Introduction:

From movies such as Tron to the recent Ready Player One, creating and bridging the physical with the virtual is not only an aim and a dream — it is a necessity as the metaverse allows us to blur the boundaries of reality.

From being a dragon trainer and making money out of it, an esports star, or just building your ideal world, the metaverse defines our future.

That is why Space bridges traditional commerce into Web3 experiences.

We look forward to discovering our next superstar. Is that you?
