## (2) Project description

What are you building and why?
Gamestate is building an open metaverse world, the "Ready Player One”* metaverse of the future.

*Reference to the movie Ready Player One, 2018, directed by Steven Spielberg.

In the movie, the OASIS (metaverse players are existing in) represents the ideal world. In "Ready Player One", nobody wants to focus on reality because the OASIS is so perfect. However, the world like OASIS never can be made in the real world.

Gamestate aims at building a world born from a federated alliance of metaverse businesses, projects, games, social communities and dapps.

We are developers with a business mindset. We architect, build, and co-design with the communities the open metaverse world of the future where everyone can operate freely.

**What category is your project?**
Metaverse

DeFi
Web3 Game
NFT
Infrastructure
Marketing

**How will this make positive impacts for Klaytn Ecosystem?**
We aim to build an open-world metaverse that is network agnostic, focused solely on building a platform where players can meet, explore, trade create and learn. A world where communities can thrive and build their own virtual hub.

We will give to each community of Klaytn a place they call "home", a HQ where projects and their communities can interact, build, and more importantly enjoy themselves.

Imagine a metaverse per community within Klaytn but nevertheless interconnected to a one metaverse economy, which we call "Megaverse".

One metaverse-layer as a virtual and immersive world, built by, and focused on communities. We give the people the power to create, do commerce, and even flourish with a new unlimited world.

**What makes you different from your competitors?**
Compared to the major competitors as The SandBox, and Decentraland, we are onboarding whole communities as such, and providing a place they call "home", and what they would call HQ. No matter where they go, we give them a place to come back, and spent some quality time with their peers.

Compared to specialized metaverses out there, we focus on community and people. We are building an economy, a virtual country, or better say, a virtual world. Empires come and go, but it's its people that makes a Nation. People are the foundation to what we call culture or even economies.

**How will you measure project success?**
An example can be number of active users, total TVL, steady cash flow, Klaytn infrastructure improvement

**We will measure success in:**
- Number of commununities we onboard and build a bespoke metaverse for
- Number of events organized per year
- Number of transactions on our platform
- Number of views and clicks on ads

**Is your project open-source? Which components of the project will be open source?**
We will leverage our stack using SDKs.

Any developer will be able to develop their custom metaverse, or any digital asset for that matter using the SDK we will provide to them.

**Please include any helpful materials such as roadmap, video demonstration, pitch deck etc.**
