Guest writer: Dominic Levien <h4>The Macro Perspective</h4>It's July of 2022, and one of these times in the never-ending cycles of earthly happenings where there seems to be more negative news than positive, which is why I'm incredibly excited about the inspiring developments at Cornucopias.The world is changing at an accelerated pace, and the work environment is changing along with it. We need more income solutions that free us from physical spaces that are flexible, creative, and fun.The creative and fun part is not just a phrase but essential. Life is too short, and I believe that the goal should be happiness, fulfillment, connection, fun, meaning, and whatever makes life worth living for you. Life should be much more than working, eating, sleeping, paying taxes, and dying.It begins at school with a strict curriculum, and students sorted by age instead of skill and curiosity. Educational topics should be flexible and grow with our widening horizons and interests.In college and university, we are taught to be good at one thing, get a certificate, stop learning and pursue a predefined career. Too often, this leads to a "mid-life crisis" or pensioners without much of a clue what to do with their newfound time.Unfortunately, it will get worse for many of us before it gets better because many of the jobs we studied so hard for are becoming obsolete. AI can do these jobs more efficiently and accurately at a fraction of the cost and without needing a bathroom break or holidays.I know that doesn't sound like an uplifting intro to an uplifting article, but can you see the enormous potential in all of this? Imagine being liberated from mindless, repetitive, soul-crushing Jobs in dull corporate settings!If life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Harnessing the power of these new technologies and embracing the freedom they offer is a massive opportunity for us to lead a completely different life!<img width="1024" height="577" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1300/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1300/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853 300w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:800/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:700/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1300/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853 1275w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px">Cornucopias themed zone land<h2>Getting back to being optimistic and excited</h2>The world of Defi, Crypto, and Web3 is a melting pot of new ideas, and the team at Cornucopias is paving the way with innovation upon innovation, mixing ever more ingredients into their cauldron of solutions. They are cooking up a melange of creativity, multiple income possibilities, borderless communities, flexible learning experiences, beautiful artwork, and simple, pure fun — all in one stunning Metaverse!They recently hosted their first virtual land sale, which sold out in seconds! And in Cornucopias, the land is not just a flat bit of digital real estate. It has beautiful UE5 graphics and essential in-game utilities and will be an integral part of a community-driven gaming experience.<h2>Next up on the NFT roadmap is the Custom Domes, and boy, is that exciting!</h2>Let me tell you why!The Cornucopias Metaverse will be home to a myriad of ecoverses. You will find virtual spaces (called zones) purely for playing, adventuring, hunting, and gathering; there will be zones for building, creating, learning, and coming together. This diversity will create economies and opportunities for trade and modern entrepreneurship for thousands and potentially millions of people within the game. As you might already know, these zones exist within transparent bubbles called Domes floating in the clouds, and the aesthetics are gorgeous.In this article, you will learn about a free-to-play NFT called the Home Bubble, the Custom Domes NFTs that will be coming up for sale very soon, and you will get a sneak peek into the possibilities of the Custom Domes and why they are so exciting.<img width="1024" height="610" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE 300w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:800/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:400/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:800/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1300/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE 1222w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px">Home Bubble Deck Card from the Cornucopias CopiWikiEvery player participating in the Cornucopias Metaverse will automatically own their Home Bubble, a single transparent bubble resting atop a futuristic, conical metal structure floating in the clouds. In the bubble, there is an island surrounded by water. The player can design the interior of their bubble however they want. To start with, you will have two trees and a hammock.Within your Home Bubble is space to build a house with a garage and a garden. In the house, players can place furniture and art objects, and in the garage, they can show off their vehicles.Furniture and vehicles are all unique player-owned NFT resources that can be traded between players and sold on any NFT marketplace they are listed. Building materials for the house will be acquired by fulfilling gamified tasks within the vast Metaverse, hunting, gathering, or simply buying resources and finally crafting your desired object. This Home Bubble is the starting point for all players, a place to showcase your NFTs and your creativity, and a place to invite friends over and have a fireside chat after a long day.<img width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px">An In-game screenshot of a house within the Home Bubble also from the CopiWikiNow, this is where it starts to get complex but exciting from an entrepreneurial point of view.The Custom Domes will be large floating spaces, similar to the Themed Zones' more significantly large floating landscapes, only that these domes will be privately owned. When you purchase a Custom Dome, it is empty and will come with an extensive catalog of themes and pre-designed elements to create something unique without needing to code.The in-game mechanics of Cornucopias will probably be programmed so that as part of fulfilling quests, players will be sent to Custom Domes to complete tasks needed to be rewarded with resources, coins, and more. They channel players and, therefore, potential revenue into your Dome where you want them. The options for innovation are endless and Cornucopias is exploring them all.<img width="1024" height="604" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant" alt="Is the Future of Entrepreneurship bubbling in the Cornucopias Metaverse?" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px">Custom Dome Deck Card from the CopiWikiThe idea is that a whole ecosystem will grow around designing and building elements for these Custom Domes.As a virgin owner of a Custom Dome, you can choose from different templates and then pick design elements fitting that theme. You could, for instance, purchase a Custom Dome, choose the Night Club theme, go to the marketplace for interior design elements and create your unique nightclub venue. Within this nightclub, you can place sizeable floor-to-ceiling video screens and stages. You can invite Eminem to perform live at your location and sell the entrance tickets.OrYou can choose the Education theme and create your own virtual classroom fully equipped with all the materials needed for your particular line of education.How about Offering online courses in speaking, for instance. Participants can get on stage and practice in a safe environment with their classmates. You could even make a deal with a Custom Dome Nightclub and send your students to perform for their party guests.Or you could offer a permaculture course (self-sustainable ecosystems) where you create virtual landscapes that are fully interactable and show the progress of a permaculture system fast-forwarded through time. Your students can walk around a swale, plant a tree, and understand visually in 3D how the hidden fungal network between the roots works.OrIf you are the owner of an exclusive “Mega” Custom Dome you can build the best racing track in the whole Metaverse — one where even Anakin Skywalker would want to race — and hold racing events that attract thousands at a time.

