The Metaverse industry has gained huge popularity in recent years when people are fast-gearing towards digitalization and decentralized technology. In simple words, Metaverse allows users to immerse in an interactive environment where they can connect or indulge in a fashion similar to the real world. It gives a real-like feel but in a digital space. The sector has seen constant support from top-tier firms like Facebook, now Meta. The social media giant changed its name to Meta to further its efforts into the Metaverse field.
The Sandbox and Decentraland are the two popular Ethereum-based open metaverses that have been widely exploited by companies and projects.

The Metaverse sector is growing a rapid pace and the coming years are likely to witness the launch of enhanced tools and services furthering the potential of the industry
