5 Ways the Metaverse Is Imitating and Improving Reality

Press Release • March 30, 2022

In late 2021, Coinbase and Adidas partnered as the latter planned to join the Metaverse. Adidas purchased a piece of land in the Metaverse. It was not already clear what Adidas wanted to sell. However, Adidas wished to explore the benefits connected to the Metaverse.



Adidas is just one of the many non-crypto companies to join the Metaverse. Other companies like Nvidia, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon expressed similar interests before. The companies’ interest and adoption is proof that the Metaverse is already influencing reality.


But, it’s true to say that the metaverse is imitating and improving reality. But how? This guide explores five real-life activities that the Metaverse is already replicating and improving.


Virtual Concerts and Events

Between early 2020 and 2021, the relevance of virtual concerts became very clear. When lockdowns were imposed in many countries, artists had to find ways to make a living. DJs, Musicians, comedians, and dancers turned to stream sites like youtube and Twitch. Using live-streaming sites, artists entertained their fans. However, one thing lacked in the concerts, a sense of reality. Now came virtual metaverse concerts.

Introducing virtual concerts in the Metaverse is undoubtedly one way to imitate and improve reality. Today, some upcoming and old metaverse projects offer virtual concert options. In normal concerts, celebrities would perform while a large crowd of fans is around them. The noise, hype, and dance all made concerts a fun interaction.


In the Metaverse, virtual concerts have a sense of reality. Since they use VR and other advanced technologies, you can feel the human touch. In fact, in virtual metaverse concerts, the fans can sense their environment. In such virtual shows, artists can make more income while entertaining fans.


Virtual Blockchain Gaming

The gaming world is benefiting from the introduction of the Metaverse. In fact, by now, it’s true to say that the Metaverse revolutionized gaming. Before the Metaverse and blockchain, gamers were playing for fun. Many pro-gamers used streaming sites to interact live with others while gaming. On such stream sites, fans can donate funds.


But, blockchain and the Metaverse introduced something better. Metaverse games are each situated in their worlds. Gamers can create avatars of themselves in the Metaverse to improve the gaming experience. Technically, a gamer with AR, VR, and required IOT devices can feel the real environment in the game.

In the Metaverse, gamers collect in-game assets in the form of NFTs. Of course, NFTs are tradable in the marketplaces. Moreover, in gaming, the players receive rewards based on their wins. These rewards come in the form of collectibles or even tokens. Gamers can exchange all those rewards for fiat. Hence, the Metaverse is revolutionizing gaming and gambling by offering incomes.


Virtual Casinos and Bars

During the pandemic period, people couldn’t meet and enjoy a drink in most of the world. Gamblers would stay home and use some online gambling sites.


But the Metaverse has been revolutionizing such places of fans as bars and casinos. Think about virtual Casinos. Las Vegas is the most popular Casino city. Most people globally would want to visit Vegas for the casinos. However, not everyone can get to Vegas.


The Metaverse makes it possible to experience Vegas without being in Vegas. Some platforms offer gambling options on the Metaverse with the Vegas experience. Virtual casinos on the Metaverse have already generated millions in the past. Hence, gamblers worldwide can get a taste of Vegas using the Metaverse.


The Metaverse also brought the idea of virtual metaverse bars and clubs. People can order beer, sit down and enjoy interactions online. The main downside is that you do not magically get beer on your hands after ordering. But, you get to enjoy virtual interactions.


Virtual Education

It’s a general consensus that the education industry needs fast changes to accommodate everyone. Stakeholders in the education sector have been trying to create tech to streamline learning. Metaverse is one of the technologies explored for revolutionizing education.


Unlike many industries, education is hard to imitate using the Metaverse. Education involves much more than teaching. It involves modeling young minds for the future. Platforms like zoom can give options for remote studies. But, education requires top-class human interaction between the instructors and students.

However, the Metaverse can help streamline remote studies for every student. Metaverse AR and VR tools can make online studies feel more human. Metaverse can accommodate people with visual, hearing, and other impairments. By combining technologies, the Metaverse will streamline learning for everyone.


Virtual Companies and Businesses

Companies and businesses can benefit from the Metaverse. During the pandemic lockdown periods, companies had to invent new ways of working. Many companies switched to Zoom and other video conferencing tools for meetings. People chose to work from home. Some companies send work to their employees online.


Metaverse virtual reality networks can help offer HD video conferencing tools. In most cases, these video tools can interact with VR headsets to make things more real. It’s easier to achieve team-building objectives with the Metaverse than with video conferencing apps. The Metaverse offers a real sense of human touch, thus strengthening human interactions.


