General
What is MetaHi?
MetaHi is a marketplace of 3D items for the Metaverse!
What is the Metaverse?
A metaverse is a shared, immersive virtual universe in which participants, generally represented by avatars, may interact with one another, build experiences, and design in-world items and landscapes. Users can purchase, sell, and trade digital real estate, commodities, avatar accessories, and other objects in metaverses, which often have their own intrinsic economies and currencies. The metaverse can be accessed by a computer, virtual reality (VR) headset, or smartphone.
A crypto metaverse, in particular, is a metaverse that uses blockchain as its underlying technology and crypto assets, such as metaverse tokens, in its economy. Decentraland , The Sandbox, and Cryptovoxels are examples of crypto metaverses and protocols that integrate metaverse aspects.
What is Blockchain?
Blockchain is a type of shared database that differs from a typical database in the way it stores information, blockchains store data in connected blocks. As new data arrives, it is added to a new block. Once the block has been filled with data, it is chained onto the previous block, putting the data in chronological sequence. A blockchain may store several types of data, but its most popular application so far has been as a transaction ledger. Decentralized blockchains are immutable, which implies that data input is irreversible, and transactions are forever recorded and viewed by everyone.
What are gas fees?
The gas fee is a small amount of fee paid to blockchain validators for their service to validate the transactions.
What are blockchain validators?
A blockchain validator is someone who validates transactions on the blockchain. Once a specific number of validators have validated the transaction, they will get a small amount of the transaction as a reward. This is a gas fee. Validators in the Proof of Work system, such as Bitcoin, are miners that solve complex math problems to validate transactions. Validators in the Proof of Stake system stake a certain amount of tokens and participate in the transaction verification process.
Which blockchains does MetaHi support?
MetaHi supports the Polygon blockchain and we’re aiming for the marketplace to be multi-chain which means we'll support multiple blockchains at the same time.
What is Polygon?
Polygon is a blockchain that differs from other blockchains with high speed of transactions and low fees.
What is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)?
Non-Fungible Tokens are the items that are constructed using the same type of programming used for cryptocurrencies thus they are built on blockchain technology. Understanding fungible and non-fungible tokens may be aided by familiarity with the idea of fungibility in economics. Tokens or assets that are fungible are divisible and non-unique. Fiat currencies, such as the dollar, are fungible: A $1 bill is the same everywhere in the world. A fungible token can also be a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin: 1 BTC is equivalent to 1 BTC no matter who has it or where they bought it. Non-fungible assets, on the other hand, are one-of-a-kind and cannot be divided. They should be regarded as a form of deed or title of possession to a unique, non-replicable item. A flight ticket, for example, is non-fungible since there cannot be another of the same sort due to its unique data. Because they are unique, a home, a boat, or a car are non-fungible physical assets. The underlying technology that can easily verify ownership of an intangible digital property is blockchain. The primary distinction between fungible and non-fungible assets is the content they store. While fungible tokens, such as Bitcoin, store value, and non-fungible tokens, such as artwork or a piece of music, store data.
