A few interesting ideas from the article, which uses Decentraland as an example of the metaverse:
"There is only one metaverse. While the buzzword's meaning is often stretched into different configurations, there is a clear definition. The metaverse is simply the internet, updated to accommodate spatial experiences."
That Decentraland is built in the "browser, open-source, with a peer-to-peer server architecture, leveraging an immature blockchain ecosystem".
"In early 2020, Decentraland completed one of its initial goals – to hand control of the project over to its community. It did so by formalizing a DAO and handing it power over the essential smart contracts controlling LAND, wearables, the marketplace, and more."
