What is the Metaverse and Who's Building it?

There’s been a lot of hype around the term “metaverse” lately (thank you Facebook Meta). While the concept of metaverse may seem novel to most of us, the term actually dates back to 1992 when it was first coined by Neal Stephenson in his science fiction novel, Snow Crash. At its root, the term “metaverse” can be understood as a shared digital reality space that users can access from various devices. 

For now, the definition of metaverse is just as abstract as its concept (more on this later). To explore more on the high-level basics of “What is a metaverse”, you can check out our YouTube video featuring GirlGoneCrypto here.
