Players will also **own assets** to trade or stake for on-chain earnings, and participate in a variety of **games**, events and easter eggs to **monetize** their experience using METAL - the platform's utility token on the Ethereum blockchain. {% embed url="" %} **.. is a revolution..** The current metaverse market offers a poor visual experience with a clear focus on functionality, at the expense of graphics. While digital artists and game makers now have the possibility to create breathtaking real-time content and experiences, the technology hasn’t yet been used and applied to the development of a metaverse. This means Meta Life is the opportunity to build on the **technology of the future**, and stand as pioneers. Meta Life is also a global **open metaverse** for players by players, creating an experience for every type of player to enjoy and making sure there's **something in it for everyone**. Socializers, gamers, explorers, investors.. Meta Life will cover them all. {% embed url="" %} **.. disrupting the market..** We are on a mission to disrupt the current metaverse offer by bringing this **new technology to life** and giving players the opportunity to live a **visual**, **social** and **challenging** experience like no other. Meta Life aims to compete with industry-leading video game studios that offer stunning visual content by bringing the technology into the metaverse ecosystem. Doing so, Meta Life not only disrupts an existing market but also accelerates the adoption of The ‘Metaverse’ by creating **the bridge** between a mass-market like gaming and the niche-market of metaverses.
**.. with a clear mission.** We will do this by creating the most mind-blowing virtual world people have ever seen, in which they will be able to discover **jaw-dropping** futuristic cities, **mysterious** species of creatures and **resourceful** lands to play in and with. With Meta Life we also aim to give **control to the players** with a community-driven economy in which they can **trade**, **lend** or **stake** NFTs - weapons, armors, pets, vehicles and residences - on a marketplace in exchange for METAL, that they can in turn **swap for ETH** anytime.
