Netvrk
Netvrk is a multichain metaverse with tools enabling users to monetize their creations via NFT s and Virtual Land. Built on the Unreal Engine, Netvrk aims to become the next evolution of the internet by offering the world a way to consume and create immersive experiences while monetizing and sharing content that will result in an ever-expanding virtual metaverse.
The Netvrk ecosystem is powered by NTVRK, the native utility token, which can be used to purchase assets within the Virtual Reality World.
In October 2021, Netvrk made over $17 million in less than two months in the sale of a Virtual Land NFT and Transport NFT sales. Both NFT sales took place over several launchpads and venues, including ChainBoost, Ferrum, Poolz, Trustpad, NFTPad, CyberFi / Samurai, BlindBoxes, PolyLauncher, Bondly Finance, Mantra DAO, OxBull, Spores, NFTrade and more.[1][2][3]
Overview
The project was developed by Xmod, a VR simulation studio producing complex simulation for a variety of industries: tech companies, architects, real estate agencies, and more.
Netvrk is a social platform with powerful creation tools and infrastructure, which allows users to easily create, share, experience, and monetize VR with a focus on gaming, education and virtual workplaces built around ownership of virtual land and assets. Netvrk has been in development since 2016, starting with a prototype of VR goggles developed by the founder and CEO Michael Katseli.[4]
Netvrk allows users to create, share, and monetize their creations using an intuitive in game editor, negating the need for any coding skills or special knowledge. Users can buy, sell, and trade land, which is held via Non-Fungible Token (NFT). These Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) can be transacted in game or using a third party site such as OpenSea. Besides being able to rent, lease, or sell land, land owners can choose to modify the terrain and build structures using the in game toolset. Users can then host a social scene, a company meeting, or an interactive demonstration.[5]
Tech
Netcrk partners with Polygon (formerly Matic Network) by utilizing it’s side chain solution,to keep user’s transaction fast and secure.
Polygon utilizes a technology called Plasma, which allows it to process transactions off-chain, before finalizing them on the Ethereum main chain. With Plasma Chains, POS Chain, ZK-rollups, and Optimistic rollups, Polygon has a suite of tools that allows it to overcome the built in limitations of Ethereum.[6]
Netvrk VWGen Technology
This technology is capable of generating an unlimited number of unique, fully interactive VR worlds. The ease of creating new worlds as soon as new users join the platform will assist with the addition of diverse content to Netvrk.
User-generated content will be reviewed first, and only then will it be integrated into the database. The platform will use this system to highlight specific users and content within the database for further use and monetization.
The VWGen editor allows everyone to get involved with VR, providing tools and functions to create VR applications quickly and efficiently within a sandbox environment. The fact that users can create VR applications without prior programming or design experience opens the platform to a wide and diverse group of people and businesses who wish to become part of the community and enter the business of VR application development.[1]
Features
Easy to Use/Navigate
Users who wish to participate in Netvrk with a VR device can freely navigate the different regions of the Netvrk universe using their own spaceship, on foot, or via ground and/ or air vehicles. They can also simply select where they want to go by accessing the main menu. All Netvrk content will be available on the marketplace in categories like “TOP”, “NEW” etc.
Smart Ownership and Using Smart Contract
All platforms available in the Netvrk Marketplace or uploaded by creators are presented with the NFT ERC-721 token standard. This means that they contain the owner’s information within their metadata, therefore providing proof-of-ownership. Additionally, users are able to select the kind of ownership they want. The types of ownership include full ownership, partial ownership, and type of license.
Netvrk smart contracts will be exceptionally convenient, allowing users to create and rewrite license agreements with all the required features within a user-friendly interface.y

Netvrk will provide a 3D scanning mobile app that will allow any user to convert a real product or prop into a 3D model and automatically upload it onto NetVRk.
Adding Content
Users can upload assets they have created using third-party applications, and integrate them into Netvrk by following the platform's compatibility requirements in terms of file extensions, settings, and software setups.
Music, Videos and other Art Medium

P2P Payments
This feature help users desiring to exchange property with each other, to do so directly using their Netvrk wallets. To conduct these types of transactions, both the seller and buyer will be using Netvrk’s user-friendly smart-contract interface, which allows them to access each side of their inventory to choose the item/s they want to exchange, enter the buyer ID, and set the price.[3][4][7]
NTVRK Token
NTVRK is Netvrk’s native utility token for the platform based on the Ethereum Network (ERC20). Users who utilize the Netvrk platform can use the token for many in-game transactions. Also, they have option to receive payments in any form of digital currency. However, transactions that utilize NTVRK will receive significantly lower fees than transactions using other cryptocurrencies.The token has a maximum supply of 100,000,000 NTVRK coins with about 41,079,834.11 NTVRK already in supply.

Netvrk Virtual Land
Virtual Land in Netvrk offers users the opportunity to own a digital asset, free of interference. Virtual Land will be a limited, scarce asset, that can be traded in the Netvrk Marketplace, as well as third party marketplaces such as OpenSea.
User will also have the ability to “give away” or list for rent or sell their land and monetize it. This includes part ownership so they can enjoy the revenue from renting.
Users can sell their virtual real estate by giving full or partial rights of ownership to the buyer, or even temporarily leasing their land in exchange for revenue-sharing. The land a user can own is not limited to a single lot, but could be a whole section in a city, a whole continent, or even the whole universe.
Land enables users to have a virtual presence in the Netvrk Metaverse. Virtual Land is the basis of users building and deploying assets, and NFTs, created and imported via the Netvrk Sandbox Editor.
Land will be limited to a set number of parcels consisting of Standard, Medium, Large, Giant, and Epic. For the Land Presale, only Standard, Medium, and Large will be available to purchase.[1][5]
Virtual Land Uses
1. For Personal Use: Users buy virtual land for personal use. They spend time by themselves or host their friends. If they wish, they can also design with original, free, or paid content from the marketplace.
