Utherverse, an industry-leading metaverse platform that empowers developers to craft interconnected virtual worlds, has declared that it will launch a closed beta of the next generation version of its platform. Delivering hyper-realistic immersive experiences for users and monetization opportunities for companies, the closed beta will offer a sneak peek into the platform’s Web3 capabilities.
Set to launch on September 26, 2023, the closed beta seeks to test and finalize the build-out of Utherverse's next-generation platform. Utherverse states that the closed beta will offer users the chance to claim their usernames and sample the Web3 variant of the platform. It promises an array of entertainment and social options, from outdoor concert arenas and rooftop dance clubs with live DJs to film screenings, live influencer broadcast studios, shopping arenas, art galleries, and more.
Users can anticipate engaging with each other in diverse settings, purchasing and selling virtual goods, and exploring a plethora of e-commerce opportunities. Utherverse VIP legacy users, who already possess their usernames, will receive automatic access to the closed beta. Trunk holders who have already acquired functional NFTs (fNFTs) will then be granted priority access, followed by users who have joined the whitelist available for sign-up on Discord.
The closed beta also signals the commencement of a month-long virtual celebration, featuring entertainment events, shopping, networking, and a spectrum of business-to-consumer and business-to-business experiences. These include a segment of the sixth annual Virtual Con, a purely virtual Web3 trade show replete with exhibitors, speakers, and panel discussions.
Brian Shuster, founder and CEO of Utherverse, commented, “This year marks a milestone for Utherverse as we launch the next-generation of the world's largest metaverse platform. Our hyper-realistic immersive experiences will captivate consumers, while our robust technology backbone will open unprecedented avenues for brands, entertainment providers, and companies across various sectors.”
The announcement follows the first and second pre-sale rounds of the Uther Coin (UTHX) through Nexus Ecosystems as part of the token's initial decentralized offering (IDO). Uther Coin will be the exclusive currency for all metaverses on the Utherverse platform.
Utherverse, launched in 2005, has served over 50 million users, facilitating more than 32 billion virtual commerce transactions. The company's revenue streams include custom metaverse building services, NFT sales, and a host of business verticals encompassing advertising/marketing, shopping/retail, conferences/conventions, education, dating, lifestyle, entertainment events/performances, VIP experiences, and virtual offices.