If your imagination is holding out on you, here are two things I would like to see realized in a Custom Domes.<ol> <li aria-level="1">In a previous article on Cornucopias, I stated that dragon mounts are the only thing missing in Cornucopias". Well, perhaps the Custom Domes could even remedy this. Imagine a group of developers and designers got together and created a Dome where upon entering, your character would morph into a fantasy figure; you could walk to the stables, mount your dragon and fly to a virtual Comic Con within the Cornucopias Metaverse! You could charge a small entry fee like any Comic Con. The characters and mounts would be tradable and configurable NFTs, and within the custom fantasy Dome, there would be adventures and quests to be discovered and achievements to unlock that would reflect back into the larger ecoverse of the Cornucopias Metaverse. Does that sound like a fun way to earn an income?</li> <li aria-level="1">Imagine this. Your Custom Dome is a cross-chain portal into all the other Metaverse projects out there!!</li></ol>Imagine you could program a Metaverse transfer service.In the future, millions, if not billions, of people will have characters in multiple Metaverses, and they will want to easily get from one to the other. Imagine a player in the Cornucopias Metaverse intends to visit the Sandbox Metaverse. They fly with a Bubble Jet or public transport to your Custom Dome, pay an entry fee, and are now in a massive, colorful futuristic airport/spaceport with shopping malls, galleries, and gates.&nbsp;Each gate is a portal/wormhole to another Metaverse!! Upon entering the gate, your character is automatically transformed into the character you last saved in the Metaverse you are traveling to. While passing through your central Portal Hub on their way from one Metaverse to another, they can stroll through the shopping mall and buy a t-shirt souvenir, meet a friend in the nightclub in the Custom Dome next door, or what about a quick game of capture the flag in the PVP Arena?!Ahhhh, this is all getting too creative to be true, but could it be the future? And does Cornucopias have a chance of being a part of this future?I think so, very much so. Actually, I believe they are pioneering this future.SynopsisThe creators at Cornucopias imagine a frictionless, customizable, massive decentralized ecosystem within the Metaverse.They imagine designers, architects, developers, and hobbyists creating NFT assets and selling them on a decentralized marketplace so players and businesses alike can use them within their Custom Domes and Home Bubbles.They imagine educators bringing people together from around the world and teaching in a modern, flexible digital classroom for whoever, from wherever, whenever they want.They imagine international corporations building virtual meeting rooms and hosting internal company events.In a nutshell, Cornucopias wants to disrupt the status quo. They want to host a decentralized, creative, positive, empowering future shared by millions of people from all cultures and backgrounds. How not to be inspired by their intention to combine philanthropy, education, sources of income, and frivolous fun!In the title of this article, I ask the question, is this the future of entrepreneurship? Well, what do you think? Suppose you can make a successful career out of education, game

Is the Future of Entrepreneurship bubbling in the Cornucopias Metaverse?

<h2>Enabling Disruption</h2>Remember the fax machine? Most people my age have never even used one. Do you still call a taxi firm to book your ride or do you simply open your Uber app? When was the last time you wrote a bank cheque or dialed up the Internet?Things change pretty fast, and standard practice is now yesterday’s news. Netflix has replaced the video store. Airbnb challenges the hotel sector. Amazon has changed the retail landscape.And Wikipedia rattles libraries.<h2>Societal Disruption</h2>Each of these is an example of 'Disruption'. This term was coined by Larry Downes and describes the concept as 'major marketplace changes or sector transformation following the application of technology. We are so used to these companies and practices, that it feels as though we have always used them. This isn't the case, however, and innovation does not occur overnight. Take Amazon for example. Would it surprise you to know that it was founded in 1994? Or that Netflix began in '97? Airbnb started in '08. Practices we employ every day and are habitual within society were actually founded years before they ascended into the mainstream. Moreover, it's reasonable to assume that more epic industry disruptions are happening right under our noses. There is, however, one institution that has so far been relatively immune to disruption: the banking system. Banking - unchanged and out of date - is the old champion of the finance world.<img width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><h6 >Cryptocurrencies render intermediary banks redundant.</h6>However, this institution is finally being challenged by a new formidable contender in the form of cryptocurrency. Crypto provides an electronic peer-to-peer cash system that renders intermediary banks redundant. Cash and cheques are soon to become unnecessary and redundant, banks becoming simply buildings stocked with paper. Founded in 2009, Bitcoin has created a technology that heralds disintermediation, personal control, portable data, and transparent records. Foresight tells us this will create a disruption of the banking paradigm.<h2>Gaming Disruption</h2>The gaming industry is beloved by billions of people across the world and has always experienced its fair share of disruption. We saw this when early arcade machines were replaced by the Atari, Nintendo, Playstation, and now VR. This process continues today. Through a marriage of blockchain and gaming, another disruption is on the horizon. Games such as Cornucopias, have the vision to bring freedom, power, autonomy, and new economics to the players themselves. The ambition is to create a cutting-edge metaverse experience through immersive gameplay, an exciting story, exceptional artwork, and innovative economics. For the first time, players can own, buy and sell NFTs and in-game assets which enrich the player experience of the game. These are big ideas, even for digital natives. Indeed, these changes are paradigm-shifting and sometimes difficult to understand. Yet the brand new technology has always presented this problem. Could you describe TikTok to someone in their 90's? So how can we help big ideas spread to the masses?<h2>Innovation</h2>In 1962 Everett Rogers published a book entitled “Diffusion of Innovations.” In it, he explored the increased or decreased likelihood of product adoption. ‘Diffusion’ describes how a product gains momentum and spreads or ‘diffuses’ through society.Rogers proposed five stages of how such change occurs:<img width="1220" height="1172" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1220px) 100vw, 1220px" />Those following the Cornucopias Project appear to sit somewhere between Innovators and Early Adopters. However, Early Adopters make up only 13.5% of all adopters, with Innovators just 2%.What tools can we deploy to help the remaining adopters navigate this landscape? The answer is <a href="http://Copiwiki.cornucopias.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="http://Copiwiki.cornucopias.io">COPIWiki</a>.<h2>The COPIWiki</h2>COPIWiki is a robust platform that aims to inform readers and make complex subjects more easily understandable.

The COPIWiki is the platform to help players understand the use cases of NFTs and how they link to the greater Metaverse.It’s important to note that the COPIWiki is a living document that will perpetually develop. As new game ideas emerge they will be integrated. By that token, existing ideas have the potential to change or evolve, and the information you read in COPIWiki may differ in the months to come. That is not to say that the information is not valuable and accurate. Ultimately, this is all about information that aims to guide potential adopters into the future.Disruption is inevitable.Thus, the COPIWiki is an important, informative tool we are giving to our community to stay ahead of the curve.

