The popularity of the metaverse came much faster than expected, and even when the giants were still gearing up, the market had already reacted violently. Perhaps it is already difficult for us to find out whether it is the metaverse that hypes the technology of the blockchain, or the blockchain hypes the metaverse. After all, some prototypes of the metaverse have appeared in the blockchain, but countless facts have emerged again. It proves that it is not an exaggeration to describe the connection between the two as inextricably linked.
Blockchain Provides Identity for the Metaverse
When it comes to the most basic guarantee of the metaverse, we can imagine such a scenario. If we have two "I"s in the metaverse, what kind of feeling should we feel, just like being easily copied in the Internet world? ), it is difficult to distinguish who is a copy of the same document, and such problems must not exist in the Metaverse, which is also a function that is difficult for the Internet to achieve at this stage. However, blockchain can do it.
Anti-tampering and traceability make the blockchain inherently have the characteristics of "anti-copying", which is why theBitcoinnetwork, which has been born for more than 10 years, has never been hacked.
Only by ensuring the unique identity in the metaverse, can we truly swim in the metaverse without worrying about our value being plagiarized. This is the drawback of the Internet, but because of the support of blockchain technology, the world in the metaverse will A significant change has taken place. It can be said that only with this basic guarantee can the Metaverse truly develop.
Blockchain Brings Decentralized Support to the Metaverse
1. Data decentralization
Since the information age, the transmission speed of information has become faster and faster. While we enjoy the convenience brought by technology, the possibility of our own privacy exposure has become higher and higher invisible.
These leaked personal data are often misused, ranging from harassing our daily life to affecting our property safety and life safety. Such problems will also be more obvious in the Metaverse, because the Metaverse will involve many digital assets. If our personal data is used to authenticate some platforms, then criminals are likely to steal our digital assets. Therefore, how to ensure the security of our data in the metaverse is very important.
The blockchain is called the Internet of Value, because it can guarantee that the data on it will not be tampered with, cannot be forged, and the transmission of data can be traced, so it can transmit value and rights. If our precious personal data is decentralized through blockchain technology, this can realize that our data is owned by us personally, and no one can tamper with it, nor can it be disposed of at will.
2. Decentralization of storage, computing, and network transmission
If we are in a metaverse, we definitely don't want this to happen to us. And this requires establishing the Metaverse on a server that is not controlled by a centralized entity, but all data in the Metaverse can be stored, calculated and transmitted over the network in a decentralized manner.
The decentralized technology of the blockchain, combined with some emerging distributed storage, computing and network transmission technologies, can build the decentralized network infrastructure expected by the metaverse, so that our data and assets in the metaverse can be It belongs to us personally, and there will no longer be a situation where the metaverse we live in is dominated and destroyed by others at will.
3. Rules are open and transparent
One of the characteristics of the metaverse is that it is very similar to the operating rules of the real world, and it will have a very strong sense of real immersion. Then the most scenes we encounter in reality are rules. Specifically, all our actions are in the Within the protection and constraints of the law, to ensure our normal life. However, the existing legal framework is also difficult to avoid some centralized evil situations, such as black-box operations, secretly modifying rules, and so on. These problems will also occur in the network-based metaverse. Fortunately, there is blockchain technology in the network that can solve this problem. "Code is Law", which means code is law, is a distinctive feature of blockchain that has always been talked about.
Because the blockchain is decentralized and open and transparent, the rules can be written in code in advance through smart contracts, so as to ensure that the code is not a part of black-box operations, and that no one can tamper with the rules.
In this way, various behaviors in the metaverse can be fair, just, safe and reliable under the protection of the blockchain. The metaverse will also become more legal and harmonious, and the blockchain is an important technical basis for ensuring the social environment in the metaverse.
4.Asset digitization
In addition, the digitization of assets is also a topic that the Metaverse cannot avoid. Assets in the Metaverse are recorded on the blockchain, which can complete instant interactions while ensuring security.
As a replica of all production and lifestyles in the physical world, the metaverse needs a safe, traceable and transparent payment method, and this can fundamentally guarantee the freedom of users.
As a non-tamperable decentralized ledger, the blockchain can meet the requirements of metaverse asset digitization. From the underlying logic, it has advantages that other technologies cannot match in terms of instant transactions and credibility.
On the whole, the blockchain has now entered a relatively stable stage of development, and it has also attracted the attention of global technology practitioners. As a master of technology, the Metaverse cannot do without the blessing of the blockchain. Therefore, we need both Paying attention to the development of the metaverse also needs to pay attention to the progress of its important underlying technology blockchain, and the effective integration of the two will bring new business innovations.
Of course, the future development of the Metaverse will inevitably meet the blockchain. The blockchain will bring subversive changes to the Metaverse and influence the current form of the Internet.
As for the degree of decentralization of the metaverse in the future, and the degree of security and efficiency, this must be inseparable from the development of the blockchain.
