The Metaverse: Five Trends for the Future

The essence of the metaverse is the next-generation Internet, the ultimate form of the Internet. The current consensus is that the metaverse will not appear overnight, nor will the metaverse be built and run by a single company. As the next-generation form of the Internet, it will be supported by many independent tools, shared infrastructure, protocols, etc. The future metaverse will also be integrated with the following five trends.

One is digital economy + real economy. The development of the Metaverse is to realize the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, so as to effectively empower the real economy to upgrade in an all-round way, so that all walks of life can find a new development space for the "second curve".

The second is the digital world + the physical world. The virtual world can be understood as the digital world, and the real world can be understood as the physical world. The Metaverse perfectly integrates the digital world and the physical world, and builds a new space for human beings to work, study, play, and socialize. This will be the main carrier of future lifestyles and a new digital world that everyone will participate in.

The third is digital life + social life. Digital life is a way of life based on the Internet and a series of digital technology applications, which can bring people a better life experience and work convenience conveniently and quickly. Social life refers to the living system of human society.

The fourth is digital identity + real identity. Digital identity is the cornerstone of all digital activities in the metaverse, and everyone will have a digital identity with universality, independence and privacy. Digital identities can open up identity, data, credit and asset systems and gradually integrate with real identities, so as to ensure a better life for users in the metaverse.

The fifth is digital assets + physical assets. The construction and popularization of the metaverse will promote a deeper integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and create new wealth in the digital world.
