In addition, the long-awaited Metaverse game platform from the creators of Bored Ape Yacht Club is now open. largely.
On Saturday, the game developed by Yuga Labs invited 4,300 players (so-called “Voyagers”) to a glimpse of tech demos and a tour of an online platform navigated by an immersive ape avatar. All other players must embark on or display one of these “first trips” so that they can participate in games that have not yet fully debuted.
All 4,300 players who participated in yesterday’s digital excursion to the “Biogenic Swamp” that forms the heart of the other side were the owners of “The Other Deeds,” a certificate for the Digital Land parcels within the platform.and litepaper Otherside developers, released shortly after yesterday’s First Trip, announced that only Otherdeed owners and “selected third-party developers” will be able to participate in the game in the first phase.
According to the light paper, in “Phase 1”, the owner of Otherdeed navigates Voyager’s Journey. This is an 11-part story game that surrounds the mysterious obelisk that appeared in the Otherside universe. In Phase 1, Otherdeed owners can contribute to the construction of the platform and form its core functionality as a co-developer through the Otherside Development Kit, a suite of platform creation tools.
We believe in the extraordinary power of the community and have seen first-hand how it can be an important force in the industry, said Lightpaper. “We aim to incentive, empower and recognize the expression, creativity and ingenuity of the otherside contributor community.”
Lightpaper has also doubled its otherside commitment to interoperability. Digital assets are the ability to freely traverse many digital neighborhoods, or gaming platforms, that may make up the metaverse that avatars navigate. Proponents of the “Open Metaverse” like Yuga Labs see interoperability as the key to the spirit of the democratized and accessible future of the Internet. Such supporters have spoken out about the risks posed by giants like Meta (formerly Facebook).

On Friday, Gordon Goner, one of the co-founders of Yuga Labs, said in a tweet that Otherside is directly competing with the Web 2 “giants”, “the future turns towards an open and interoperable metaverse. I’m optimistic.
The fact that Otherside is currently only accessible to digital landowners is unlike any other major metaverse platform that is open to all Internet users. The cheapest Otherdeeds on the market are currently priced at 2.8 ETH and CoinGecko.. Many are much more expensive. With an enthusiastic 24-hour sale when Otherdeeds went on sale in April Generated $ 651 million in sales When Ethereum network is badly cloggedIts minimum charge was $ 5,800.
Monopoly When Barriers to entry are very high A key element of the recipe that made Yuga’s boring Ape Yacht Club perhaps the most popular and recognizable NFT brand in the world. Yesterday’s announcement highlights the potential tension between that spirit of rarity and Yuga’s expressed desire to create another side at the heart of the battle for the “Open Metaverse.”
For now, Otherside may be considered the most prominent gated community in the Metaverse.
