A future that is
It's time. We must build the open metaverse.
Welcome to the OM Pub. Whether you are a newbie or a maxi, you are welcome here.
We need a digital existence that runs on publicly accessible protocols, not corporate servers. Explore with us the pathways to building the open metaverse.
What does it mean for the metaverse to be open? At a minimum, it means upholding the values of equitable access, data ownership, digital rights, and the freedom to transact.
This site is dedicated to teaching these values, community experiments in decentralization, and sharing a vision of the future that is open to all.
Equitable Access
The open metaverse requires equitable access.
We must ensure that the metaverse is available to all individuals, without permissioned choke points or centralized databases of control.
This pillar advocates for the adoption of open protocols that promote universal inclusivity and interoperability.
Equitable access empowers individuals, and makes the benefits transparent, fair, and open to everyone.
Data Ownership
Personal ownership of data defines the essence of the open metaverse.
Individuals control their data, including the ability to determine who can access it, how it is used, and when it's deleted.
With complete data ownership you can make wise choices regarding your personal information, benefit from its value, and ensure your privacy is protected.
Digital Rights
Digital rights are human rights. The open metaverse must respect and protect these rights.
Individual rights extend into the digital realm, thus safeguarding dignity, privacy, and freedom of expression.
The open metaverse supports and advocates for the adoption of digital rights frameworks like the Global Digital Rights Charter, as they can guide navigation through the metaverse while protecting user rights and endorsing a digital environment that respects and upholds human values.
Freedom to Transact
The open metaverse is build on a foundation of freedom to transact.
The goal: free users from unnecessary permissions or intermediaries that could hinder innovation and economic growth.
By operating well-grounded in decentralized transactions, the open metaverse aims to leverage innovation and stimulate economic empowerment.
The full potential of the open metaverse becomes realized through embracing permissionless and direct transactions... the freedom to transact.
