Fiction writer Neil Stevenson will launch his own Lamina1 blockchain focused on metaverses and augmented reality.

The project also includes Peter Vessenes, the former head of the Bitcoin Foundation. According to him, the first iteration of the blockchain will be something between Avalanche and a “friendly fork and partnership.” However, these plans have so far in words.

Investors in the project included Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, PSL Ventures managing director Jeff Entress, billionaire Matthew Roszak, CLO Transparent Systems Patrick Merck, and DLTx COO David Johnston.

It was Neil Stevenson who first used the term “metaverse” in 1992 in Snow Crash. The book describes the metaworld as a virtual urban environment where people enter via the internet and VR glasses. The work touches on themes of social inequality, totalitarianism, advertising and virtual real estate.

“When I wrote Snow Crash, I didn’t expect video games to come out. They were the ones who made 3D graphics cheap enough to reach a wide audience,” Stevenson said.

He also suggested that most metasite development will focus on monitors rather than VR headsets.

The testnet and beta version of Lamina1 is scheduled to be released at the end of 2022. The developers’ ultimate goal is to create an immersive 3D metaverse inspired by Stevenson’s novel.

Recall that in April, American rapper Snoop Dogg announced that he would create digital marijuana farms in the metaverse of the MOBLAND project.
