Metaverse Cryptos (cryptocurrency) coins or tokens are digital assets used locally in a variety of different, disconnected, virtual economies. Together with Blockchain, cryptos are fundamental elements of the Metaverse and Web3.

Even though many of the service providers in the metaverse offer free accounts, buying or trading virtual assets on blockchain-based platforms requires users to use a cryptocurrency.

Shopping with Metaverse Cryptos

With Metaverse Cryptos, you can purchase digital assets, such as land and buildings, or items, like games or characters skins (which can also be traded with other players).

In the Metaverse, it is possible to find virtual shopping malls, peruse real-world goods and make a purchase paying with cryptos -- all without leaving home. You can also attend virtual concerts, like the one that Snoop Dog organized a few years ago.

Tokens in Metaverse games

Many of the best Metaverse game sites are already using their own tokens, which can be used for various purposes or traded for real-world value in crypto, or even fiat. At the forefront of this are companies such as Decentraland, The Sandbox, and Axie Infinity -- each offering virtual game worlds, which let users explore, communicate, and purchase digital plots of land, which can then be sold on an open marketplace.

Cryptos allow users to buy NFT and own their avatars, make purchases within the game, and even register virtual territories under their names. In the metaverse, one could own things such as avatars, lands, digital clothing, and other items, as well as move these elements between platforms through a cryptocurrency wallet.
