According to Foresight News, Snow Crash author Neal Stephenson has teamed up with Lamina1, a blockchain platform he co-founded, and Wētā Workshop, the special effects company behind films like The Lord of the Rings and Avatar, to launch the metaverse project Artefact.
The new project aims to develop intellectual property (IP) for the blockchain-powered metaverse. The platform also plans to include features such as digital item ownership, exploration mechanisms, co-creation opportunities, and AI-driven tool integrations.