COPIWiki: Part of the Disruption Tool-Kit

Whether in the real world or one of the many emerging Cardano metaverses, land is the single most desirable asset anyone can own. The connection between human beings and land is ancient and powerful. This is why games like Magic the Gathering or Civilization rely on complex land (Mana/Terrain) mechanics to fuel the games’ forward progression and determine the winners.Beautiful landscapes have inspired countless generations of artists and thrill-seekers alike. When human beings are not fighting over land, they are helping to cultivate it. Land serves as the foundation upon which our global economy is built, enabling food production, commerce, manufacturing, and supply chain logistics. <img width="1024" height="512" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><h6 style='text-align:center'>Beautiful landscapes abound in Cornucopias' Cardano metaverse.</h6>Effectively, land is essential to any pursuit that requires a place to gather or a space to craft or conduct business. Anyone who understands how to build success recognizes no surer route than real estate. That is… until the advent of virtual assets within the Metaverse as land parcel NFTs. Projects across all blockchain ecosystems have readily adopted NFT land sale models because they can be an incredible way to fund growth, and land NFTs are loaded with use cases for the holder. As the adoption of blockchain games and the Metaverse progresses, the necessity of NFT land sales will become increasingly evident in this space.According to the <a href="https://dappradar.com/blog/2021-dapp-industry-report#metaverse" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://dappradar.com/blog/2021-dapp-industry-report#metaverse">2021 Dapp Industry Report</a>: “The price on average for virtual lands in The Sandbox, one of the essential metaverse players, surged almost 500% from the end of October. In November, virtual lands on The Sandbox were traded for $14,800 on average, a significant growth from October’s $2,500 average.”The Sandbox isn’t the only metaverse project to see its virtual land offerings sell for astounding prices. The Dapp Industry Report states that in 2021, the Fashion Street Estate in Decentraland sold for $2.42 million (618,000 MANA) while a Genesis Plot from Axie Infinity sold for $2.33 million (550 ETH)!Unfortunately, and without mentioning any names, other blockchains are <a href="https://solanatimes.io/solana-goes-down-again/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://solanatimes.io/solana-goes-down-again/">prone to shutting down </a>completely, have ridiculously <a href="https://twitter.com/DegenTravis/status/1520605337690066944?t=HMG2_Ze-1sdNwWhCScFcXw&amp;s=19" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://twitter.com/DegenTravis/status/1520605337690066944?t=HMG2_Ze-1sdNwWhCScFcXw&amp;s=19">high transaction fees</a> that ruin the user’s experience, or have been <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/03/tech/axie-infinity-hack-party-nft-la/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/03/tech/axie-infinity-hack-party-nft-la/index.html">hacked</a>. These factors can make land acquisition in any given metaverse a difficult feat to accomplish. Enter CNFT land parcels in the collective Cardano Metaverse.<hr/><h2>The Cardano blockchain is uniquely suited to meet the demands of Metaverse residents.</h2>The Cornucopias metaverse is being built on Cardano, which is, in the words of Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, “the most advanced blockchain on Earth.” During a recent interview on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNyCj4XKP00&amp;t=8s" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNyCj4XKP00&amp;t=8s">Mornings with Maria</a>, Charles Hoskinson’s, Cardano’s founder, explained why the Cardano blockchain is uniquely suited to meet the growing financial demands of our emergent and increasingly globalized cryptocurrency economy:<blockquote>“In 2013, I helped co-found Ethereum, and there we had smart contracts. Suddenly we could do crowd sales, NFTs, DEXs, and all these things that you see today that are very exciting. But the problem with those technologies is that they don’t really scale. So when you start adding lots of uses, and you want to have a truly global system with millions, and eventually billions [of users] to solve real financial problems — whether it be microfinance in Africa, remittances in El Salvador, or be it global trade or ESG compliance — you just simply don’t have the technology to do that at the scale of millions to billions of people.So what I did in 2015 is I took a step back and said, ‘Alright. Let’s start a company and do first principles research.’ We opened up labs everywhere: one in Tokyo, at Tokyo Tech, one at the University of Wyoming, another at the University of Edinburgh, and one at Athens… because I like the food… and we wrote 135 papers, mostly peer-reviewed.</blockquote><img style='margin:0 auto' width="467" height="476" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 300w" sizes="(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px" /><h6 >It's true.</h6><blockquote>Then we built out the scientific backend, the scientific layer of the industry. We took those papers and transformed them into high-assurance code, the same type of code that you use for jets and rockets, code that can not fail. And we created a protocol called CARDANO. </blockquote><blockquote>We launched it in 2017, it’s been up since then, and we now have three and a half million users all across the world, from Ethiopia, and Burundi to Kenya, the United States, and Japan.”</blockquote>- Charles Hoskinson, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNyCj4XKP00&amp;t=8s" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNyCj4XKP00&amp;t=8s">Mornings with Maria Interview</a>, 05/03/2022The Cardano blockchain has been designed as a feasible response to the cryptocurrency trilemma: security vs. decentralization vs. scalability. The Cardano blockchain is built on peer-reviewed high-assurance code, making it secure, if not tamper-proof. It is highly decentralized across thousands of staking pools, with users evenly distributed. Finally, the adaptability and stability of the Ouroboros protocol allows Cardano to scale into the future.For these reasons and many more, the Cardano blockchain is uniquely suited to provide the decentralized infrastructure powering Cornucopias’ metaverse and all our upcoming land sales. Whereas other blockchains run the risk of going down for extended periods or are keen to slam users with prohibitively high transaction fees, Cardano metaverses have no such barriers to entry. Gamers will be free to securely and comfortably explore the virtual landscape of Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse while engaging in the day-to-day activities available within the various themed zones.<hr/><h2>Land, what is it good for? Absolutely everything in Cornucopias Cardano Metaverse.</h2>Virtual land CNFTs are one of the most enticing aspects of Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse. Plots acquired through land sales will allow owners to customize their gaming experiences while incentivizing imagination in a creative fusion of gaming and decentralized finance. Being a landowner on any metaverse comes with a repertoire of privileges and opportunities that regular metaverse gamers do not have access to.Land NFTs unlock several monetization aspects within a metaverse game by facilitating a wide variety of virtual entrepreneurship opportunities. Like natural land, Cardano metaverse land within Cornucopias’ game will enable players to build their own homes, participate in an exciting metaverse economy, and much more. In the real world, land is a valuable source of materials. In the metaverse, land endows owners have exclusive access to in-game tokens, resources, and governance features. While the final details of what is doable with Cornucopias’ land CNFTs are still being developed, now is an excellent time to examine what land ownership in Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse entails.Once fully released, Cornucopias Cardano metaverse will consist of 12 Themed Zones housed within immense domes silently suspended in a vast, digital sky by advanced technology. Each Themed Zone is composed of a number of Land Sectors, which can be further divided into a preset number of Districts. Cornucopias’ first land sale will focus on Distract Land plots which will be available in one of three Themed Zones: the Life on the Farm Zone, the Wild West Zone, and the Eastern Zone. (NOTE: Wild West Zone, and Eastern Zone will not be playable in the first game release).