Metaverse Worlds and NFT MetaSton
Following through with our plan to innovate within the industry, naturally we have shifted our focus to the next wave of life-changing technology: The Metaverse.
What on the surface seems like a relatively new and under-explored pathway, is actually a burgeoning trillion dollar industry, centred around making life easier, more accessible and more enjoyable for everyone around the world.
Most analysts are convinced, and we agree, that the Metaverse will become the place where business meetings are held, concerts are enjoyed, friends are met with, fashion and technology is debuted, and where physical disability and limitations become obsolete.
2022
2022
Although, up to this point gaming has been the driving force in the industry, commanding a ~50% market share of the reported $63.83 Billion industry, the Metaverse is much more than just gaming. The future of work will be redefined by new Metaverse experiences. Meta’s (formerly Facebook) Horizon Workrooms and Microsoft’s Mesh have been designed to empower work in a virtual world, both enabling remote collaboration across devices through mixed reality applications.
School and social life, too, will evolve. Roblox, a gaming platform with a $25B market cap, is planning to bring educational video-games to classrooms. Also, Match Group, the parent company of Tinder, Hinge, and other well known dating apps, has been investing heavily in its transition to the Metaverse. Dating will never be the same, as VR based dating apps will, along with allowing users to convey body language, eliminate the need to meet strangers in person for a first date.
A new era for commerce is now in motion as well with stores now selling anything from digital pets to e-Apparel (wearable clothing in the Metaverse). Analysts are projecting that by the end of 2022 the industry will be worth more than $100B and grow to over 1.5 trillion by 2029.
Many other large multinational companies have also started to innovate within the space and here we see an exciting opportunity for explosive growth. With companies like McDonald’s, JP Morgan, Nike, Hyundai, Gucci, and Coca-Cola venturing out into the Metaverse, Mainston is preparing to join them.
However, we believe they are all missing one crucial, rather important detail in their quest for success in the Metaverse;
For the Metaverse to attain the type of interoperability required to make all of these possibilities a reality, it must be Decentralized.

Basically a Metaverse created for the people should mostly benefit the people. Everyone has had enough of these institutions taking advantage of user data and effort.
With the imminent transition from web 2.0 (a centralised model) to web 3.0 (a decentralized model) the potential for a decentralized Metaverse got us thinking about what was the best way to introduce our own community to the Metaverse but in a way that our users reap real benefit, joy and knowledge for their participation.

SO WHAT WAS THIS MASSIVE REVELATION?
Through a chance meeting and after many subsequent conversations and meetings, Mainston has come to a strategic agreement with an incredible group of developers, who have worked at the highest levels in platform development and cryptocurrency from the very beginning. This group firmly believes in the value of decentralisation and wish to gift their most recent project to a community who share their ethos.
And, luckily for us, Mainston is one such community.
Oh, and this revolutionary concept?
WELCOME TO
a new DAO platform in partnership with Mainston.
WHAT IS METADEX?
Well, it is essentially a Decentralized Autonomous Organisation (DAO) platform with a one of a kind decentralised ERC-20 token, that will aggregate tokens from all of the best Metaverse platforms, into one product allowing participants exposure to the best projects the Metaverse has to offer.
It will be very similar to an Exchange Traded Fund or ETF for one of the primary industries like energy or agriculture, however the MetaDex will primarily centre around the Metaverse, Defi, Social medium, and NFT’s.
Just imagine, if there was one cryptocurrency, that offered you the opportunity to invest in 5,8,12 or more of the most cutting edge Metaverse worlds.

