šŸ¤– Tokenization of Agentic Metaverse šŸ¤–
January 10, 2025
post photo preview

The Agentic Metaverse is no longer a distant concept—it’s unfolding right now, reshaping how we interact with AI, gaming, and digital ownership. From open-source tools to persistent AI-driven environments, we’re witnessing a rapid evolution in how virtual worlds are built, experienced, and monetized.

Ā 
šŸ‘‰ Here’s a look at some of the most exciting recent developments in this space, and I advise following these projects rather closelyšŸ˜‰:
  • @hyperfy_io just open-sourced its engines, enabling self-hostable multiplayer worlds with real-time building, drag-and-drop tools, interoperable assets, and more.
    Ā 
    • @virtuals_io shared it's partnership with @infinityg_ai Ā introducing multi-agent asset management, building the first AI-operated asset management company, introducing multi-agent asset management, building the first AI-operated asset management company, @Zenith_XBT, setting the ground for agent society (agent-to-agent interactions).

    Ā 

    Ā 
    • @virtuals_io announced a partnership with @avariksaga, enabling agents to livestream games, comment, and narrate in real-time.Ā 

    • This follows their recent partnership with @illuviumio, which introduced sentient-NPCs/AI-NPCs into Illuvium games.
    Ā 
    • Beyond Virtuals ecosystem, we have also seen the rise of World State Machine that goes beyond traditional conversational agents by creating a persistent, 24/7 simulated environment where Kira exists as a digital persona with human-like behaviors.
    • Unlike typical AI, Kira doesn't just react to inputs; she lives within this environment, engaging in activities that mimic human life, such as studying, working, and socializing, based on a complex system that tracks time, weather, location, and interactions with other AI characters or NPCs like Mei, Keiko, and Izumi.

    The Reality of Westworld-Inspired Games

    While everyone talks about creating Westworld-like games (immersive worlds driven by dynamic NPCs), @powpowfun has been beta-testing its Virtual West World game for a while now. This game features AI agents powered by open-source models from FullmetalAI. Notably, Fullmetal recently integrated ElizOS, which has long-term memory enabled via RAG.
    Ā 
    Ā 
    The team plans to launch @indiedotfun in about a week. Indiedotfun is like @pumpdotfun but for games, allowing anyone to quickly build their own worlds using templates and the game/physics engine by @moddio. These worlds can then be tokenized, enabling users and communities to gain ownership of their favorite games.
    Ā 

    Introducing Indie: Tokenization of Agentic Metaverse(s)

    Indie is a platform that lets developers build and launch Web3-enabled worlds without needing crypto knowledge. It’s powered by the @moddio game engine, which already boasts a large Web2 community that builds thousands of games monthly.
    Ā 
    Creators can choose to launch a token, enabling backers to fund the game and receive tokens in return. These tokens act as the game’s in-game currency. Imagine Roblox, but instead of Robux, creators can use their own token as currency.Ā Open-source LLMs from FullmetalAI are built-in, allowing creators to launch AI agents directly into the game, making the game a lot more dynamic and fun.
    Ā 

    Addressing Web3 Gaming Challenges

    One of the challenges in Web3 gaming is the lack of interest in AAA-level games. Web3 itself is a game—people find speculating on AI agent coins more fun than playing Web3 games.
    This creates a short attention span, with interest peaking for 2–3 days before moving on to the next thing.
    Ā 
    From the gaming studio side, there’s a significant risk: even if the game is fun, interest wanes if the token doesn’t pump. Conversely, if the token pumps but the game isn’t fun, people might engage briefly, but retaining attention remains difficult. Studios face a twofold challenge: delivering a compelling game while ensuring the token price goes up.
    Ā 

    Why Indie is Perfect for Web3 Attention Spans

    Ā 
    Indiedotfun is the perfect engine to cater to this short attention span. With
    @moddio, lightweight indie games can be shipped in days (instead of months), enabling creators to quickly deliver immersive worlds with dynamic AI-NPCs. Gamers can move from one indie game to another when bored, while creators improve their metaverse experiences to retain gamers and maintain the value of their game tokens.Imagine, instead of conversational agents yapping on Twitter, you’ll have Agentic Metaverse Worlds to play in, speculate on their tokens, and gain ownership of these worlds.
    Ā 
    $BNTY acts as the main currency powering everything in this ecosystem.
    Alpha Tease: @indiedotfun handles the supply side, while @ARCAgents handles the demand.
    (Hope the ARC team doesn’t kill me for teasing this lol.)
    Ā 

