Key points from the latest interview
- VERSES has developed hyperspace transaction protocol as an open standard to enable interoperable digital information and instructions in physical spaces similar to how HTTP works on the web.
- The spatial web requires underlying digital infrastructure like VERSES to allow smart city components from different companies and governments to interoperate rather than remain siloed.
- Virtual assets in the spatial web include digital twins of physical objects with embedded data and purely virtual assets like characters and experiences that can be experienced in augmented or virtual reality.
- Blockchain technology becomes valuable in the spatial web for ensuring data integrity around virtual assets and creating digital scarcity where previously only digital abundance existed.
- VERSES protocols are currently in beta testing with large global partners and planned for deployment next year through a foundation model similar to the World Wide Web Foundation.
