REALM, a mobile-based social impact “metaverse factory”, is set to release its first mobile app beta on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Set to be released on June 21, or REALM day, the app will allow users to play games, build galleries, and follow quests to win rewards. Additionally, users can create their own ‘microverses’ to experience the REALM metaverse fully.
The launch of the mobile app will coincide with the NFT.NYC conference. Visitors to the conference will be able to join the launch party, which will include an exclusive preview of a new kind of gaming experience, created in partnership with visionary artist Oseanworld. The exhibition will be open 2 PM - 8:30 PM on June 21-22, at 251 Elizabeth Street, NYC. The launch party allows attendees to join a scavanger hunt in which they can win tokens and prizes from the physical clothing and accessory collections created by Oseanworld.
For those who can’t attend the NFT.NYC conference, the beta app will be available for them, allowing them to start experiencing the unique features that REALM offers. Speaking on the upcoming beta mobile app launch, Matt Larby, Founder and CEO of REALM said,
“We really can’t wait to show the world what we cooked up with REALM. The beta launch is going to be awesome for anyone who can attend NFT.NYC. For everyone else, the app will be live to experiment with and build your own microverse. We want everyone, from regular folks to big brands to build up their own little experience in REALM.”
As mentioned, the mobile app will include multiple metaverse worlds (REALMS) including games, galleries, and quests. Notwithstanding, the platform also offers simple and free developer tools that allow anyone to create a custom “microverse” without any prior developer or coding knowledge. The mobile app will also include an NFT marketplace that allows users to collect in-game items and trade them with both crypto and regular payment methods.
Any Android and iOS smartphone user can download the app and access all the user-generated realms. With the app, game developers have an immersive selection of features to add to their games including unique Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality experiences. The in-game tools to create quests or ticket-gated events with live audio, 3D sound, vibrations, flying and many more tools to create a unique community experience.
The REALM metaverse land parcels
Apart from the gaming development features, the REALM mobile app will also allow users to purchase land parcels in the main REALM metaverse, with 9488 plots up for grabs. The REALM land parcels are organized in 4 concentric areas, whereby the interior area has the highest traffic and the value of the plots is more expensive than the adjacent external areas.
To purchase the land parcels, users will require the REALM token, which is available on secondary markets. The token also offers wide utility in the REALM metaverse to the holders including access to premium content and obtaining rewards from the project’s revenue (up to 33% of all proceeds). An additional third of the proceeds are reserved for sustainability initiatives.
Finally, the REAL project has partnered with other projects such as Plasticbank, Eden Reforestation Projects and Brokoli, to ensure the REALM metaverse supports the real environmental causes. Players on REALM will be able to transform their digital nature into a physical form. Each tree or coral reef used for decoration in the REALM metaverse will mean one more real tree planted, or one more coral reef preserved.