Just imagine, if there was one cryptocurrency, that offered you the opportunity to invest in 5,8,12 or more of the most cutting edge Metaverse worlds.
Now imagine, you could be one of the first participants in this cryptocurrency. The only opportunity that could come close would be investing in an ETF based around computer technology in the late 1990’s. This is the opportunity that the MetaDex offers.
The MetaDex team is focused on providing a quality platform above all else, and based on our conversations, we are convinced that once awareness about this project grows, it will take off like something we have never witnessed before.
One important aspect describes how the protocol will build its own treasury; participants will have the opportunity to acquire this new token at discount price, directly funding the protocol treasury, through an innovative win-win bonding mechanism.
Also, participants would be able to decide how the protocol treasury will be used thanks to the DAO voting system.
The protocol will offer DeFi financial tools such as liquidity pools, to facilitate swaps between tokens, and farming, to optimize profits.
The MetaDex team considers this new venture to be a first of its kind in the world; a fully decentralized platform equipped with a democratic voting system specifically designed to protect against whale manipulation and hate speech. In addition, it entails a reputational ranking system based on interested participation in each voting subject, and various other constitutional benefits for the users/creators on the platform.
In addition to granting access to a Trillion dollar industry, this new token (ERC-20) will greatly increase the risk/reward ratio involved when actually choosing between various Metaverse projects as the volatility of the crypto market can sometimes lead to substantial losses to the participant.
WHEN WILL IT BE AVAILABLE?
The MetaDex is currently in the final stages of its development and once ready, it will be programmed to perform as a completely independent DAO. The plan is to introduce the MetaDex platform to the world in November 2022 and with it change the landscape of crypto investment, forever.
As the future of commerce is unquestionably decentralized and the future of crypto is the Metaverse, the MetaDex is the lovechild of the two and getting in early is your best chance to succeed in securing wealth.
The MetaDex will be completely decentralized so that data and decision making will all be owned and handled by the community through voting, and each member will benefit from their interactions and additions to the community.

METADEX TEAM.
WHO ARE THEY?
The MetaDex is composed of an anonymous team of elite creators, developers, cryptographers, infrastructure engineers and researchers with diverse cultural backgrounds who work remotely and are spread across 4 continents.
To protect the integrity of their work, they have only ever worked anonymously, and from our perspective, this is an admirable quality. Having connected with two members of the team through various means, we are more than satisfied with their legacy.
These highly skilled professionals have developed code for some of the most prominent blockchains available today and are in the process of completing their latest project.

This NFT card will be your initial access to MetaDex.
THE MetaSton NFT WILL BE DISPERSED ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING CRITERIUM:
Black Imperium
The top 50 clients who have locked the most STON will receive the Black Imperium MetaSton NFT and with it become eligible to receive the largest airdrop of the MetaDex tokens, as well as a host of other advantages including a discount on acquiring more of the new token for a short period of time.
Gold Win
The next 200 clients with the largest amount of STON locked will receive the Gold Win MetaSton NFT which will include a substantial amount of airdropped tokens as well as many other promotions, discounts and advantages.
Silver Mint
All other Ston owners who participate will receive the Silver Mint MetaSton NFT, which will also allow exclusive access to the MetaDex, in addition to the airdropped tokens and early access to promotions from the platform.
* Only the first 9,999 participants (after the top 250) will be eligible to receive the NFT MetaSton Silver Mint.
The MetaSTON NFT’s will be created and visible on the OpenSea Platform beginning May 2nd 2022
After October 1st, a snapshot of participants will be taken and all of the MetaSTON will be minted and dispersed to the owners. This will be the ONLY MetaSton NFT’s ever minted. At this point, MetaSTON owners will be free to sell their NFT’s on OpenSea if they choose.
However, keep in mind that MetaSton NFT holders will be the only ones eligible to receive free token airdrops of the newly developed MetaDex token as well as other rewards based on their card level.
As time passes there is bound to be more airdrops and more rewards based on the nature of the DAO.
Also, remember that MetaDex will not have been made available to the public before 1st of November 2022.
Sell at your own risk!
MetaSton NFT cards will be available for off-chain viewing on OpenSea starting May 2nd, but will not be minted until after Oct. 1st due to the campaign.
In essence, Ston holders will will only need to pledge their Ston to the campaign for the duration of the summer 2022 to gain access to the future of a trillion dollar industry!
HOW WILL THIS IMPACT THE FUTURE OF THE STON?
Imagine if you could gain access to each one of these simply by locking you Ston for one quarter of the year?
This is the opportunity Mainston will offer you from May 2nd to October 1st 2022.
You have a small window gain the type of financial security you’ve always dreamed of, will you take it?
Locked STON will drastically reduce sell pressure on the token, and at the same time, MetaSTON NFT campaign will boost buy pressure on the token. Each of these factors will positively impact the STON token price.
Ston holders who take advantage of this campaign will be able enter this new and disruptive technology with a leg up on the competition. They will be eligible to receive any and all airdrops from MetaDex due to their involvement in the MetaSton campaign.
Behind the scenes, Mainston will also continue to innovate and create opportunities within the passive income model which could include but is not exclusive to the Metaverse industry. One thing that is a virtual certainty is that as the value of Ston increases, the value of the MetaSton will also increase, and this kind of exposure will only increase the notoriety, utility and value of Ston.
As the hype surrounding the Metaverse continues to grow, there will be many projects that create very sustainable and lucrative upgrades to their tech which will vastly increase their value.

