viewers what is the best way for them to learn about the nft collection and make sure that they can get a hold of the keys well we have our website of course so it's like 2022 dot EO and then we have a verb class of our social media so we have Twitter we have to explore it

22:40and Instagram so YouTube channel of course where we showcase our videos and also you can visit the website of our architectural Bureau and we can you can also find us in the list of the awards the architecture and Interior Design Awards because with one a lot of them so far

23:07and we were featuring in Forbes and different open magazines so yes awesome that's great I will leave the link to the website and the Social Links as well in the description just to make it easy for the viewers thank you Maria for coming on and sharing this story and I'm looking forward to seeing more of the metaverse that was a great little

23:32like Glimpse that we got of it there please let's let's follow up in the near future when there's more updates and thank you so much for the time thank you thank you very much
