Project overview

Vision

COSMIZE aims to create an environment where people can express themselves in virtual space without any restrictions.

In the future, people will be able to live their lives in COSMIZE, connect with other people and join or build their own community so people will have experience as if they were living in a second real world.

Also, since this is an Astar native metaverse project, we intend to work on the project in unison with Astar.
We also see it as part of our mission to bring a better networking effect to the Astar community by collaborating with other projects.

Concept

COSMIZE is a world that describes a decentralized-utopian future state.
Where humans coexist with super-sophisticated technology and they manage their world based on mutually constructive consensus agreements.

Our world is divided into 3 main worlds.
Floating world, Under-water world and Ground world.

1: Floating world: Special space, Event hall
It has a capacity of 50~100 people, where people from the Astar community can gather and chat.
It is also envisioned as a place where events such as AMAs and presentations can be held.
We are also planning to organize limited events that only limited NFT holders can enter.

2: Under water world : Special space, Event hall (TBD)
The specific plan for this space has not yet been decided, but we are planning to create a public space similar to the floating world.
Similarly, we plan to organize events that are limited to only those who have the limited NFT.

3: Ground world : Normal city, Own Room
Ground world may be the most common and most carefree world.
People are assumed to have rooms here, and they can customize their rooms and place NFTs in their rooms.
They can also invite friends over for tea time. lol!

Positive Effects of the Metaverse Project on Astar

We guess that Astar ecosystem is thinking that how to get users from outside the Astar ecosystem.

This project will be able to help bring in from the outside.

Why

  • Since DeFi and GameFi(like) have a different user base, we believe that by supporting and growing this project, we’ll be able to bring in many new users who are not currently aware of Astar

Story

  • Indeed, there is a huge chance that Astar will get strong IPs from other traditional Japanese company on board.
  • In anticipation of this utilization opportunity, preparations should be made now to increase the utility of $ASTR and places where IP NFTs can be utilized, namely the metaverse.
  • As noted above, the size of the Metaverse market is huge. We, as Aster Natives, have the technical skills and experience to leverage our past experience to promote metaverse projects.
  • Plus, one of our goals in coexisting with Astar is to partner with the NFT projects in the Astar ecosystem so that their work can be exhibited in the Metaverse space and the NFTs can be used as avatars.

I am the core engineer for Astar Sign Witch.

In the mechanism to get into a space that has a specific NFT.
Astar Sign Witch’s NFT as a permit And put it in the space.

Make Astar Sign Witch’s comic book content available to the public.
I would be very happy if we could make it together.

Or
Give out WL to Astar Sign Witch holders
After selling the NFT, we would like to create a space where people can read Astar Sign Witch comics.

I like the way the world looks, interesting animation style, a lot of projects have been having problems with this lately. The team is large, which is good, although it is not clear how experienced people are. And another question, how do you position as a marketing project a place of gathering and communication, or in this world there will still be something to do, games and all that?
