While this is really cool and not actively a bad thing like NFTs, I don't see much use for a decentralized metaverse. You can already just self-host a metaverse with your friends on LAN or a custom server, and share with people far away on the ordinary web.
IMO decentralization really shines in critical areas like mesh-nets and (ethics aside) illegal exchanges, where there is no decent central authority and anyone can be an adversary. The internet and existing infrastructure is not 100% decentralized, but it's fair enough for a fun project like the metaverse.

- thetoon 4y agoI don't know about standards-based, but Vircadia is interesting (and simple to self-host). Mozilla Hubs is easier to use, but much harder to self-host unless you follow their recommandation and use AWS.