<img width="1220" height="686" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1220px) 100vw, 1220px" />Cornucopias' first land mint will feature spacious District Land plots in Sector 1.Districts are the main community-driven hubs of Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse, where players will be able to establish a residence and socialize with other Cornucopians. District land plots are where all the early action will be: you’ll be able to trade your wares, quest for new materials, and craft unique equipment NFTs to use while adventuring. Furthermore, players who own a plot of District Land will be granted District Community Membership, which will enable enhanced play-to-earn opportunities within the budding District economies. For instance, District Land plot owners can demonstrate their dedication to the community by completing certain tasks and building residential properties which other players can rent. District Landowners will provide a valuable service to the community by building digital real estate within Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse. Players who do not own District Land will be limited to how much they can play-to-earn. However, players who rent a room in a District Property owned by another player will receive official District Community Membership and thus enable all the play-to-earn opportunities within the District economy.<img width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><h6 style='text-align:center'>District Landowners can build workshops on their plots and provide a valuable service to the community.</h6>Residential properties can be upgraded over time using an in-game currency. Upgraded residential properties will allow the owner to house more tenants, and thus collect more rents while at the same time providing an invaluable service for the community. Naturally, District Land plot owners will not be limited solely to residential properties. Landowners will have the option to build Merchant shops where they can conduct business, like selling commodities to buyers in need of a specific resource. Landowners will also be able to build Workshops where players from all across Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse will be able to craft or repair their in-game assets. Additionally, once a District Land plot is properly built out, owners will have the option to create a farm and invite other players to tend the land and participate in Cornucopias’ metaverse economy. In short, District Landowners will be the small business owners and digital job creators of Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse!The opportunities that will be made possible by digital real-estate within Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse are endless. This is just a quick glimpse at what could await District Land plot owners in the near future. COPIWatch will bring you updates as these details become solidified.<img width="1220" height="618" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1220px) 100vw, 1220px" /><h6 style='text-align:center'>Actual game image of land in Cornucopias' Cardano metaverse.</h6><hr/><h2>Final Note:</h2>Any metaverse game worth its weight comes with a land sale. Land NFTs have been all the rage in the crypto world since 2021, when the NFT craze first took hold of the internet. Flash forward a year later, and everyone from hardcore blockchain nerds to residents new to the metaverse is still pining over the chance to scoop up some land. Cornucopians will soon have an opportunity to do the same.

A glimpse of virtual land in Cornucopias' Cardano Metaverse

The Cornucopias Crypto Scam Prevention Manual

In a world where most NFTs lack legitimate use cases, the utility of Cornucopias’ NFTs actually becomes their primary feature.In traditional gaming, players repeatedly pay through micro-transactions, subscription fees, DLC packages, and other such money-grabbing mechanisms.NFT gaming assets provide the exact opposite user experience. Instead of having to repeatedly make in-game purchases to “unlock” game content, only one purchase is required to own an NFT. That ownership unlocks a plethora of perks, rewards, and privileges. Owning an NFT from Cornucopias’ metaverse means you will possess true ownership of an “all-access pass” that unlocks a variety of features and in-game advantages.As long as the NFT is in your wallet, access to all of your perks can not be canceled. You don’t have to pay membership fees every month, and at any time, you can sell your NFT for a potential profit, trade it with someone else, or stake it for additional rewards. <img style='margin: 0 auto' width="540" height="540" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/pQHiJYtTc6quSr7msHwx"" loading="lazy" /><h3 style='text-align:center'><a href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/e282271ec9251ba23fb123b0f53618b35cf5a6cde4170c003a0ebf13424a533038303030" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/e282271ec9251ba23fb123b0f53618b35cf5a6cde4170c003a0ebf13424a533038303030">SPRINTER MY22 #08000</a></h3>Moreover, royalties generated by trading volume on secondary marketplaces serve as a passive stream of revenue for Cornucopias Game Studio. This negates the need for tack-on fees, which really means that Cornucopias will forever be a free-to-play, play-to-earn, learn-to-earn, host-to-earn, and build-to-earn metaverse game. The COPIWatch team now invites you to dig into the use cases for Cornucopias' first edition, limited edition NFT vehicles.<hr/><h2>Use Cases for the Bubblejett Sprinter / OG Custom & GTI Javelin.</h2>The first edition Bubblejett Sprinter / Custom OG Bubblejett, and the GTI Javelin are the origin point in a long line of NFT gaming assets that will have tremendous utility within the Cornucopias metaverse. However, because they are the first, they will come with a set of exclusive use cases that may not be present in later iterations of Cornucopias’ gaming assets. These include the following:<h4>E-Sports: Racing clubs, leagues, and original content:</h4>Individuals who own one of Cornucopias’ first edition NFTs will have access to a variety of perks. Owners will be admitted into exclusive e-sports clubs, such as racing leagues or teams exclusive to NFT holders. Vehicle rarity will be used to determine which clubs owners may join, and in what types of events they can participate. Imagine racing against other NFT owners in the “Legendary Corn Cup” or the “Mythic Corn Cup!” Advanced racing leagues based on NFT rarity will also generate increasingly exclusive prizes for tournament wins. Special esports content will be available to NFT holders and the future could see sponsorships from IRL racing leagues for global tournaments on Cornucopias’ metaverse race tracks!<h4>NFT Pedigrees:</h4>Cornucopias’ NFTs will gain a history of wins, losses, and owners, just like a prizefighter’s record. The longer you hold an NFT and the more wins you accumulate, the more valuable that NFT could potentially become. Some of the traits that will follow any given NFT vehicle around include things like races and cups win/loss percentage, miles driven, fastest speed, total drivers, and total owners. NFT vehicles with an illustrious pedigree owned by famous individuals, like notable YouTubers, or real-world racing champs, will eventually make their way onto the secondary market as extremely desirable metaverse memorabilia.