Well everything can be taken 'down', from blockchains to even real life by governments.

For the metaverse to succeed, it should never be 'down'. Good luck with that if it is on a single platform or a single point of failure.

Perhaps an interoperable metaverse / hyperverse then?



I think you’re right. Even Fb/Meta said interoperability is a key feature of the “metaverse”.


Sure. Interoperability between Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp.


With everyone plugging into the Meta hub, of course.


The various Open Simulator grids (known collectively as the hypergrid) are interoperable like that. As long as the one you created your avatar on (which can easily be a self-hosted one) is up, there are many worlds to teleport to.


Perhaps some sort of MetaChain…of MetaBlocks…is needed?