    Final Thoughts

    The Agentic Metaverse narrative is evolving rapidly. I expect more gaming studios and teams to leverage G.A.M.E and Eliza to power their games. While there are gaps in these frameworks that need addressing, unique gaming-focused solutions will likely emerge in the coming months.
    Ā 
    Additionally, I anticipate Reinforcement Learning and Vision Language Models to grow in prominence. The increasing B2B demand for dynamic AI in games positions @ARCAgents at the forefront with their Agent Gamification Engines.

Musk Turns On Starlink to Save Iranians from Regime’s Internet Crackdown

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a visionary behind SpaceX, has flipped the switch on Starlink, delivering internet to Iranians amid a brutal regime crackdown.

This move comes on the heels of Israeli strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, as the Islamic Republic cuts off online access.

The former Department of Government Efficiency chief activated Starlink satellite internet service for Iranians on Saturday following the Islamic Republic's decision to impose nationwide internet restrictions.

As the Jerusalem PostĀ reports, that the Islamic Republic’s Communications Ministry announced the move, stating, "In view of the special conditions of the country, temporary restrictions have been imposed on the country’s internet."

This action followed a series of Israeli attacks on Iranian targets.

Starlink, a SpaceX-developed satellite constellation, provides high-speed internet to regions with limited connectivity, such as remote areas or conflict zones.

Elizabeth MacDonald, a Fox News contributor, highlighted its impact, noting, "Elon Musk turning on Starlink for Iran in 2022 was a game changer. Starlink connects directly to SpaceX satellites, bypassing Iran’s ground infrastructure. That means even during government-imposed shutdowns or censorship, users can still get online, and reportedly more than 100,000 inside Iran are doing that."

During the 2022 "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests, Starlink enabled Iranians to communicate and share footage globally despite network blackouts," she added.

MacDonald also mentioned ongoing tests of "direct-to-cell" capabilities, which could allow smartphone connections without a dish, potentially expanding access and supporting free expression and protest coordination.

Musk confirmed the activation, noting on Saturday, "The beams are on."

This follows the regime’s internet shutdowns, which were triggered by Israeli military actions.

Adding to the tension, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranian people on Friday, urging resistance against the regime.

"Israel's fight is not against the Iranian people. Our fight is against the murderous Islamic regime that oppresses and impoverishes you,ā€ he said.

Meanwhile, Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last monarch,Ā called onĀ military and security forces to abandon the regime, accusing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a Persian-language social mediaĀ postĀ of forcing Iranians into an unwanted war.

Starlink has been a beacon in other crises. Beyond Iran, Musk has leveraged Starlink to assist people during natural disasters and conflicts.

In the wake of hurricanes and earthquakes, Starlink has provided critical internet access to affected communities, enabling emergency communications and coordination.

Similarly, during the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Musk activated Starlink to support Ukrainian forces and civilians, ensuring they could maintain contact and access vital information under dire circumstances.

The genius entrepreneur, is throwing a lifeline to the oppressed in Iran, and the libs can’t stand it.

Conservative talk show host Mark Levin praised Musk’s action,Ā repostingĀ a message stating that Starlink would "reconnect the Iranian people with the internet and put the final nail in the coffin of the Iranian regime."

"God bless you, Elon. The Starlink beams are on in Iran!" LevinĀ wrote.

Musk, who recently stepped down from leading the DOGE in the Trump administration, has apologized to President Trump for past criticisms, including his stance on the One Big Beautiful Bill.

GENIUS Act lets State banks conduct some business nationwide. Regulators object

The Senate passed the GENIUS Act for stablecoins last week, but significant work remains before it becomes law. The House has a different bill, the STABLE Act, with notable differences that must be reconciled. State banking regulators have raised strong objections to a provision in the GENIUS Act that would allow state banks to operate nationwide without authorization from host states or a federal regulator.

The controversial clause permits a state bank with a regulated stablecoin subsidiary to provide money transmitter and custodial services in any other state. While host states can impose consumer protection laws, they cannot require the usual authorization and oversight typically needed for out-of-state banking operations.