<img style='margin: 0 auto' width="540" height="540" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/JFyn54uiST6NMQTBgQis"" loading="lazy" /><h3 style='text-align:center'><a style='text-align:center' href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/e282271ec9251ba23fb123b0f53618b35cf5a6cde4170c003a0ebf13424a533030343932" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/e282271ec9251ba23fb123b0f53618b35cf5a6cde4170c003a0ebf13424a533030343932">SPRINTER LE22 #00492</a></h3>Additionally, it has been suggested by Cornucopias’ CEO, Rob Greig, that these traits will somehow be visible within the game, perhaps as badges floating above characters’ heads. Imagine being gathered around the racing arena with other Cornucopians only to realize that your opponent’s vehicle was once driven by Elon Musk or Charles Hoskinson! Maybe that’s a bit of a stretch — but who knows?<h4>Governance Rights:</h4>A decentralized NFT governance system will empower Cornucopias NFT holders in much the same way a decentralized autonomous organization grants voting rights to governance token holders. NFT holders will be able to help direct the development of the Bubbljett &amp; GTI Javelin NFT projects.This is an open invitation for the community to help determine details about the next generation of Cornucopias’ NFT vehicles. By holding a first edition NFT, it will be possible to vote on things like use cases, designs, colors, or other important gameplay mechanics of future NFT releases. The final details on how exactly this will work are being formulated now, and COPIWatch will keep you updated.<h4>Official NFT Holder Roles on Cornucopias’ Discord Server:</h4>Our NFT strategists and Discord moderators are working together to create new roles on Cornucopias’ Discord server. At present, these roles will only be available to Cornucopians who hold a first edition Bubblejett Sprinter / Custom OG Bubblejett and GTI Javelin. Future NFT iterations will likely come with related Discord roles. First edition NFT owners who connect their wallet via Discord and complete a verification process will be awarded an official Discord role.This role will unlock an exclusive channel on the Cornucopias’ Discord server that only NFT vehicle holders will be able to access. This chat will likely serve as the headquarters for the digital gaming asset’s governing body to discuss the project — though these details have yet to be determined. It is possible that in the future, additional permissions will be added to a holder’s Discord role, based on the rarity of the NFT in their wallet.<img style='margin: 0 auto' width="540" height="540" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/Fuquy3LS8aMsMhuZl5Rg"" loading="lazy" /><h3 style='text-align:center'><a href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/086849cd9f672e731e0d9590a2d28a6a690ffa2f73bae0e1970f04914754494a3032303939" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/086849cd9f672e731e0d9590a2d28a6a690ffa2f73bae0e1970f04914754494a3032303939">JAVELIN LE22 #02099</a></h3><h4>NFT Staking for rewards:</h4>The COPIWatch team cannot fully disclose the details of how staking will work within Cornucopias’ cryptocurrency ecosystem yet. What is known is that first edition NFT vehicle holders will be able to stake their NFTs for rewards, such as in-game currency, corn-based fuel units, and other materials that will be crucial to Cornucopias’ build-to-earn and play-to-earn mechanics. How exactly this will work, and what sort of rewards delivery systems will be used has yet to be determined. NFT staking for rewards will serve as a critical element of the project’s overall vision. Our NFT strategists are working closely with our executive team and tokenomics specialist to develop a feasible rewards structure for NFT staking. <blockquote>(Editor’s note: our NFT strategists have issued the following clarifications on the information regarding Marketplace Access &amp; Testing Groups below. The COPIWatch team apologizes for any confusion this may have caused you.)</blockquote><h4 id="bae4">Marketplace Access &amp; Testing Groups:</h4>In combination with Cornucopias’ Discord verification system and proprietary marketplace, ownership of a first edition NFT will provide special access for future mints (specifics will always be in official announcements). This is not to be confused with “whitelisting.” Early access to alpha gameplay testing is guaranteed for all NFT vehicle holders provided you have undergone verification on Discord (this will be based on rarity as stated below).If you hold a first edition Bubblejett Sprinter, GTI Javelin, or Bubblejett Custom OG, you will be invited to participate in alpha test groups. Access to these groups will be prioritized by NFT vehicle rarity. For instance, if you hold a Legendary or Mythic NFT, you will receive an invitation to participate in alpha gameplay events before individuals who hold a Rare, Uncommon, or Common NFT.<h4>Traveling around Cornucopias’ Metaverse:</h4>The Cornucopias metaverse is enormous. Traveling between your home island bubble and any of the themed zones is going to be a crucial element of the game’s mechanics. Both the Bubblejett Sprinter / Custom OG Bubblejett and GTI Javelin will make traveling from one massive bubble dome to another a thrilling joy ride.As resource gathering is a central component of Cornucopias’ community-built metaverse, gamers can use their NFT vehicle to transport virtually any digital object from one location to another. Raw materials for crafting NFTs, loot from adventuring, a fashionable new set of NFT clothes or even other Cornucopians can be loaded onto an NFT vehicle and transported to a gamer’s home bubble. NFT vehicles will help to shape the full scope of Cornucopias’ build-to-earn and play-to-earn plexuses by giving players the freedom to traverse anywhere, while carrying anything, in Cornucopias’ metaverse.<img style='margin:0 auto' width="540" height="540" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/DiRJSRsfTuybKJnCX3LS"" loading="lazy" /><h3 style='text-align:center'><a href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/086849cd9f672e731e0d9590a2d28a6a690ffa2f73bae0e1970f04914754494a3039323030" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/086849cd9f672e731e0d9590a2d28a6a690ffa2f73bae0e1970f04914754494a3039323030">JAVELIN MY22 #09200</a></h3><h4>Virtual Entrepreneurship: </h4>As previously mentioned, transportation is a crucial gameplay element in Cornucopias. A public transit system will be available for players without a vehicle. However, renting a vehicle is another option for getting around the Cornucopias metaverse. Individuals who own NFT vehicles will be able to rent them out to new gamers for a certain fee. Whether this will be paid out in COPI tokens or a different in-game currency is yet to be determined. This will benefit new gamers who want to test out an NFT before buying it, as well as racing fanatics who want to practice for a race with someone else’s vehicle to avoid racking up mileage or losses on the pedigree of their vehicle.However, this is not the only way holders will be able to leverage their NFTs in lucrative virtual business opportunities. Transportation services, such as delivering materials or even players around Cornucopias’ metaverse will also be a possibility. Dealerships that specialize in NFT vehicles with specific traits/pedigree are also realistic metaverse business models. How an NFT vehicle can be put to use as a value-generating virtual business asset is limited only by the gamer’s imagination.<h4>Exclusive NFT Rewards:</h4>These will be NFT airdrops in all but name. While the NFT itself will be free, there will be a small transaction fee associated with the drop. However, the Cornucopias’ team can drop virtually anything as an NFT reward for holding a first edition Bubblejett Sprinter or GTI Javelin. According to Rob Greig, Cornucopias’ CEO, this perk will work best paired with an in-game reward system. For example, if a player wins 100 races using their NFT, then they would be able to claim an achievement badge specific to their vehicle’s rarity as an NFT reward. <img style='margin: 0 auto' width="540" height="540" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/sVRN04RjQRK98IuKKOQD"" loading="lazy" /><h3 style='text-align:center'><a style='text-align:center' href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/a4badea66770768b02ff7b9674d445f13016ce901804f45844e00ebd424a534f47433030353539" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SPRINTER OG CUSTOM LE22</a></h3>It is completely within the realm of possibility for a holder to one day wake up and find a brand new NFT reward from the Cornucopias team waiting in their wallet. <hr/><h2>In-game performance specs.