The Metaverse or Metaverses? Why We Need Interoperability
summary
Panel argues metaverse is early, fragmented and needs concrete standards: land contracts differ across projects, NFT-world peak users are below conference attendance and some platforms show ~1500 concurrent users, not millions. They describe work on a bridge called the M squared network to link metaverses (example: OtherSide / board apes), stress two interoperability types — technical and semantic — cite massive live events (tens of thousands in one space) as the killer use case, and warn about value collapse if land projects aren’t maintained.
