The abstract

What is SpaceXpanse Multiverse?

The metaverse of the future

It is a next-gen trustless GameFi blockchain platform, designed for rapid creation of metaverses, immersive user experience, and easy development of complex decentralized applications.

What do we want to achieve?

To put the technology to real work at last

By putting the crypto technology back on track, we are making a self-sustaining virtual environment, which we called SpaceXpanse Multiverse, where people can communicate, create, have fun, and which can be easily accessed by anyone from anywhere.

How will we make it happen?

With some help from the Open-source community

The whole project will be carefully structured and will gradually broaden the scope of its tasks over a span of four years to avoid any roadblocks on its path.

The inspiration

When Erik Wernquist’s “Wanderers” video surfaced for the first time more than 8 years ago, it was both mesmerizing and kind of frustrating to watch. Because only by using the director’s imagination and skills could one travel through the vastness of our solar system and visit places that were otherwise out of reach.


But the time passed and some new technologies started to emerge: from Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin blockchain, which was already there, making some waves in the IT space, through the big boom afterwards with all the cryptocurrencies, adopting different approaches like Namecoin and Huntercoin, and last year’s NFT metaverse craze, to all the open source projects like Martin Schweiger’s magnificent piece of simulation software, known and unknown contributors to similar projects, and 2022’s “jewel in the crown”, the previously unthinkable Unreal Engine 5.1, which was not only beyond everything one could imagine but now open source.


And all of these projects have just made what was unreachable several years ago reachable now, within everyone’s grasp. Or, to be more precise, reachable soon.


So for us, being such science and gaming nerds as we are, it was inevitable in the last few years to start to connect the dots and slowly draw a blueprint of something that we now call “the metaverse of the future

The problem(s)

The biggest problem with the metaverse currently is the lack of technology and infrastructure to support a seamless and cohesive virtual world experience. This includes issues with latency, privacy, interactivity, and the limited sensory experience offered to users. This and several other major concerns have to be addressed by “the metaverse of the future”:

Preventing impersonation and enforce code of conduct

The interactivity of the metaverse may allow a bad actor to carry out more convincing attacks through some advanced vector like social engineering or just by using someone’s avatar.

Preventing data theft and misuse

The metaverse will likely increase the potential scope and amount of personal data that some bad actors can collect. And this vast amount of data is a gold mine that some technology companies and marketers can potentially tap into.

Creating and transferring value

The metaverse will have its own form of virtual market, integrating different real and digital currencies to enable quick and simple trading. It will be crucial to have a transaction verification mechanism, regardless of the currency or market.

Preventing cybercrimes and subdue offenders

Immersive experiences, especially those supported by haptic technology that transfers the experience of touch from the virtual world to the user, raise questions about how to respect personal boundaries and how to anticipate circumstances where such incidents may occur.

Building viable economy

The challenge will be in creating a unified system that has to be used to authenticate the possessors of virtual assets in the metaverse, awarding and proving ownership rights for art, music, films, and much more.

Utilizing the devices used

To use virtual reality, we now need the latest technologies and expensive headsets, as well as strong and reliable connectivity. This can widen the gap between its potential users.

Enhancing the sensory fidelity

The metaverse will have to advance to a level that can provide smooth comprehension of presence and surroundings, accompanying visual fidelity with the ability to touch and feel.

Dealing with health and psychological issues

The metaverse is an evolution of the Internet we’re familiar with, but with much more interactivity. Simply watching something on a flat screen with the level of interactivity we have today is highly addictive in itself, and there’s no reason to doubt that this will extend into the metaverse.

The crafty toolbox

The main goal that we pursue is simple yet proved difficult: We want to turn the game around /pun intended/ and for people to start creating value while playing and not vice versa, using the so-called Play and Earn model. On the other hand, we want to use these cutting-edge technologies to provide a virtual “playground” for developers/researchers to test their ideas in an environment as close as possible to the real world.


The outcome of this desire will be an unstoppable, irreversible, serverless blockchain-backed platform in which everyone can develop any kind of application, using their favorite programming language in the process — one’s imagination is the only limit.

The backend

Decentralization, decentralization, decentralization. This mantra was repeated again and again through the past few months due to the whole Web 3.0 buzz, but it couldn’t be more true.


Any really dependable metaverse platform has to jump on the bandwagon just to be able to catch up with the others and also because this is one of the most important single feature that any contemporary Web 3.0 platform must have.


But decentralization and the blockchain technology behind it can’t be really usable without having at least some degree of privacy. So it has to be serverless, trustless, and dependable but also secure, redundant, and private when needed.


This is where the actual blockchain technology will come in hand, combined with features like ability to store some data and broadcast it amongst the nodes in the network, transferable trustless shortnames, which also allow send and receive cryptocurrency value instead of these long and messy address strings; creation, storage, and transfer of fungible and non-fungible tokens to have some actual economy; decentralized DNS, serving top level domains like shortname.rod for example, completed with some kind of peer-to-peer data storage nodes to give capacity, redundancy, and privacy of the data stored across the platform. This will be the actual backbone of the platform, or, if we have to use a more technical term — the backend of the “metaverse of the future“.

The frontend

To be honest, all these before-mentioned features can’t have much practical value for the masses without any actually usable technology that can implement them into a self-sustained virtual environment where everyone who’s using it can easily communicate, develop, and relax if one wants, and that can be accessed from everywhere through various devices. And this is where the other parts of the “metaverse of the future“ come into play, making it complete.


The actual face of it, or, if we have to use the technical term, the frontend, has to be some kind of simulator where all developed functionalities can be visualized and tested and which can be easily configured and maintained. The best case scenario should be when this simulator can not only represent reality to some extent but also effortlessly add different objects to it like planets, satellites, buildings, and vehicles; have some laws of physics like gravity implemented; and also be as vast as one’s imagination.


And all this has to be accompanied by the possibility of developing decentralized applications that can communicate from within all currently active platforms’ metaverses and between each other, by using a programming language of their choice. Like a platform-wide social network, using the decentralized data storage to save any private information of the users. Or a platform-wide DAO where everyone can publish a project, idea, or something else and have it backed up if enough users find it worthy. The possibilities are obviously endless.

And the place where all these can simultaneously and effortlessly work together to achieve an exceptional user experience, we now call SpaceXpanse Multiverse.

The solution

What are the main use cases of SpaceXpanse Multiverse?

But first, to quickly define what SpaceXpanse Multiverse is, think of a three-dimensional Internet, in which the different metaverses /realities/ are like websites on the regular Internet. And the decentralized applications are like different pages on these websites, showing different information.


All of them are built using the same key principles but with different technologies and can be used for different things.


SpaceXpanse Multiverse is developed to be:

  • Persistent — means it exists regardless of the user’s physical presence.
  • Infinite — supports almost unlimited users and realities, at the same time.
  • Self-sustaining — means that users can earn within a metaverse and pay for others’ services.
  • Interconnected — users can own, move and trade their virtual items, like avatars, from one metaverse project to another, following predefined rules.
  • Real-time — allows users to relish life-like experiences.


And by providing SpaceXpanse Multiverse platform to develop implementations for different use cases, many benefits for its potential users can be gained.
