Dubai-based Bedu, the UAE’s Metaverse and Web3 technology pioneer, today announced the launch of its Metaverse Project 2117. The virtual world will be created to document and celebrate future milestones and potential breakthroughs that will lead to a better space exploration experience.
The announcement was made at a special event at Dubai’s Museum of the Future. Bedu unveiled the look and feel of its upcoming 2117 Metaverse at the event, including experience areas that showcased the space pods that early virtual world participants will use as housing units. Project 2117 aims to become a 100-million-user metaverse environment in the next ten years by focusing on developing every aspect of the virtual world around the community, user needs, and the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). To deliver high-quality aesthetics, the project will use blockchain and decentralized hosting techniques.
Furthermore, by emphasizing storytelling, user experience, and scientific value, the 2117 Metaverse hopes to increase Daily Active Users (DAU) and adoption rates within web2.0 communities. Furthermore, in the second half of October of this year, Bedu will make citizenships available for purchase, granting full access to this new metaverse experience.
The company also featured the debut of new 2117-themed work by prominent Los Angeles-based NFT artist Ryan Wilson, aka ThankYouX.
Amin Al Zarouni, CEO of the company, and Co-Founder Misha Hanin, as well as Alexis Christodoulou, VP of Creative Design for the 2117 Metaverse Project, spoke. More than 100 people attended, including government officials and partners, as well as Web3 influencers and members of the media.