</h2>All of Cornucopias’ NFT vehicles possess different performance specs that will directly affect how they operate within the game. However, Cornucopias’ racing tournaments will be class-based, which puts the racing advantage directly in the gamer’s hands. It doesn’t matter which vehicle you’re driving, what matters is how you use it to leverage your driving style and rack up tournament wins!Are you more focused on power and speed, or do you have a preference for handling and precision? No matter what your driving style is, there will eventually be a Cornucopias NFT vehicle for you.For now, the following specs will apply to the Bubblejett Sprinter, GTI Javelin, and Custom OG Bubblejett models specifically:Top Speed: Indicates how fast the vehicle can go when pushed to its absolute limit. However, top speed isn’t everything. Players would be wise to consider a vehicle’s handling and acceleration statistics in combination with top speed in order to gain an advantage. Acceleration: Determines how quickly the vehicle reaches its top speed. Vehicles with a high acceleration rate will be able to go head to head with vehicles that have a higher top speed, thus allowing for a more balanced gaming experience.Handling: This stat governs how easy it is to control a vehicle while in use. Models like the GTI Javelin will be slightly harder to control than vehicles like the Bubblejett Sprinter. This will require that gamers exercise a certain level of finesse to gain an advantage during a race.Efficiency: This refers to a vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Some vehicles will be more fuel-efficient than others. Gamers will have to decide whether they want to acquire racing vehicles or vehicles intended for transporting cargo back and forth between their home island bubble and other parts of the metaverse. Or both.<img style='margin:0 auto' width="540" height="540" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/peBOIz6IQJerOAVQNHtd"" loading="lazy" /><h3 style='text-align:center'><a style='text-align:center'href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/a4badea66770768b02ff7b9674d445f13016ce901804f45844e00ebd424a534f47433030363230" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/a4badea66770768b02ff7b9674d445f13016ce901804f45844e00ebd424a534f47433030363230">SPRINTER OG CUSTOM MY22 #00620</a></h3>Cargo: A vehicle’s carrying capacity. There will be resources throughout the Cornucopias metaverse, such as wood, metals, and fabrics that will need to be hauled from one location to another. Performance vehicles like the GTI Javelin are limited in carrying capacity. Eventually, large vehicles capable of carrying industrial-sized loads will be available as NFTs.<hr/><h2>Final Note:</h2>It is important to note that Cornucopias’ NFTs are being released in sync with what will be available to test during alpha gameplay.

We come from different walks of life, different parts of the globe, and different professional fields. But we are united by the belief that we will change the gaming industry forever. Our job will not be done until we've fused blockchain and gaming into a new, insanely immersive genre of entertainment.On that note, dear Cornucopians, the COPIWatch Team would like to officially introduce you to the future of gaming!<hr/><h2>Cornucopias' Official Letter of Introduction to the Future of&nbsp;Gaming</h2>The ADA raised by NFT sales is helping to fund the growth of your gaming metaverse. With your help, the Cornucopias team is evolving into a decentralized, AAA blockchain-based gaming powerhouse. Every Cornucopias NFT released into the marketplace, including any NFT that you mint, has been engineered with specific in-game utility, as well as beneficial use cases - such as DeFi.&nbsp;NFTs represent an exciting new future in the world of gaming. For the first time ever, gamers can capitalize on the real-world time and effort they've put into acquiring rare or unique items within a game. No matter what kind of gamer you are, you've likely dedicated hours to defeating a boss, winning a trophy, or unlocking an accomplishment. How many hours did it take you to master speedrunning a stage? How long did you search for that shiny Pokémon?Imagine if your high scores and trophy cabinet were forever etched on the blockchain. Or what if you were able to download a rare item drop from a boss battle onto an external device outside of the game? Your gaming accomplishments would be kept safe long after the last server stops hosting the game. You wouldn't have to worry about losing the original game cartridge. You would never have to recommit yourself to achieving the same in-game reward again. More importantly, your original accomplishment would forever be secure and yours alone to own.<img width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px">Let’s continue with this example. What if you could take the original Pikachu companion from Pokémon Yellow Edition (the one who used to follow you around everywhere) and upload your pal as a playable version of the Pikachu in Smash Bros. Ultimate, or as a character model in the latest edition of Pokémon Snap?What if you could take that same Pokémon Yellow Edition Pikachu and sell it on a platform like eBay? Only you, as the asset’s sole owner, would be able to provide the credentials to brandish a unique digital certificate of authenticity.And what if it were possible to immediately and securely transfer your gaming asset to your customer’s wallet after verifying and accepting exact payment through the blockchain?<hr/><h2>Take this Concept a Step Further: NFT gaming assets with built-in use&nbsp;cases.</h2>NFTs that can be moved from one game into a completely different game as fully playable within that game’s code are not on the market yet. Yet this is where the future of gaming is headed. What is possible now are NFTs that can be used as in-game assets to unlock many different features within a gaming metaverse.Let’s go back to our Pikachu companion example. Imagine if blockchain gaming technology had been around when the early Pokémon series was released. It would have been possible to connect your wallet to a Pokémon Yellow Edition game and mint a first edition Pikachu companion as an NFT gaming asset with a unique serial number. As the sole owner of this specific Pikachu companion, you would be able to unlock certain features within that release of the game, as well as future Pokémon games.For example, you could have access to new areas of the map, or unlock special side-quests and mini-games that only Pikachu companion NFT holders would be able to access. If you continue to hold your first edition Pikachu companion, you would also be able to stake your NFT in exchange for in-game rewards, such as rare poké balls, in-game currency, or special battle items.As a holder of this Pokémon NFT asset, you would also be entitled to certain perks, such as being invited to exclusive tournaments or being recognized as an official member of the “Yellow Edition Pokémon League” with a special NFT Gym Trainer’s Badge. Imagine that holding a Pikachu companion NFT would allow you to be part of alpha game test groups for future Pokémon releases. You would even be asked to weigh in on how the Pokemon franchise should grow and evolve. In our example, holding this type of NFT would give you voting rights in shaping the future of Pokémon!