ISTANBUL (TR) - Blockchain technologies have gained one of Turkey’s most robust user bases since they started to become widespread. Following the interest shown in cryptocurrencies, our country also showed interest in the metaverse, one of the central concepts of technology called Web 3.0 and defined as the next version of the internet, together with global users. In Turkey, where new technology trends are followed closely with the Forum Metaverse event held at the end of March, the final concrete output of the interest in metaverse technology came from the investment consultancy company Trem Global. The company made one of the firsts by announcing its investments in the metaverse platform called MetaAge, which was developed on the Solana blockchain.

MetaAge Co-Founder and Project Manager Mustafa Ekinci, who shared his evaluations on the subject, said, “With MetaAge, which we developed on the Solana blockchain network, we enable Turkey to safely enter the domestic virtual universe and share this universe with global users. The platform, which can now be experienced on our Alpha version website, was opened to all users on April 23.

Users will also be able to earn income while developing games

Metaverse projects are mostly offered with their own currencies. According to CoinMarketCap data, the local currencies of metaverse projects such as Decentraland, ApeCoin and SandBox are in the top three places with market values ​​of billions of dollars, while virtual universes create large economies. Reminding that MetaAge, built on the Solana blockchain, will be offered with its own currency, $AGE, Mustafa Ekinci said, “Users can purchase parcels that we call LAND using this currency can build a store, art gallery or any building with the MetaAge Building System. MetaAge also includes a game production system. In this way, MetaAge users can create their metaverse games. On the other hand, users can experience the basic games and socializing mini-games offered by MetaAge with the play-win method, alone or with other users.”

April 23 was also celebrated on the metaverse!

MetaAge Co-Founder and Project Manager Mustafa Ekinci, who emphasized that Turkey showed its vision to be the pioneer of these new concepts with the Forum Metaverse event organized at the end of March, ended his evaluations with the following statements: “We are very excited about Web 3.0 technology. We can define this new internet concept, which feeds off the augmented reality technology and removes the borders, as the reinvention of not only social media but also the internet. Metaverse, one of the central concepts of Web 3.0, is closely followed by the business world. One of our business partners, Trem Global, an investment consultancy company, held its first metaverse meeting at MetaAge. Our Alpha version, which we opened to all internet users on April 23, also hosted a ceremony celebrating our National Sovereignty and Children's Day. Our National Anthem echoed in the metaverse. Thus, we celebrated April 23 at MetaAge, where there are 27 avatars in the test version, and various P2E-F2P games can be played. We will provide free lifetime access to the first users of this universe, where we will offer unlimited possibilities.”
