Hyperfys market value quickly reached 280M in half a day. Is the AI+ concept bringing the Metaverse back?

Hyperfy, a Metaverse land project launched two years ago, launched a surprise token sale this morning, and within 10 hours of its launch, its market value quickly reached US$280 million, with a daily trading volume of US$80 million.

Today, with the rapid development of the AI Agent market, the huge vision inevitably makes people compare it to the previous concept of the Metaverse. Trends are a circle, and so is the market. After a long journey, the Metaverse concept has been reactivated by AI again. Although it has been mentioned countless times and failed countless times, the market seems unwilling to let go of this cyberpunk future concept, as if there is an invisible hand behind us pushing us infinitely to that technological singularity. Is Hyperfy a new round of rehashing or is it the right soil for the revival of the Metaverse under the blessing of AI?

AI-driven, NFT Summer鈥檚 Metaverse Land Project Returns to the 市场

In the NFT Summer of 2022, a batch of metaverse land and real estate projects emerged, including Decentraland, Cryptovoxels, and Sandbox. Today, the metaverse platform project of that time, hyperfy, has appeared in the market again.

Hyperfy is a metaverse platform designed to make it easy for anyone to create rich, immersive virtual worlds. Hyperfy is instantly available through any web browser, including mobile phones and VR headsets such as Meta Quest 3. Like other land projects, as long as you own the land, you can obtain ownership of it. Its built-in tools can create almost any scene, gallery, venue, club, store, portfolio, educational experience, game, leisure place, users can import 2D and 3D NFT directly from the wallet or add 3D models, pictures, audio and video directly into the world. And what happens in this world happens in real time.

If it follows this path, it will not be much different from other metaverse land projects. The turning point is when it meets ai16z. Just this morning, hyperfy suddenly announced its revision on Twitter, from a metaverse platform to an immersive space platform that empowers AI agents, and open sourced all its tools and layers, and integrated with Eliza-based AI Agents in version V2. This means that it has changed from metaverse to Sigma of AI Agents, an infinite multiverse that can interact with Agents.

With the purchase signal from Shaws on-chain address and the obvious cooperation promotion of multiple tweets from ai16z community members, the markets bullishness on this new concept has reached its peak, and the sentiment has evolved into a continuous rise in market value. Then, ai16z DAO member Jin posted a thread about how he and metamike helped hyperfy improve project documents and provided several usage scenarios in the past few months, revealing the true value of this project.

Scenario 1: AI Council

AI agents trained in working groups, different projects or user case studies can discuss proposals and assist in decision making, and are ready for integration with ElizaOS in V2.

Scenario 2: Stonk 交换

You can watch the real-time transactions of AI agents directly in a scene similar to a stock exchange, and you may be able to complete the real-time data + final optimization on the screen in a week.

Scenario 3: Interoperable Pets

tubbycatsnft is a CC0 NFT. Last fall, the team optimized the assembly of all 20k 3d models. It is a good container for small local-first models. Its optimized models are more suitable for the future VR version of Hyperfys pet system.

More scenes: pmairca parody Marc conference room, AI as a judge in the game show world, 3D data visualization ai16z Treasury Wallet Visualization, 加密货币currency vending machine.

It is not difficult to imagine that the difference between this AI+Metaverse concept and the last one is the addition of the variable AI Agent. This also makes this narrative more practical. At this stage, hardware technology cannot make people feel the same as the real world in the virtual world. But it is different for AI Agents. For them, this is their real world. Under this platform, AI Agents and AI Agents, humans and AI Agents can communicate most intuitively, while before that they were just data codes or text images. Compared with a huge Metaverse, the small worlds of hyperfy are more like the multiverse of AI Agents. This is the AI version of Figama that can satisfy the fantasy world in your and AIs brains.

Before Hyperfy became popular, founder Ash Connell released a token with the same name as Shaw on November 11. After clicking on the Hyperfy platform, you can find Shaws milady image actually existing in a world. Although real-time conversation is not possible, its purpose is obvious. That is, in the future V2, an AI Agent in the ai16z system will be used as a case study.

On the other hand, in addition to frantically swiping the screen with content related to Hyperfy, Shaw also confessed today the mysterious community he has been in for several years – M3 Metaverse Makers. Coincidentally, the name is the same as the American street slang You know what I am saying, as if asking us, the audience, the engine or the bigger vision of the 3D AI Agent world that they will bring, are you ready to understand?

The M3 Twitter banner prominently displays the names of a group of virtual characters, including ASH, the founder of Hyperfy, which was released today, Jin, who helped upgrade its product deck, and 7OROY, an excellent 3D artist, and many other well-known figures. It is hard not to sense that there is a conspiracy to create huge energy.

BlockBeats will continue to observe and track whether they can use AI to bring about a true Metaverse or whether it is just another huge bubble.
