As the adoption of and engagement with Metaverse becomes more mainstream among consumers, more and more brands are choosing to open digital shops.

We spoke with Alan Smithson from the Metavrse. Metavrse helps brands engage with consumers through the MetaMall by leveraging the benefits of Extended Reality (XR).

Listen to this episode of the Metaverse Summit Roadshow to learn more about Alan’s journey, the plans of Metavrse, and his views about the growth prospect and challenges that the Metaverse faces now.

-This interview was conducted by Jay Suneja, an INSEAD MBA student, in partnership with the Metaverse Summit.

0:00 – Intro

0:48 – Guest Intro

1:56 – What Metavrse really does?

6:42 – How do you think it will be brought to the forefront in the coming years?

6:49 – What are some of the most important technologies or innovations in space?

10:17 – What is the underlying infrastructure behind XR?

17:51 – What’s the vision behind that and how would it work?

20:09 – Does Metavrse plan to have showrooms on the website?

20:56 – E-commerce alleviates a lot of the disadvantages these days but still, you see certain challenges?

23:15 – If I want to buy shoes in the real world or in the Metavrse; how would it work?

24:54 – What are some of the challenges that you see in the technologies right now?

26:50 – Do you see that brands now are much more open to using the Metaverse from an advertising perspective?

29:13 – What are your views about the open Metaverse?

32:51 – What personally do you feel is the most exciting thing about the space that’s coming in the future technology?

In this episode, we chatted with Aakarsh Naidu around his journey from working in Meta, to creating his own company around open metaverse.

He is an alumnus of The London School of Economics (LSE), Global Startup Enabler, as well as built and scaled the UK-based venture Startupreneur®. He has been in charge of one of India’s Top Startup Incubators and briefly lead the Startup Programs for Facebook in India and South Asia before starting his venture.

In HIS Current role, he is the co-founder and CEO of Signa X, a web 3.0 startup building digital assets for the gamefi and metaverse worlds.

0:00 – Intro

3:07 – Tell us about your role at Meta and what you were doing prior to that?

6:36 – Why have you decided to create Signa X rather than continue to work with Meta on the Startup Programs in India and South Asia?

7:30 – What according to you constitutes a Metaverse?

10:08 – How do you see the integration of the metaverse in our society?

12:21 – Can we compare the impact of the metaverse with the impact of web2?

13:19 – Do you think that there will only be one metaverse or a plurality of metaverse coexisting altogether?

15:23 – Out of all the areas within the Web 3 space, what are some of the areas that interest you and where do you see the most potential?

17:32 – Today, is there any obstacle (technological or legal) that could slow down the development of the metaverse?

19:39 – Is the goal of Signa X to support the future firms that will create the metaverse?

There are no trusted human executives since the organization is governed and operated by smart contracts. The smart contracts are written and executed as computer code. Monitoring and enforcement of smart contracts are likewise by computer algorithms. There are weak or non-existent mechanisms for dispute resolution, since “the code is law” and all participants have agreed in advance to abide by the code of the smart contract.

Our guideline will be to find how DAOs are a new kind of corporate governance

ACT 1 – SETUP (Is DAO weakness its own strength ?)

The story of “The DAO” (2016) remind us that a DAO weakness is its own code, because millions of dollars of ethereum has been stolen due to a programmation failure.

Nevertheless, a DAO’s code is its own strength because it is the motive of our trust in a DAO.

So, do you think that a DAO’s code can be its only weakness ?

Do you think that we can achieve a “perfect” code for a DAO ?

Is the risk always present until a code failure has not been discovered ?

Is the absence of any human interaction in a smart contract DAO a good thing ?

ACT 2 – CONFRONTATION (How can a DAO gain trust ?)

DAOs allow the alienation of trust from the owners and managers of the firm. That’s the main reason why people tend to totally trust DAO and some other people do not trust them at all for the same reason.

Trust is at stake here.

Code/Smart contracts is/are what puts trust in a DAO, how can a DAO prove itself trustworthy ?

Do you think that a human intervention in a DAO can be good if checking were its only job (a sort of inspection role to avoid eventual code failure) as in Cardano blockchain ?

Can we assimilate the researchers action in CrunchDAO to a perfect integration of human within a DAO or is it more like a human action certified by a DAO process ?

Do you think of a particular DAO that has success to gain trust, and so users quickly ?

ACT 3 – RESOLUTION If trust is gained, DAO can work perfectly.

What can be their applications ?

Do you see a domain in which it can be particularly efficient ?

Do you think it will be massively adopted in the future ?

0:00 – Intro

4:46 – What is DAO?

6:36 – What happened millions of dollars were lost in DAO?

16:28 – Why do people put trust in a DAO to prove itself trustworthy?

24:18 – Can we assimilate the researcher’s action in crunch DAO?

30:21 – Do you think that a human checking like a board of humans just with an inspection role in a DAO can be a good thing

31:45 – Do you think of a particular deal or a method that has worked today and has permitted to gain the user’s trust?

37:35 – Do you think the future of DAO is more massive adoption firstly by firms to make their process easier and faster?
