What is Bloktopia?
Ever fancied living in a 21-level virtual skyscraper dedicated to Bitcoin? Welcome to Bloktopia, where every floor is a tribute to the 21 million BTC. Yes, you heard that right! Those holding BLOK tokens get to hang out as Bloktopians, living the dream in the digital realm where NFTs, virtual real estate, and even advertising spaces collide.
Why Bloktopia is Built on Polygon
For those scratching their heads, Polygon isn’t just a fancy name for some geometric shape. It’s the Ethereum layer-two scaling solution that’s here to help Bloktopia shine. It speeds things up while bringing down the costs, which is always a win in the fast-paced world of crypto. In the great grand scheme of blockchain, Polygon doesn’t run Bloktopia; it just provides a cushy bed for it to thrive.
Getting Into Bloktopia
So you want to dive into Bloktopia? No special glasses required! Soon enough, you’ll be able to zip around in VR or download an app of sorts. According to co-founder Paddy Carroll, it’s all about making the experience as accessible as your local diner. Currently, they’re busy with constructing levels and planning events, eyeing a beta version rollout to rock the digital space by March 2022. Fingers crossed!
Businesses in the Digital Skyscraper
If you’ve ever thought about how to generate some income in a virtual world, Bloktopia has got you covered. Imagine purchasing digital estates or renting out spaces for brand advertisements. Who knew renting space in a virtual world could be more lucrative than a real estate mogul’s portfolio? With the right strategies, your BLOK tokens could turn into a nice little paycheck!
What About NFTs?
NFTs are not just digital doodads—they’re the currency of the Bloktopia realm. With unique marketplaces in the works, you can trade NFTs like baseball cards, but for the digital-savvy. Carroll mentions that although the NFT market can seem like a bubble ready to pop, NFTs with real utility speak volumes, and Bloktopia plans to pack those utilities in.
Future Prospects
What comes next? According to Carroll, while they are focused on powering through the initial levels, they’re keeping their architectural possibilities wide open for future developments. Will there be more towers? Who knows! Whatever happens, the Metaverse doors are wide open, and unlike traffic on a Monday, there are no restrictions.
