Metaverse in Iran

As we said, in the same year 2021, the idea of ​​Metaverse became a trend in Iran. This popularity was to such an extent that in some internal online ad registration platforms, ads with the subject of selling land in Metaverse are seen. Of course, the registrants of these advertisements were mostly looking for a kind of intermediary for buying and selling virtual items available on Decentraland and Sandbox platforms.

As it can be seen from the appearance of the story, most of these advertisements had an intermediary aspect. That is, some people who had previously experienced buying and selling land and other virtual items in Dicentraland and Sandbox gave advice to people who had less information in this field. Or they used to buy land on these platforms as an intermediary on their behalf.

It should be noted that some of these platforms removed the content related to buying and selling land in Metaverse or investing in Metaverse from their list of ads after a few days.

As you probably know, buying and selling of land or any other virtual product related to active platforms in the metaverse is usually done in the dedicated markets of these platforms or the well-known non-currency token (NFT) markets.

Therefore, there is no need to go to intermediaries to buy land on active platforms in the Metaverse field, and if someone has experience working with digital currency platforms, he can buy virtual items by connecting his wallet to Decentraland, Sandbox or other programs, or to sell

Also, many companies and collections started training Metaverse and held courses and webinars. An association with the name Iran Metavers Association It was formed in 1400 and Iranian metaverses They started working.

The first Iranian metaverse was a project called KishVR. KishVR was the result of the cooperation of developers from Iran and Qatar. This metaverse was designed with the inspiration of Kish Island and had three layers:

• The first layer or the beach strip was for the establishment of recreational clubs
• The second layer was dedicated to commercial buildings
• The third layer was for more strategic buildings like airports

Of course, it is not bad to mention that the history of Metaverse in the world and in Iran is longer. Some people consider metaverse as equivalent to virtual reality. This definition is not wrong in any way. The truth is that the metaverse is virtual reality or VR in its original state.

Metaverse challenges in Iran

Despite the history we have mentioned of Metaverse in Iran, this concept in our country is also associated with challenges. The most important challenges of Metaverse in Iran are:

• Filtering
• Legislation
• lack of awareness
• identity

Filtering

One of the most important challenges that can threaten Metaverse in our country is the issue of filtering. Of course, famous metaverse platforms such as Dicentraland and Sandbox have not yet been filtered in Iran. However, the risk of filtering cannot be completely ignored and it is better not to use Iranian IP to enter these platforms.

Legislation

One of the other challenges is the legislative issue. Metaverse has not yet been officially legislated in our country. Of course, this does not mean that it is illegal, but possible future legislation may affect its use.

lack of awareness

Lack of awareness is one of the factors that lead to misuse of new technologies and pessimism of people towards these technologies. The same issue existed in connection with digital currencies and now it exists in connection with Metaverse as one of the achievements of these currencies.

Increasing awareness of new technologies will help you enter their world without the need for an intermediary. This is especially true of blockchain and digital currencies. The nature of blockchain is to decentralize and eliminate intermediaries, and relying on intermediaries to enter the world of blockchain is not only necessary, but also problematic.

identity

This challenge is not limited to our country. The issue of identity became a challenge after the emergence of concepts such as metaverse and artificial intelligence.

Can the identity of people in virtual worlds like Metaverse replace their real identity? How reliable is digital identity? What are the risks of digital identity? What are the regulations related to digital identity? These are the questions and concerns that need to be answered in relation to Metaverse.
