Unified Metaverse Architecture Powered by Blockchain Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO)

Abstract

Metaverse platforms or ecosystems can be considered virtual or extreme reality spaces where end-users live, communicate, collaborate, entertain, work and game with other personas or avatars in computer-simulated environments. Metaverse environments envisage a cybernetics future where man, machine and systems work together in the virtual world to replace humans. Metaverse platform’s vision is to integrate communities, products, service offerings, creators, commerce, entertainment, workspace etc. Metaverse works on the self-service marketplace requiring many formats of digital payments based on the transaction type. Metaverse virtual operations happen worldwide beyond the firewalls and state boundaries using the internet. Legislation and jurisdiction enforcement are challenging as they go beyond countries and are primarily untraceable sources. Hence, there is a need to study the metaverse components of resources required, communication network essentials, orchestration/automation possibilities, virtual organisation prerequisites, interface-spatial considerations and well-thought experience ecosystems. This paper proposes the architecture of virtual metaverse space using the blockchain-led decentralised autonomous organisation to create immutable, transparent, fair, inclusive and socially immersive platforms using smart contracts and distributed apps (DApps). The proposed unified metaverse architecture powered by the decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) is the gateway design for metaverse infrastructure (computing and networking resources) to the orchestrated virtual-meta environment (interface, spatial and experience).