The Conference of State Bank Supervisors welcomed some changes in the GENIUS Act but remains adamantly opposed to this particular provision. In a statement, CSBS said:

ā€œCritical changes must be made during House consideration of the legislation to prevent unintended consequences and further mitigate financial stability risks. CSBS remains concerned with the dramatic and unsupported expansion of the authority of uninsured banks to conduct money transmission or custody activities nationwide without the approval or oversight of host state supervisors (Sec. 16(d)).ā€

The National Conference of State Legislatures expressed similar concerns in early June, stating:

ā€œWe urge you to oppose Section 16(d) and support state authority to regulate financial services in a manner that reflects local conditions, priorities and risk tolerances. Preserving the dual banking system and respecting state autonomy is essential to the safety, soundness and diversity of our nation’s financial sector.ā€

Evolution of nationwide authorization

Section 16 addresses several issues beyond stablecoins, including preventing a recurrence of the SEC’s SAB 121, which forced crypto assets held in custody onto balance sheets. However, the nationwide authorization subsection was added after the legislation cleared the Senate Banking Committee, with two significant modifications since then.

Originally, the provision applied only to special bank charters like Wyoming’s Special Purpose Depository Institutions or Connecticut’s Innovation Banks. Examples include crypto-focused Custodia Bank and crypto exchange Kraken in Wyoming, plus traditional finance player Fnality US in Connecticut. Recently the scope was expanded to cover most state chartered banks with stablecoin subsidiaries, possibly due to concerns about competitive advantages.

Simultaneously, the clause was substantially tightened. The initial version allowed state chartered banks to provide money transmission and custody services nationwide for any type of asset, which would include cryptocurrencies. Now these activities can only be conducted by the stablecoin subsidiary, and while Section 16(d) doesn’t explicitly limit services to stablecoins, the GENIUS Act currently restricts issuers to stablecoin related activities.

However, the House STABLE Act takes a more permissive approach, allowing regulators to decide which non-stablecoin activities are permitted. If the House version prevails in reconciliation, it could result in a significant expansion of allowed nationwide banking activities beyond stablecoins.

Is it that bad?

As originally drafted, the clause seemed overly permissive.

The amended clause makes sense for stablecoin issuers. They want to have a single regulator and be able to provide the stablecoin services throughout the United States. But it also leans into the perception outside of crypto that this is just another form of regulatory arbitrage.

The controversy over Section 16(d) reflects concerns about creating a regulatory gap that allows banks to operate interstate without the oversight typically required from either federal or state authorities. As the two Congressional chambers work toward reconciliation, lawmakers must decide whether stablecoin legislation should include provisions that effectively reduce traditional banking oversight requirements.

Dubai regulator VARA classifies RWA issuance as licensed activity
Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) leads global regulatory framework - makes RWA issuance licensed activity in Dubai.

Real-world assets (RWAs) issuance is now licensed activity in Dubai.

~ Actual law.
~ Not a legal gray zone.
~ Not a whitepaper fantasy.

RWA issuance and listing on secondary markets is defined under binding crypto regulation.

It’s execution by Dubai.

Irina HeaverĀ explained:

ā€œRWA issuance is no longer theoretical. It’s now a regulatory reality.ā€

VARA defined:

- RWAs are classified as Asset-Referenced Virtual Assets (ARVAs)

- Secondary market trading is permitted under VARA license

- Issuers need capital, audits, and legal disclosures

- Regulated broker-dealers and exchanges can now onboard and trade them

This closes the gap that killed STOs in 2018.

No more tokenization without venues.
No more assets without liquidity.

UAE is doing what Switzerland, Singapore, and Europe still haven’t:

Creating enforceable frameworks for RWA tokenization that actually work.

Matthew White, CEO of VARA, said it perfectly:

ā€œTokenization will redefine global finance in 2025.ā€

He’s not exaggerating.

$500B+ market predicted next year.

And the UAE just gave it legal rails.

~Real estate.
~Private credit.
~Shariah-compliant products.

Everything is in play.

This is how you turn hype into infrastructure.

What Dubai is doing now is 3 years ahead of everyone else.

Founders, investors, ecosystem builders:

You want to build real-world assets onchain.

Don’t waste another year waiting for clarity.

Come to Dubai.

It’s already here.
