Ripple, the leader in business blockchain and crypto solutions, and FLUF World, a pioneer in 3D-enabled, content-rich NFT collections and experiences, announce an unprecedented alliance to provide “The Open Metaverse” through The Root Network. The Root Network combines best-of-breed Web3 components with an emphasis on the user experience.
FLUF World has created and deployed infrastructure, protocol, content, and application technologies architected for user experience and interoperability. Rich content provides tremendous community network effects and a thriving metaverse ecology with 14 collections, 195,000 NFTs, and 340,000 transactions. FLUF World features Flufs, Party Bears, Thingies, Burrows, Eggs, Rayguns, Seekers, Altered State Machine, and AIFA All-Stars.
FLUF World has led the conversation around “The Open Metaverse,” an approach that shapes the best practices, values, and technological architecture needed to build the new interoperable world of Web3; a path to a digital world where user experience silos are broken down and worlds and experiences become interoperable. FLUF World designed The Root Network for The Open Metaverse.
Aaron McDonald, co-founder of FLUF World, says The Root Network is the result of five years of strategy, research, and development
“Partnering with Ripple on The Root Network provides new doors for our community and theirs. We’re pleased to expand XRP’s usefulness as the default gas token of this Metaverse network while offering developers the Root Network and Open Metaverse via XRPL’s worldwide infrastructure footprint.
Ripple’s partnership with FLUF World on The Open Metaverse is exciting. Since 2008, the XRP Ledger has provided the finest settlement and liquidity for any tokenized asset, from currencies to collectibles. Ripple’s GM, Monica Long, said the agreement shows the XRP Ledger’s ability to support a large metaverse project.
The Root Network will enable any creator access to smart contract capabilities without having to build or deploy contracts. Code previously built for Ethereum may now operate natively on the Root Network using Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility. Root’s integrated runtimes for Non-Fungible Assets, Gas Economy, Fungible Assets, Decentralized Exchange, Oracles, and more, will allow creators to construct apps and content without becoming smart contract developers.
The Root Network provides asset bridges between the XRPL and ETH networks and the XRPL NFT standard. This links The Root Network to two of the major Web3 communities and gives XRP Ledger access to additional smart contract functionalities and NFTs.
