Web3 and Metaverse are recognized as the next trend, attracting a large number of users' attention and participation. From the scene editor in Minecraft, to DecentreLand, and the way players decorate their virtual lands in Sandbox. People hold various activities in the virtual world, such as concerts, festival celebrations or competitions, games and even weddings, etc., which has become a reality in the Metaverse. All this is no longer just in people's imagination, but is actually happening around us, and anyone can easily join it.
In the movie "Ready Player One", every character has his or her own identity. The integration of Web3 and the Metaverse has brought more interesting and participatory gameplay to everyone, but at the same time, people have also realized the value of virtual digital identities. As an important infrastructure for Web3 and the Metaverse, virtual identity is also a key focus of the market.
Lifeform takes visual DID (decentralized identity) as its main direction and provides digital virtual identity solutions for Web3 and the Metaverse. Lifeform innovatively uses the UE5 engine for hyper-realistic 3D virtual identity, and plans to combine virtual 3D characters, data, assets, DID decentralized identity, games, social networking and P2E to provide players with a metaverse that is integrated with reality. Experience the environment. Using virtual identity as a carrier to organically combine users' on-chain data and behaviors, Lifeform provides users with a one-stop Web3 aggregation experience.
Previously, Lifeform received a seed round of financing led by Binance Labs. During the development of the project, it received support and promotion from Binance Labs.
Solve industry pain points and expand application scenarios
Although the Metaverse is very popular, there are also some obvious problems. Take Zuckerberg's Meta as an example. Although Meta can provide users with virtual identity portraits, Meta is centralized, the available scenarios are limited, and the user's digital portrait does not really belong to the user. At the same time, Meta’s content and data are all generated by users, but users cannot share the benefits generated by Meta.
Looking back at the current Decentraland and Sandbox in Web3, although they adopt a decentralized model, they can allow players to participate in more scenes in the metaverse, while also ensuring the value of players' digital assets. However, they have shortcomings in the aesthetics and experience of personal 3D virtual identity. In Sandbox and Decentraland, users' respective digital portraits cannot be used in each other's scenes, forming information islands, similar to the compatibility issues of computer systems we mentioned.
To solve the problems of virtual identity, Lifeform has planned a complete set of solutions. First, Lifeform designed hyper-realistic 3D avatars for players and integrated them with NFT to provide Web3 players with decentralized visual digital identities and corresponding Web3 login credentials, which can be used in products such as GameFi. Then, Lifeform will also cooperate with more important projects, in which players can use Lifeform virtual digital identity NFT to log in, display in DApps, etc. Currently, Lifeform has reached cooperative relationships with multiple project parties to maximize the expandability and composability of Lifeform virtual digital identity.
In addition to Web3 application scenarios, Lifeform is also compatible with Web2 user experience. Users can also log in using Web2 accounts or email addresses, and supports the application of 3D virtual identities to applications such as Google Meet, Zoom, Discord, and Tiktok.
We can think of Lifeform as a decentralized digital virtual human that is common to all platforms, with personal DID information bound to it, allowing users to realize a decentralized version of the "Ready Player One" scenario.
From DID to visual DID
Decentralized visual digital identity Visual DID, also known as visual DID, is the core of Lifeform’s multi-scenario application in the metaverse.
The existing DID saves the user's personal information on the chain, and binds the wallet to the identity on the chain through NFT or SBT. In addition to being compatible with DID standards, visual DID provides users with a complete set of 3D virtual character models, allowing people to see the player's virtual 3D image in DID application scenarios, improving the player's visual and psychological experience. For example, we can see virtual characters made using Lifeform at the Metaverse Virtual Dance Party or Metaverse Virtual Concert, thereby achieving better interaction and visual effects.
Lifeform provides players and DApp developers with a virtual human editor and corresponding DID protocols, smart contracts and other tools and software, which can help players achieve an in-depth experience of the metaverse. We can think of it as a visual 3D virtual character , can be used to participate in various activities in the metaverse.
Over 10 billion combinations to meet individual needs
Lifeform's virtual human editor can help people create their own avatar, which mainly contains 7 creation parts. Each part has more than 1,000 components. Users can create more than 10 billion avatar combinations, and users can customize various personalizations. A unique virtual image.
Lifeform provides users with a variety of editor systems, including facial features, body shape, style, makeup, actions, scenes and special effects editor systems. Players can generate their own 3D virtual reality through any combination of components in these editor systems. figure.
In order to reduce the difficulty for users to create 3D avatars, Lifeform provides a large number of templates for players to choose from. After the avatar combination is completed, it can be made into NFT. Through the use of NFT, Lifefrom can expand more Web3 application scenarios.
