Bloktopia is a metaverse that seeks to provide a unique experience to its users by presenting a 21-story building, where they can learn, meet people, do business, and much more.
Unot one of the most recent and interesting projects in the world blockchain attached to the metaverses It's Blocktopia. It presents a curious virtual universe inside a 21-storey building where we can have our own space and interact with the rest of the participants in this blockchain metaverse. For the development of the project, its developers have decided to use the network Polygon and since its launch, it has become one of the metaverses that has captured the most attention in the world.
But what exactly is Bloktopia? What is your real goal? This and more you can find out below...
Origin of Blocktopia
Behind the creation of Bloktopia there are two people who had a great vision to make this metaverse a reality. ross tavakoli (current CEO) and Paddy Carroll (current CMO) were the minds behind the creation of this virtual world in blockchain. Tavakoli has been in the crypto world since 2015, while Carroll is an experienced growth marketer, and it is the potential seen by both that led to joining this company and starting the development of Bloktopia.
In this way they started the project to which they later integrated two new important figures: simon benson, current CTO and well-known virtual reality specialist and one of the fathers of PlayStation VR, and Libby Rothwell (current CIO), a well-known person in the film industry and who has been fundamental in joining efforts in the construction of the project.
As a result, on October 6, 2021, history began to be written, and quickly several companies inveterate in investing in crypto projects (Bitboi, Magnus Capital, AntiFunds, ZBS Capital, Avalanche, Polygon, TKX Capital, SHIMA Capital or GenBlock Capital) started supporting this project.
Bloktopia Objectives
Mainly Bloktopia seeks to bring together the different exponents of the crypto world in one place. In this way, each actor can make available to users information and experiences that help them learn and use cryptocurrencies. With special emphasis on the experience because, being a metaverse, its main objective is to allow users "use these tools" to learn.
In addition, Bloktopia seeks to create new mechanisms for generating content and income for all who make life in this metaverse. For example, each space on Bloktopia is a real estate asset or ad placement that can be freely traded among users of the platform. In this way, active and passive profits can be generated within the metaverse, with the support of the Polygon network.
Of course, Bloktopia doesn't abandon the playful aspect of metaverses either, allowing users to access the project to play games, entertain their friends and create new contacts through an immersive first-person perspective of a virtual reality world. If you add to this the possibility of creating and integrating your own creations, Bloktopia becomes a complete metaverse where the creativity of its users can completely change it.
Bloktopia, a building for everyone
Every user who enters Bloktopia has an avatar, a digital representation of their character in this metaverse. It is this avatar that will allow you to navigate all the space that this metaverse offers. The start of every user is Level 1, the first level in this building where you can review the different spaces found on this level (navigation zone) and travel to other levels so you can navigate through the rest of the stages.
Levels are designed to have a specific spatial configuration. For example, Level 1 has a unique setting and is the entrance to this metaverse. But, Levels 2 to 5 share the same configuration different from the rest of the higher levels.
This configuration ends with Level 21, this last stage is called PENTHOUSE & GAMING. This level is a level designed for users to have fun. In it, users of legal age (+18 years) can also play poker and other games of chance. In addition, some multiplayer games are also offered, and players are allowed to earn BLOK tokens in the various activities available in this level.
On the other hand, in Bloktopia we can also find the Auditorium, located on Level 6 of the building. This auditorium allows us to attend interactive video presentations, talks and any content that you want to present in it within the metaverse. The best? It is that by attending these events you can receive rewards which can further encourage attendance and participation in this place.
How does this metaverse work?
Bloktopia is a metaverse that seeks to unite the best of virtual reality (VR) and blockchain technology (fungible tokens and NFT). The virtual reality of Bloktopia is possible thanks to the use of a powerful 3D VR engine, which allows creating spaces that can be explored by users. However, this technology is still under development at the moment, so only an in-game trailer is shown (in Alpha state) of what we would see in this metaverse once it is finished. Suffice it to say that it is impressive, with a clear cyberpunk trend in its setting, which is why it will surely attract a lot of attention from the gaming community. Another important aspect of this metaverse is that it is heavily built on technologies like Microsoft's Azure.
For its blockchain side, Bloktopia uses the technology of Polygon for its elaborate set of smart contracts, which will allow its users to interact with the different spaces and developments within the metaverse.
For example, your avatar within the metaverse is a unique NFT that will always be in your Web3 wallet (eg Dappradar). Also, you can buy and sell different NFTs to improve your character (such as clothes or other available items), you can buy spaces to rent or places for advertising. In any case, NFTs will be a vital part of this metaverse as they can be purchased, crafted, or included within the game.
Tokens inside Bloktopia
Another important part is the crypto economy within the metaverse. At this point, Bloktopia has three clearly defined types of tokens, namely: the native BLOK token (for rewards and basic economy), the REBLOK token (for all things related to real estate within the metaverse), and ADBLOK (to manage everything related to advertising).

First of all, the BLOK token was launched on October 6, 2021, and it is a token of the type ERC-20 that works on the Polygon network that has a total emission of 200.000.000.000 BLOK. As we already mentioned, this token can be used to buy things within the metaverse. This token can be exchanged for REBLOK tokens to buy or rent real estate, ADBLOK to buy or rent advertising space, and also BLOKG, which in the future could become the token of decentralized governance (DAO) from Bloktopia.
Another important aspect of the tokens within Bloktopia is the ability to use them in different strategies to generate passive income. For example, you can participate in a staking pool for BLOK tokens and thereby receive rewards for your holdings in said pool.
You can also join the JOBEs, which are nothing more than pools that allow you to receive passive rewards in REBLOK tokens according to your participation in the pool, and the generation of the different NFTs listed in each JOBE.
Bloktopia Principles
The Bloktopia white paper also highlights the principles that drive this metaverse:
Learning
GET EDUCATED IN THE WORLD OF CRYPTO
Bloktopia seeks to become a space for dissemination and learning about the crypto world, creating an open and friendly environment, where everyone can learn and share knowledge freely.
Earn money
GENERATE INCOME THROUGH MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME
Bloktopia is a space where everyone will have the opportunity to generate income through mechanisms such as staking, JOBE (to generate income generated by advertising placements), space rental and much more.
To play
RELAX, SOCIALIZE, HAVE FUN AND COMPETE
Users can come and play, entertain friends and network through an immersive first-person perspective within a virtual reality world
Create
PUSH THE LIMITS OF YOUR CREATIVITY
You will be able to create your own scenes, works and different 3D creations represented by NFT with the possibility of adding them to the metaverse, becoming the creative and protagonist of the platform.
Conclusions
Bloktopia is an incipient project, which has been so disruptive that it has begun to capture the attention of the community due to the enormous possibilities of becoming a "crypto unicorn". However, it is clear that it is a project that lacks a lot of work, development and maturity, which in no way detracts from its grandiose proposal: to bring to life a huge blockchain metaverse where we can all participate.
Experiences like Decentraland y The Sandbox They already give us an idea of what this can bring us. And, it is precisely because of these experiences and all the new technology that Bloktopia plans to apply, that this project will undoubtedly become a benchmark in the metaverses that we will see coming in the coming years.
