Tiger Talisman Connected to the Metaverse

When the hot spots in the crypto circle shifted from DeFi to NFT and GameFi, the news that Facebook changed its name to Meta brought more direct stimulation. The concept of "Metaverse" once again baptized the crypto world and prompted practitioners to follow up.

Among the many public chains, Huobi Smart Chain HSC has emerged. As DeFi becomes increasingly homogeneous and static, HSC decides to go All In on the Metaverse.

A hierarchical plan has emerged. HSC announced that its chain will be divided into four stages: visualization, three-dimensional, interactive and metaverse. The on-chain world will gradually change from a flat view to a 3D stereoscopic presentation. After strengthening the interactive elements of SocialFi, it will be combined with VR and wearable devices to enhance the sensory immersion experience.

Currently, the HSC on-chain ecosystem has started the upgrade experiment. PuddingSwap, the leading DEX application on the chain, took the lead in creating a visual and three-dimensional NFT game play in early November and launched the "Pudding Food Empire Plan". At the same time, HSC is also urging other developers on the chain to submit the metaverse form of Level 1-10 projects and formulate a roadmap with the "metaverse" as the end point.

This journey to the Metaverse will not stop at the public chain end. The ecological capital "Young Tiger Fund" behind HSC was launched recently, intending to invest in and support the development of projects such as the Metaverse and GameFi. On the one hand, it provides resources for new projects for the asset side of the Hoo trading platform, and on the other hand, it provides users with early gold-digging opportunities, while also laying a diversified economic value system for the Metaverse world of HSC.

Through joint layout on the public chain side, capital side and asset side, the Hufu ecosystem is incubating the prototype of the "Metaverse" world.

HSC goes all in on the Metaverse

Hot topics in the crypto world are constantly changing. In just over a year, the natives on the chain have experienced the trend change from DeFi to NFT and then to GameFi. With the Internet giant Facebook changing its name to Meta, the concept of the metaverse has become completely popular. This new hot word with natural "ecological" attributes has enough space to carry DeFi, NFT, GameFi, SocialFi and other crypto formats to take root here.

At the same time, the public chains in the market are ushering in an era of flourishing. Blockchain networks such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and Solana are constantly expanding their ecosystems, forming a diverse and complex on-chain world. Under the "metaverse" trend, some public chains, like Facebook, have decisively and quickly transformed and directly bet on this new trend.

On November 18, Hoo Smart Chain HSC announced a new journey. In the future, the development of the public chain will be fully vertical to the Metaverse ecosystem. This is a bold transition for the HSC chain, and it has begun to find a unique development path from the competition among the public chain army.

In fact, since HSC was officially launched in early May, it has been facing homogeneous competition with public chains such as Ethereum and BSC. In such a red ocean, it is not easy for the latecomer HSC to stand out. While groping forward, the HSC developer community has seen that the current DeFi world is becoming more and more homogeneous and static. DeFi seems to have entered a stage bottleneck, the speed of emerging innovative applications has slowed down, and the vitality of the ecosystem has also declined.

On the other hand, NFT and GameFi are becoming a trend. It can be said that this is another opportunity for public chains, and HSC decided to seize it.

According to the plan, HSC will iterate the underlying technology, realize multi-chain interconnection, open up asset flow and data between multiple chains, and try to create a three-dimensional public chain system in combination with the characteristics of the metaverse. To directly hit the metaverse, HSC has formulated a phased development plan.

The head of the HSC community revealed that the public chain will execute four stages in sequence to gradually upgrade to a three-dimensional metaverse form. In summary, it is the "four transformations", namely visualization, three-dimensionalization, interactivity and metaverse.

The above person in charge further explained that visualization means that all on-chain data will be displayed visually. At this stage, on-chain interactive data can be intuitively felt by users, such as the total consumption of Gas Fee and input-output. Users can participate in the construction of personal ecology in the on-chain metaverse interface, design their own "city", and automatically rank according to prosperity; ecological projects will have growth models, and the ecological cycle will experience growth, prosperity, precipitation or withering, etc. In addition, "land resources, public buildings, transportation systems, urban construction, indigenous plans" in the HSC metaverse world will be visualized.

Three-dimensionalization is the process of the HSC chain ecology moving from a flat form to a 3D one. By then, HSC will realize the life of DeFi protocols and NFT applications, that is, to present the protocols on the chain through the life scenes of the natives. "For example, learning and education, public resources, entertainment games, consumer shopping, finance, work, media and the Internet can all be presented in three dimensions through different protocols. Compared with the Internet world, the natives on the chain will live in a virtual 3D metaverse world."

Interaction mainly revolves around SocialFi, a track that has just started to gain popularity. Based on a three-dimensional foundation, SocialFi's ecosystem focuses more on the connection between people and people, people and things, and creates a social Web3.0.