Lifeform application scenarios
If you only have a virtual character identity, it is not enough to support the popularization of the Metaverse and Web3 to the public. Lifeform empowers Lifeform by combining users’ digital identities with real life and providing users with more interactive scenarios.
Players can participate in the P2E chain to earn profits in the game, they can also conduct NFT transactions in the mall, or participate in the Metaverse social network to create their own UGC circle, thereby creating a sustainable positive cycle and healthy ecology. Moreover, the potential benefits and value influence this interaction brings to players are real and cannot be underestimated.
Links Web2 and Web3
Lifeform supports both Web2 and Web3 account logins. This method takes into account the user experience of Web2 users. Using an encrypted wallet requires self-keeping of private keys, which puts certain requirements on Web2 users. Use Web2 social accounts or email to log in. This part of the risk can be reduced. For Web3 native users, you can also log in through the wallet. This setting meets the needs of both Web2 and Web3 users, and can also reduce the difficulty for players to convert from Web2 to Web3 worlds.
Lifeform will also combine multiple brand IPs and put brand-customized NFT accessories on the shelves to help Web2 or traditional brands expand in the Web3 and Metaverse markets, attracting more Web2 users to Web3.
Lifeform brings more innovation to the industry
Lifeform makes the combination of Web3 and the metaverse more realistic. In the Metaverse, virtual characters are the key core, but the currently released projects are still limited by various reasons and cannot provide users with a more realistic Metaverse virtual environment, including the user's virtual character settings, etc. People still experience the Metaverse like they were playing low-definition games from a few years ago.
Lifeform has changed this situation. It provides a 3D editor to help users generate their own virtual identity image NFT, lowering the threshold for everyone to obtain 3D characters. At the same time, it combines with DID to make personal identity unique in the metaverse and avoid Issues such as false identity. On this basis, Lifeform is working with many partners to promote the application of virtual identities in multiple scenarios. In addition to Web2's Zoom, Google Meet or various live broadcast platforms, it will also add multiple Web3 scenarios, such as Web3 games or Web3 Party, concert, AMA or other various activities.
In addition to gaining an experience close to reality in these scenes, players can also participate in P2E to obtain benefits. Through unique activities in the Metaverse platform, using virtual 3D images as a carrier, you can also create your own influence and fan groups, such as co-branding with traditional Web2 brands and airdropping various 3D personalized items to fan groups. Any brand or IP can use this model to expand the influence of its own brand in Web3 and realize its layout in the Web3 field.
Lifeform’s future plans
Lifeform is one of the few projects that combines the Metaverse and Web3 to receive financing from Binance Labs in its early stages. The team has also reached cooperation with a number of important projects to further promote the application of 3D virtual digital identities. At present, the team has completed the first UE5 virtual human editor. Players can use this editor to generate their own 3D virtual human characters. At the same time, Lifeform also provides the corresponding SDK to provide the creation and login of virtual human DID for the Web3 DApp platform. and many other functions.
Lifeform provides users with a set of decentralized visual identity protocols, and users can customize their own exclusive Web3 avatars through the NFT they hold. At the same time, it provides a simple and easy-to-use integration API for third-party projects. With just a few lines of code, you can implement the user's visual DID function in your own WEB3 application. At present, Lifeform SDK has been successfully connected to BurgerCities. Users can easily bind their Avatar to their wallet address and log into the Burger metaverse with Lifeform Avatar. In the future, it will continue to be connected to all major metaverses, allowing users to use the same visual identity in all metaverses at the same time. interact in the universe.
Next, the team will focus on the application scenarios of virtual characters. In 2023, it will launch the expanded metaverse scenario, promote the unification of virtual DID data, resources, assets and other standards, as well as the cross-platform and cross-scenario use of virtual DID. It will also further expand Lifeform’s influence and practical application in the metaverse.
Promote trends and help the development of Web3
The development of technology has made people's requirements for virtual world experience continue to increase, and 3D virtual humans are the future trend. Although 2D animation can reduce the demand for network resources, it does not stop the advancement of technology and people's pursuit of beautiful things. Blockchain, Metaverse and Web3 are not about retro grainy pixel quality, and Lifeform has seen this, so it chooses to provide players with a hyper-realistic 3D virtual identity editor based on high technical standards. At the same time, here Based on the DID decentralized identity, and working with more Web2 and Web3 projects to expand the blueprint of metaverse virtual reality, this will also be a reflection of people improving their experience of Web3 and keeping up with the times.
