Our Podcast is Changing Names to the Metasync Podcast starting next week. In this episode we talk first about the high risk Star Atlas Once again, and then we talk about the future of Metaverse Assets.
Is Fluf World a major metaverse player?
What is Star Atlas?
We spend most of the episode talking about these two questions. We take a look at how Fluf World has created such a cool community and vast NFT ecosystem. We dive into what makes the community fun and what to watch in the future. We then move to Star Atlas and take a look at their roadmap, development, and high risk zones. It sounds like Star Atlas has a vision to create the most intense metaverse game that will include gaining political power, joining guilds, and even defeating other players for assets.