After completing the three-stage iteration, HSC will enter the metaverse world. At that time, it will combine innovative technologies such as VR and wearable devices to take users into the immersive and interactive on-chain metaverse world, and is committed to allowing the natives of the metaverse to experience the same feeling as the real world in terms of vision, hearing, and touch.

On-chain application upgrade experiment started

The metaverse world envisioned by HSC is exciting, but achieving this grand goal obviously requires long-term exploration and deployment, including the prosperity of on-chain metaverse applications, and the intercommunication and interaction between on-chain applications and off-chain Internet technologies and real users.

In order to speed up the progress of HSC's access to the Metaverse, the head of the HSC community revealed that it has currently proposed a "Growth Plan for Everything" for various high-quality project parties, and all on-chain projects must be upgraded and iterated in line with the development model of the HSC Metaverse public chain.

According to reports, the "All Things Growth Plan" requires project parties to submit the Metaverse form of the 1.0 version of the project. In addition, it also requires developers to explore the embedding of Level 1-10, the front end of the building interface and the DAPP entrance, and to add the output system of advanced buildings in the Metaverse ecology to the economic model, and to formulate a roadmap with the Metaverse as the end point. HSC also puts forward corresponding requirements for the popularity and community activity of the on-chain application, and will provide technical support for the developer's visual bill, while building a reward system.

Take PuddingSwap, the largest DEX on the HSC chain, as an example. The application has taken the lead in trying product upgrades. In early November, PuddingSwap combined with GameFi to create a visual and three-dimensional NFT game play and launched the "Pudding Food Empire Plan".

Simply put, after users purchase blind boxes in the early stage, they can randomly open animal chef NFTs of different rarities, and then use the NFT to increase the mining income of the locked pool, or participate in pudding making to earn "rewards". In the pudding making process, there are gameplays such as producing raw material NFTs, using kitchen utensils NFTs, and engaging in cooking battles. It also includes a collaborative mechanism, and different players can make puddings together to generate fission and social interaction.

PuddingSwap, originally a DEX, has begun to upgrade itself to a gaming platform, and this game attracts users to earn income. To some extent, users are "chefs" in the game, and outside the game, this "chef" is actually a virtual profession that can earn income for users. By extension, virtual professions are likely to become a job for the natives of the Metaverse in the future.

The gameplay of the "Pudding Food Empire Plan" is a joint exploration of the first-generation metaverse by HSC and PuddingSwap, and it is also an experiment in the evolution of DeFi protocols into GameFi and the metaverse.

Huobi establishes new capital to inject diversified value into the "Metaverse"

Just like BSC is backed by the Binance ecosystem, HSC is also supported by the Hoo ecosystem. Embracing the Metaverse is not limited to the HSC chain. Judging from recent actions, the Hoo ecosystem is also investing heavily in hot areas such as the Metaverse.

On November 25, Hoo Group announced the establishment of a new fund brand "Hoo Cub Fund". It was revealed that the fund will focus on early-stage projects in the global blockchain field that have technological innovation and model innovation and can continuously create value for users.

In terms of details, the current investment targets of Tiger Fund are rich, covering almost all important fields of the crypto industry. Its investment directions include infrastructure projects, such as Layer2 - blockchain networks that solve technical performance, improve throughput efficiency and scalability issues; also include ecological projects, such as Polkadot ecology, Solana ecology, HSC ecology; and innovative projects in popular tracks, such as GameFi, NFT, Metaverse, and tool products, covering wallets, data platforms, privacy protection, etc.

According to information on the official website, as of now, Young Tiger Fund has invested in more than 20 projects including MetaverseX, Legend Fantasy War, Soldex, Pixelverse, ClearDao, etc. The highest return of the projects that have not been fully exited is 44.4 times, and the overall return is 12 times.

According to relevant persons in charge of Hufu, Young Tiger Fund provides technical and other support to innovative project parties through capital support, establishes connections with projects in different countries and regions around the world, indirectly reaches project users, continues to pave the way for global layout, and at the same time expands the coverage of its Metaverse ecosystem.

In addition, Huobi also has a dedicated crypto asset trading application. In terms of the selection of assets on the site, it has also begun to focus on exploring potential projects in the fields of GameFi and the Metaverse. It has recently launched potential projects such as Decentraland (MANA) and RadioCaca (RACA) to enhance the circulation of assets in the Metaverse sector, and it is very likely that these projects will be introduced into the Metaverse ecosystem of HSC.

In the current time and space, people are full of curiosity and longing for the envisioned metaverse. Tiger Token, through joint layout on the public chain side, capital side and asset side, depicts the prototype of the metaverse world.

At present, the metaverse is still in a stage where the concept is hot but the foundation is insufficient and the boundaries are unclear. But for emerging fields, explorers always enter practice earlier than definers to accelerate the implementation of concepts, which may lead to success or failure. Obviously, Hufu chose to become one of the explorers and join the army of practitioners to find out.

What does the metaverse look like in your eyes?
