Building a Virtual World Platform
How we helped Netvrk create a comprehensive metaverse platform with land ownership, virtual assets, and immersive experiences.
Netvrk needed to build a fully-featured metaverse platform from the ground up, including blockchain-based land ownership, a marketplace for virtual assets, and tools for users to create their own experiences.
We developed a comprehensive solution including smart contracts for land NFTs, a custom marketplace, integration with Unity for 3D rendering, and a backend infrastructure to handle thousands of concurrent users.
- Launched platform with 21,000+ land parcels sold
- Built marketplace processing $10M+ in transactions
- Created creator tools used by 500+ builders
- Achieved 99.9% uptime for smart contracts
Project Overview
Netvrk approached us with an ambitious vision: create a metaverse platform where users could own virtual land, build experiences, and monetize their creations. This required deep expertise across blockchain, 3D development, and scalable backend systems.
The Challenge
Building a metaverse platform involves numerous technical challenges:
- Blockchain Integration - Secure, gas-efficient smart contracts for land and asset ownership
- 3D Environment - Performant rendering that works across devices
- Scalability - Infrastructure to support thousands of concurrent users
- Creator Economy - Tools for users to build and monetize without coding
Our Approach
Phase 1: Foundation
We started by designing the core architecture:
- Smart contract system for land NFTs with fractional ownership support
- Scalable backend using microservices architecture
- Real-time synchronization for multiplayer experiences
Phase 2: Platform Development
With the foundation in place, we built:
- Custom marketplace for land and virtual assets
- Unity-based client with optimized asset streaming
- Creator toolkit with drag-and-drop building tools
- Admin dashboard for platform management
Phase 3: Launch & Scale
We supported the team through launch and beyond:
- Load testing and optimization for 10,000+ concurrent users
- 24/7 monitoring and incident response
- Continuous feature development based on user feedback
Results
The platform launched successfully and has grown to become one of the leading metaverse projects:
- 21,000+ land parcels sold during initial offering
- $10M+ in marketplace transaction volume
- 500+ creators actively building on the platform
- 50% faster development timeline than industry average