WHY WAS MAINSTON CHOSEN TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST COMMUNITY TO ACCESS METADEX?
The answer is three-fold.
First, Mainston’s principle strategy is to take a step forward into Metaverse, and introduce our own community to this life-changing technology.
Secondly, Mainston’s transactional Crypto Gateway has been designed as a modular super ex-changer (see introduction), giving it the flexibility and interoperability required for such a decentralised mechanism.
Finally and most importantly, Mainston is composed of an extremely loyal, capable, committed and well trained community, with participants who are willing and qualified to promote this type of revolutionary initiative.
In essence, Mainston has been built and primed for exactly the situation that now presents itself. Through our hard work and desire to achieve our goals, we have manifested our perfect scenario.

METAVERSE AND NFT KEY CONCEPTS
WHAT IS AN NFT?
NFT’s are tokens that we can use to represent ownership of unique items. NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token meaning it is not interchangeable with other items because of its unique properties. Take for example a piece of art. Once it is minted (or verified) as an NFT, the creator can name their price and sell it on a digital marketplace as a one-of-a-kind art piece. And because it is on a blockchain, it cannot be forged or manipulated in any way.
WHO’S NAME IS ON AN NFT?
WHO OWNS IT?
NFT’s are owned by their creator unless they decide to sell in which case they can transfer ownership over to the buyer, just like you would sell or buy a house or real estate. If you own a house and you decide to sell it, once the agreement and payment has been received, you no longer own the house. It is the same for an NFT.
WHAT IS OPENSEA?
OpenSea is the world’s largest general marketplace for selling user-owned digital items, while supporting multiple blockchains and offering the broadest set of categories for new emerging digital item classes. OpenSea is essentially Ebay for NFT sales with over 600k users, 80M NFT’s and sales volume of over 20B USD.
WHAT IS THE METAVERSE?
The Metaverse can be defined as a simulated digital environment that uses augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and blockchain, along with concepts from social media, to create spaces for rich user interaction mimicking the real world. In the Metaverse, users can buy land, own companies, have meetings, and even host live events like parties and concerts, engaging with possibly millions of users all through the use of their VR headset.
What is THE METAVERSE MARKET for the next 3-5-10 years?
In the next 10 years, the market share for Metaverse firms is expected to increase by to 14 times its current value of 47 Billion USD, amassing a valuation of over 650 Billion to 1 Trillion USD by 2028. Increased user adoption coupled with the growing demand for cryptocurrency to purchase digital assets in the Metaverse is expected to drive the market significantly.
In the short term, Metaverse token prices are coupled with the overall cryptocurrency market but this is expected to change over the next 3-5 years as more and more large institutions (think banks, social media, and financial services) start to conduct business within various Metaverse projects, adding both utility and adoption to the overall Metaverse industry. For example, JP Morgan has launched a virtual lounge where users can visit and engage in business or simply sit back and watch company pundits discuss the use of cryptocurrency in the Metaverse.
Disney is developing a Metaverse theme park to allow users to engage and interact with the sensations of being at a Disney park, but from anywhere around the globe. Who needs to travel to Disneyland Paris, and rent a car or hotel room, when you can have the sensation of riding a newly designed 3d rollercoaster from the comfort of your living room? This is level of satisfaction the Metaverse will bring and this in itself is only the tip of the iceberg.
WHAT IS
THE SANDBOX?
The Sandbox is a venture backed (centralized), virtual metaverse where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences on the Ethereum blockchain using the platform’s utility token SAND. Players can create digital assets in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), upload them to the marketplace, and integrate them into games with Game Maker.
A LAND is a digital piece of real estate in The Sandbox Metaverse that players can buy to build experiences on. Once a player owns a piece of LAND, they will be able to populate it with games and ASSETS. Multiple LANDS can be combined to form an ESTATE.
WHAT IS
DECENTRALAND?
Decentraland is a 3D virtual world browser-based platform. Boasting a user base of over 300k monthly active users, Decentraland allows users to buy virtual plots of land in the platform as NFTs via the MANA cryptocurrency, which uses the Ethereum blockchain.
Decentraland is also the first fully decentralised virtual world. Through their DAO, the community gets to decide on what changes/updates are allowed. In Decentraland, users can buy and sell digital real estate, while exploring, interacting and playing games within this virtual world.
