TL;DR

For the metaverse, decentralization of applications is the core requirement to ensure its security, freedom and sustainability. Only complete decentralization can guarantee the assets of users in the metaverse, and blockchain is the key technology to achieve this goal. With the emerging and blooming of blockchain technology, “owning” becomes reality in the metaverse, not just covering an asset, but also your rights to experience and create.

In the movie Free Guy, the director created a spectacle called Freedom City, which, like the oasis of the Ready Player One, is a vision of a future metaverse. But in the movie, when the main character is searching for evidence of the villain’s crime in Liberty City, the villain can stop the main character by destroying the server running the game, which clearly runs counter to the idea of a decentralized metaverse.

Ethanim is a metaverse infrastructure that provides complete and powerful underlying support for the metaverse. Developers can use Ethanim’s high-performance network to develop large-scale metaverse applications. Ethanim also provides a common technical interface that allows users to freely create and build an open and connected metaverse ecosystem.

On the Ethanim platform, all users will have access to the application, and nobady will be able to manipulate or shut down the application. All kinds of problems caused by centralization in traditional applications will be solved in Ethanim.

Game assets get forfeited?

If we were in a metaverse, we wouldn’t want that happen to us. This requires that the metaverse be built on a server that is not controlled by a centralized agent, but where all data can be stored, manipulated, and transmitted in a decentralized manner.

Through the combination of distributed storage and network transmission technology, Ethanim can build the decentralized network infrastructure expected by the metaverse, so that users’ data and assets in the metaverse belong to users themselves and will not be arbitrarily controlled and destroyed by others.

Shut down your favorite game?

Many users have had their favorite apps shut down due to poor management or a variety of reasons, but that will not be the case with Ethanim.

Ethanim can continuously copy the snapshots of the application through the reliable state machine (RSM), and combine with the immortal file system, the application state snapshots output by the trusted state machine, and the code files of the application, etc., to package and store them on the blockchain. When an application needs to be recovered, the running node obtains the application code and status snapshot file from the storage node through the reliable state machine, and restores the application status at any time. The node runs independently without relying on the original developer.

Too hard to get involved in development?

The metaverse is an ecosystem of many different types of apps. It’s a world that rewards creativity, where developers rely on creativity to capture user value, and users reward valuable services and apps with their assets.

Ethanim allows users to start or modify their applications and benefit accordingly. Users can copy and paste an app into a new version as they wish, and different versions of the app can coexist. Users can also use virtual identities and assets to move between different versions of the app.

While other users can use digital assets to encourage creators, such as paying for access to special content, or simply rewarding their favorite creators with donations, Ethanim ensures that creators are rewarded for their talent and effort.
