Elmas Land - XR Metaverse Convo

AMA Session Overview

The discussion covers the Illust platform which enables creators to build augmented reality experiences and link them to NFT rewards. Illust allows creators to set up 'pops' or AR content at specific real-world locations. When users visit these locations and scan a code or click a button in the Illust app, they receive a unique NFT as a proof of presence. We aim to be a decentralized metaverse-as-a-service, giving creators tools for ticketing, marketplaces, minting, etc. We utilize Polygon currently for low gas fees but aim to be as multi-chain as possible.

We partner with Magic Labs for easy wallet creation so crypto newcomers can participate. Use cases span art galleries, museums, cities, events, loyalty programs, games, and more. We envision Illust becoming a platform for local histories and public art. Games could be built where completing real-life challenges progresses you and earns rewards. Monetization is still being figured out, but we plan to charge creators for more immersive experiences or take a commission on NFT sales through their platform. The goal is to be as decentralized as possible, potentially moving toward a DAO model for content moderation.