Pax.world, a new metaverse project, offers similar advantages to its users. It combines advanced video and audio tech to help you interact. Companies can create headquarters, team-building exercises, and work meetings, all on this Metaverse. Interestingly, because of the services offered, pax.world has also won the AIBC Summit Metaverse of the year award.


Author’s Take

During the 2020–2021 lockdown, the Metaverse gained fast adoption in different sectors. First, it provided an alternative for artists to host virtual concerts and generate funds. Additionally, gamers can now play and earn in the Metaverse.


Virtual casinos and metaverse bars were created to provide an alternative online joint where people can interact, talk, and gamble.


The Metaverse also allows people to start education and working institutions online. Companies and schools can set headquarters, interact, assign jobs and hold meetings within the Metaverse. Using virtual education and businesses, people can work and study remotely. While the Metaverse has not yet fully replaced reality in those sectors, it has duplicated it with slightly better results.

Principal Protocol (PRN) , a new project blending traditional RWA with Defi concepts, has announced an innovative approach to tokenizing real-world assets, including a 100% asset-backed valuation for the projects it offers. The company aims to disrupt the decentralized finance landscape and democratize access to RWA investments. An ongoing private sale for the PRINCIPAL token (PRN) should help fund the project’s expansion and development. Principal Protocol's "Digitized Estates" concept focuses mainly on real estate assets, seeking to eliminate geographical barriers and provide greater liquidity. The project leverages blockchain technology and smart contracts to enable fractional ownership of real estate assets through digital NFT tokens. All PRN projects are tokenized into NFTs and issued to the buyers. The participants then access rewards depending on the RWA asset’s performance and potential returns. Principal Protocol has multiple safety nets in place to protect its RWA projects’ valuations. These safeguards include a bi-annual valuation of each project and a protocol-owned Crypto Reserve of various blue chip coins. This way, buyers can rely on several precautions guarding their participation in a tokenized RWA. PRN will periodically acquire real estate property and structure it into a fixed number of Non-fungible Tokens (NFT). The project will then distribute rewards via automatic airdrops to the NFT holders' wallets every financial quarter. Also, Principal Protocol plans to integrate a DeFi platform, enabling NFT holders to stake their holdings as collateral on Defi platforms and protocols. PRN will place each acquired property project under an SPV company wholly owned by Principal Protocol to ensure actual ownership. Every property will benefit from proper accounting records published quarterly and accessible to the individual project NFT holders via specific channels. Lastly, PRN will distribute individual project net profits as rewards on the blockchain. Principal Protocol believes that its approach rewards participants with perks and benefits that are difficult to find in other projects, such as: Global Accessibility PRN makes participation in global real estate markets available, opening the doors to communities that didn't previously have access to them. Liquidity The project relies on sturdy blockchain for easy token trading, potentially increasing liquidity better than traditional options. Fractional Ownership Principal Protocol lets participants own fractions of high-value properties, reducing the barrier to entry. Transparency PRN's use of smart contracts ensures a transparent distribution of benefits and rewards. Efficiency PRN's seamless blend of RWA and DeFi via blockchain technology creates a secure, decentralized environment. Reduced intermediaries and streamlined processes can lead to cost savings. The PRN Token is the backbone of Principal Protocol and its rapidly growing ecosystem. The team has set a maximum supply of 100,000,000 PRN tokens distributed as follows: Ecosystem - 50,000,000 (50%) Team - 10,000,000 (10%) Advisors - 5,000,000 (5%) Marketing - 5,000,000 (5%) Reserves - 20,000,000 (20%) Private Sales - 10,000,000 (10%) As Principal Protocol scales its platform, it aims to diversify its portfolio, integrate DeFi, and develop a Real Estate Attestation Chain. The latter will enable users globally to double-check the validity and authenticity of title deeds and various real estate documentation on the chain. The project has an ambitious roadmap ahead with several important milestones: Mobile App beta test launch (June 2025) Mobile App launch (July 2025) Defi platform integration (August 2025) Platform scaling (October 2025) Asset class diversification (Jan 2026) Development of Real Estate Attestation Chain (June 2026) Initial Public Offering (Jan 2027) About Principal Protocol (PRN) Principal Protocol aims to bridge DeFi and RWA and democratize access to real estate assets via its Digitized Estates concept. Behind the project is a professional team with solid expertise in relevant industries and areas, including real estate, blockchain, marketing, and entrepreneurship. PRN’s web app beta is currently live at app.prnpl.io .
