Manifesto

In 2021, the term 'open metaverse' caught fire. It was a rallying cry for those of us who believe in an internet that is free, interoperable, and deeply human. But as with all powerful ideas, it also became a buzzword—co-opted, diluted, and sometimes misunderstood. Today, we are here to renew that promise. To double down on what it truly means to build an open metaverse and to invite you, the dreamers and the builders, into a new era.
The metaverse we envision is not a product; it is not a virtual mall, a theme park or a casino designed to extract value from its visitors. It is a movement—a playable cinematic universe of new worlds, economies, and cultures, built by the collective imagination of its participants. It is a space where gaming, storytelling, and technology merge into something greater than the sum of their parts: a living, breathing ecosystem that empowers its community.
At Open Meta, we see ourselves as world builders, not gatekeepers. We are here to create the on-ramps, tools, and opportunities for anyone to step into the role of creator, explorer, or entrepreneur.
We are building Emergence as a launchpad for these new worlds. It includesa marketplace where ideas become reality, where game assets and economies flow seamlessly, and where interoperability is not a feature but a foundation. And through The Connective, we are crafting an alternate reality game that challenges players to explore not just the metaverse, but themselves—to grow, heal, and transform.
This vision is powered by $OMETA, the token for the open metaverse, and a community-driven force behind unprecedented economic scale. Gaming in the hundreds of billions and crypto in the trillions. That is our new canvas. And this is still the ground floor. It is more than speculation, it is a stake in this movement, a voice in our DAO that guides our future, and a tool to create real value in virtual spaces. The Open Meta DAO, exists to ensure that this vision is not just sustainable, but expansive—that it grows into a cultural and technological renaissance for our time.
We are standing at the edge of something extraordinary—a new frontier where creativity is uncapped, where technology serves human potential, and where the boundaries between worlds are blurred by our collective imagination. This is an invitation to all of you: to the artists, developers, storytellers and dreamers. Let’s create a metaverse that reflects the best of us, a space where we can be both the authors and the protagonists of our own stories.
The Open Metaverse is not a destination. It’s a journey, and it starts now.
Because if you don't like your world, create a new one.