<img width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px">As an NFT gaming asset, your Pikachu companion would also carry a pedigree with it. You would be able to access a detailed record of all your trainer battles, tournament wins, and other things that it helped you to accomplish within the game. If you ever choose to sell your Pikachu companion on a secondary NFT marketplace, you would be able to use its pedigree to increase your asking price. A Pikachu companion NFT with 0 tournament wins would sell at a much lower price than an NFT with several high-profile tournament wins.All of these things are well within the realm of possibilities today. The NFTs being brought to market for the Cornucopias gaming metaverse will be capable of doing many of the things illustrated above and more!Unfortunately, the COPIWatch team cannot yet elaborate on the use cases behind our NFT gaming assets. These details will be explored in future installments of COPIWatch. We’ll be providing a robust discussion about the in-game utility of our NFT gaming assets, starting with the First Edition Bubblejett Sprinter and GTI Javelin.<hr/><h2>NFTs and the Future of&nbsp;Gaming.</h2>Many individuals do not yet realize the full implications of NFTs on the future of gaming. The uninitiated think that NFTs are nothing more than digital art and fancy&nbsp;.jpeg files that sell for ridiculous amounts of money.But Cornucopians know the truth.&nbsp;As more and more people adopt NFT technology, there is going to be a quantum leap in what this technology will be capable of doing.As this happens, mainstream gaming becomes changed forever. Cornucopians are leading the charge in the Cardano metaverse gaming industry. NFTs, like the First Edition Bubblejet Sprinter, and the GTI Javelin, are not only unique works of digital art but also fully playable, in-game assets that can also be sold, traded, or collected.<img width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px">They will each have a set of in-game features, performance specifications, and specific utility as NFT gaming assets very similar to the examples provided above. Cornucopias will be fully released on Unreal Engine 5 as a blockchain-based MMOMRPG metaverse to a growing worldwide audience.&nbsp;As such, the first edition NFTs like the Bubblejett Sprinter and GTI Javelin will become extremely useful and sought after. They will provide holders critical advantages within the game. As an increasing number of players populate Cornucopias’ metaverse, these NFTs will become extremely scarce.Cornucopias’ NFTs will also be central to how the game’s play-to-earn mechanics work.As a blockchain gamer in a play-to-earn MMOMRPG, your role is twofold:<h3 style='text-align:center'>1 — Play to earn, of&nbsp;course. 2 — But also play to add value to the&nbsp;project.</h3>Players who own NFTs will inevitably take part in how the game is shaped as they figure out new ways to earn. Owning NFTs within Cornucopias will allow gamers to participate within Cornucopias’ DeFi cryptocurrency ecosystems. At its core, the metaverse is shaped around community-driven projects and companies. The more involved you are in the game, the more opportunities you will find to fuse the real world with the digital world in a thriving, value-generating, video-game economy.If you’re holding onto a first edition Cornucopias’ NFT, keep holding onto it! It is a very early and a very precious piece of gaming history! Someday soon, it will have insane amounts of utility within the game that the Cornucopias Team is building for you!<hr/><h2>Final Note:</h2>Most people do not understand the true power of NFTs. As Cornucopians, you are helping to change that.The Cornucopias team is laser-focused on building all aspects of this game. Everything we are doing is methodically planned to add more and more value to everyone who is participating in our community. It doesn’t matter whether you are a COPI token holder, NFT holder, or just someone who loves to game.It is still very early to fully conceptualize what the future of gaming holds thanks to NFT technology.

Introduction to the Future of Gaming: Playable NFTs and the Cornucopias Metaverse

In preparation for an upcoming YouTube interview with the<a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/MetaMoney" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Meta Money</a> channel, I was asked to consider the following question:“Is there anything you would like to discuss on the call?”Anyone who has seen my interviews knows that I like to add new bits of information to each video I make. This simple question got me thinking about a blockchain panel I had watched on my recent trip to Canary Wharf.The panel's discussion was about the nature of interoperability on the blockchain and was hosted by one of Cornucopias’ advisors, <a href="https://twitter.com/CityAM_Crypto?s=20&amp;t=CmDRkdNNAG-2EVJjvHGUPA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Bowater</a>, who also owns the <a href="https://www.cityam.com/crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">City A.M. newspaper.</a>&nbsp;It was an extremely informative panel and the trip was filled with tons of adventures that I may just write a few stories about someday.<blockquote>Wow! Congratulations to the Cornucopias Project for making headlines in a prestigious London newspaper ! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CornucopiasGame?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CornucopiasGame</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CardanoCommunity?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CardanoCommunity</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlockchainGaming?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlockchainGaming</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PLAYTOEARNGAMES?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PLAYTOEARNGAMES</a> Image has a photograph of myself and Callum <a href="https://t.co/VB4eyCuT12">pic.twitter.com/VB4eyCuT12</a>— Rob Greig (@RobGreig3) <a href="https://twitter.com/RobGreig3/status/1494925792068919306?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 19, 2022</a></blockquote>One restless night after my trip,&nbsp; I was thinking about which new and interesting subject I could discuss during my Meta Money interview. I found myself replaying moments from the trip to Canary Wharf in my mind. Then, from out of nowhere, an old memory popped into my head. It was an inspiring video about Smart Contracts created by Cardano founder, Charles Hoskinson, in 2020.It’s not the first time I had thought about Charles' video, and indeed it was part of the catalyst (pun intended to those in the know) that gave rise to “The Island” tagline in Cornucopias.All of a sudden my brain became supercharged with ideas -&nbsp; I became more sleep-deprived as I explored and drafted new thoughts about how to explain the metaverse. In the back of my head, I could hear the Meta Money interviewer asking me "Is there anything you would like to discuss on the call?"Now I finally had an answer:&nbsp;“Yes! I want to discuss what the metaverse is and how Cornucopias fits into it.”It took me quite some time to evolve and spin concepts from Charles' video and my own thoughts into a definition of the metaverse, but before I share it with you, I'd like to provide some context about the ideas that inspired my definition.&nbsp;<hr/><h2>A brief synopsis of Charles Hoskinson's “The Island, The Ocean and the Pond (Soon)"</h2>In the video titled <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8a6tX53YPs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Island, The Ocean and the Pond (Soon)</a> Charles Hoskinson talks about Ethereum as the Pond, and describes it as “a petri dish to experiment with a lot of on-chain activity.” He goes into detail about various experimental languages and technologies including Ethereum Virtual Machines (EVMs) and describes scripting/programming languages, such as Solidity. Charles explains how all these technologies are trying to create a new disruptive world where smart contracts can replace real-world financial transactions.He goes on to suggest that the amount of developers in the Ethereum Pond is tiny compared with the Ocean which represents over 15 million java, .net, php, c, c++, and so on, traditional developers.However, the Ocean is not very interoperable with the Pond as the required tooling doesn’t exist. So the Pond is great for experimenting but it is not ready for mainstream development and there is no long-term strategy to unite the Ocean and the Pond in any way. Charles makes references to how code written in the Pond is not production-ready and hints at future issues if that code were to be adopted as a mainstream standard.I don't want to pour fuel on an already existing fire, but this needs to be said: It has been 2 years since Charles' video was released, and it is common knowledge that Ethereum is well known for widespread smart contract hacking. Over 10 billion dollars have been stolen from smart contracts due to loopholes written into their fundamental structure. This is because the Solidity language was not built with adequate checks and balances.Additionally, the community of Ethereum developers is encouraged to copy and paste chunks of Solidity code in the mantra of “Move fast and break things.” This is a great mantra, but when it comes to cryptocurrency (which holds real-world value and in some cases peoples' life savings), not knowing you are investing and transacting with your money in a hackable ecosystem is not great at all!It's bad for individual users, and for the crypto industry in general.