When it comes to the metaverse, many people think it's an illusory concept. But in reality, it has already become the most imaginative application destination for Web3. Through the combination of virtual real estate and digital identity, we are building a complete parallel world.

Take projects like Hong Kong Digital City as an example—brands can open virtual stores, and users can complete payments directly with their wallets. All asset settlements are conducted on-chain. This is not a gimmick, but a real business closed-loop. Transactions, consumption, and settlements in virtual spaces all become traceable on the blockchain.

What is the significance of this model? First, it breaks down the boundaries between virtual and real—your purchases and ownership in the metaverse are as valuable as real assets. Second, brands gain a brand-new marketing platform, and user experience becomes more immersive. Finally, ownership rights and verification become possible; every virtual asset can truly belong to you.

As Web3 infrastructure becomes more complete, the imagination space for metaverse business will continue to expand.

On-chain asset rights confirmation does have some substance, but it still depends on whether the ecosystem can really take off. --- I've been paying attention to Hong Kong Digital City for a while, and the brand participation isn't as high as I imagined. --- Virtual real estate is indeed valuable, but the question is how liquid it is. --- It's all about the metaverse and parallel worlds, sounds grand, but where are the actual users? --- Wallet direct settlement logic is fine, as long as there are real consumers. --- Ownership rights confirmation sounds good, but the question remains whether virtual assets can maintain their value. --- Improving Web3 infrastructure is a prerequisite; as for the current progress... hmm. --- I just want to ask, how many people are actually willing to spend money in the metaverse? --- Brand virtual stores are more of a marketing gimmick, and their sustainability is uncertain. --- On-chain traceability does solve the trust issue, which is a real advantage.

On-chain settlement is indeed mysterious, but I need to see more data from Hong Kong Digital City before I believe it. --- Sounds good, but the real question is whether anyone would spend money in virtual shops. I just can't figure it out. --- Another round of concept hype, right? Web3 infrastructure is still not fully developed? Wake up. --- Virtual asset rights confirmation is somewhat reliable, but the ecosystem is too empty. --- Wait, new carrier for brand marketing... I've heard that two years ago, haha. --- Ownership confirmation is no problem, but who would really spend money on virtual real estate? --- I don't deny the logic of a closed commercial loop, but user base size is crucial. --- Parallel worlds sound exciting, but in reality, it still depends on DAU and trading volume data.

honestly the whole "proof of ownership in the metaverse" thing is just derrida's différance but make it tokenized... like yeah on-chain settlement is elegant but are we really deconstructing the virtual/real binary or just reproducing capitalist logic in a new aesthetic wrapper lol

Hong Kong Digital City? Isn't this just another way of packaging virtual land speculation as Web3, with project teams using the same talking points. I have to save up for my three kids' formula money, so I can't dare to chase after these forked imaginative ideas.

That's correct. On-chain transactions have indeed changed the game, and virtual assets finally have genuine ownership value.

Real on-chain asset verification—that's the core of the metaverse, not those flashy concepts.

This logic sounds reasonable, but the ones who can really make money are still those who entered early.