<iframe src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/k8a6tX53YPs' style='width:100%; height: 600px;'></iframe><h3 style='text-align:center'><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8a6tX53YPs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Hoskinson's infamous "SOON" video​</a></h3>Charles elaborates on his metaphor: "The magical Island exists (in the Ocean) where the things that you build, they work right the first time, and it’s just beautiful. It’s a happy place."He recognizes the experiment is important, but to attract mass adoption and sustainability, smart contracts have to be secure. They have to be designed in such a way that developers from the Ocean can use development tools they are already familiar with to get started. He then offers the new purpose-built Cardano smart contract language called Plutus, which is built on top of Haskell, as a solution that developers will hopefully adopt.The Cardano tooling available in Plutus will have many tools built-in by default to try and mitigate bad development practices from happening in the first place. After all, part of Cardano's vision is to replace the current financial system with a decentralized, self-governing ecosystem.To quote a great book I once read called Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard by Dan &amp; Chip Heath you need to “Shape the Path” of the developer. If you don’t allow them to write bad code in the first place you have achieved a huge leap forward in development and mass adoption.So the Island, according to Charles' metaphor, looks to learn the lessons of the experimental Pond of early smart contracts, and merge them with the Ocean of traditional developers. Doing so could enhance these&nbsp; "potentially related development" worlds and create a beautiful place where opportunities for new adventures can exist in a well thought out, forward-thinking, future-proof, ever-evolving environment.<hr/><h2>How this metaphor applies to the Legacy Internet &amp; Metaverse</h2>Charles' elaborate metaphor is the perfect way to think about the metaverse's structure within the crypto space, the emerging blockchain gaming space, and the mainstream gaming space.&nbsp;However, in order to fully define the metaverse, we have to first look at the current legacy internet. It is made up of millions of websites, but you wouldn't call a single website the internet, would you? Each website is built mainly on Microsoft Windows or Linux operating systems and has some form of databases such as MySQL, SQL, Server, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, etc.Websites are stand-alone or they can pull in bits and pieces from other websites such as a Twitter feed or an RSS feed. Users can jump from one website to another by clicking on weblinks. All of these moving pieces come together to create the legacy internet.&nbsp;Within the legacy internet, we have the Pond, which in my illustration represents everything in the Blockchain space, not just Ethereum or Cardano. There are roughly 100 million people worldwide buying, selling, and trading cryptocurrencies. There are hundreds of millions of transactions on an increasing number of blockchains, including Cardano and Ethereum.<iframe src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/81dMwyPf80o' style='width:100%; height: 600px;'></iframe><h3 style='text-align:center'><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81dMwyPf80o" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The interview with Meta Money that got me writing​</a></h3>If we continue to mold the original metaphor then the&nbsp;Ocean&nbsp;represents Gamers as a whole. There are roughly 2.5 billion gamers worldwide who play games in arcades, on home computers, consoles, tablets, and mobile phones. Gaming can be done alone or with one's friends in real life or via the internet. Traditional gamers are used to paying to play games. They are used to buying add-ons such as downloadable characters or in-game skins or weapons.This money, once spent, is locked away in the game forever.Within this context metaverse projects, like Cornucopias, are the&nbsp;Island. We are trying to unite the blockchain community and traditional gamers in a virtual utopia where they can play, build and learn together. Cornucopias' metaverse project will be a free-to-play game that will be available on PC, desktop, mobile, consoles, and Smart TVs. Gamers will be rewarded with NFT assets that they can sell for real-life money. Players will also be rewarded for learning new skills in a fun and exciting environment.&nbsp;<hr/><h2>Defining "The Metaverse"</h2>Finally, all of these different pieces come together to create the metaverse. I like to think of the metaverse as a second layer that sits on top of the internet. It's like a Web 3.0 app, but I believe there's much more to it than that:<ul> <li>It's a transformation of the 2D flat internet to 3D immersive spaces</li> <li>You will have millions and millions of Metaverse Islands that form The Metaverse&nbsp;</li> <li>For example Decentraland, The Sandbox or Cornucopias are all Metaverse Islands</li> <li>Each Island, just like a website, can be built on a specific blockchain technology such as the Ethereum Blockchain or Cardano or the Binance Smart Chain</li> <li>Each Metaverse Island will have its own form of native digital currency which is transferable back to its Layer 1 parent</li> <li>Each Metaverse Island can be interoperable with other Islands, and gamers' digital assets and even their avatars can be shared using NFT technology</li> <li>Gamers will be able to jump to or be teleported from one Metaverse Island to another</li> <li>Everything you own in the metaverse is yours and you can sell or trade your things whenever you want</li> <li>Gamers, educators, and commercial businesses will flood to be part of this new Web 3.0 paradigm because unexplored opportunities are everywhere</li></ul>To sum it all up: The Metaverse is the natural evolution of the Internet and human interactivity where everything is decentrally owned by the people.<hr/><h2>Final Thoughts</h2>The metaverse we think we know or are building today will evolve rapidly into something very different as hardware and software become faster, smaller, portable, connected, and more powerful. Work, play, and entertainment will seamlessly integrate together, and just like the internet, we will eventually take living in the metaverse for granted.Opportunities are everywhere for everyone in the Cornucopias Metaverse from big businesses to home cottage startups - which we were only 12 months ago! It is amazing to be building a company at this time in history that is pioneering and laying down future pathways in this rapidly expanding space.When I started planning Cornucopias back in January 2020 I didn't realize back then how powerful an idea Cornucopias was, and even now looking at the myriad of metaverse projects that are popping up everywhere, Cornucopias still stands out because of the time we took to plan and think about what we wanted to do within our Metaverse Island is really paying off.I would love to know how you define the metaverse!
