Zilliqa Group, an integrated group developing Web3 and blockchain-based products and solutions, announced the relaunch of its UAE-based metaverse venture under a new identity, MetaMinds.
The rebrand follows a major restructuring of the business as it accelerates efforts to redefine the virtual world landscape.
The re-launched venture will be spearheaded by Sandra Helou, a recognised pioneer and prominent figure in Web3 development, as the CEO.
She will also hold the position of GCC Lead for Zilliqa Group’s newly established CEO Office, underscoring the group’s conviction in the region’s growth potential.
MetaMinds, previously known as Metapolis, was launched just over a year ago in Miami and is headquartered in the UAE.
The rebrand represents a pivotal shift in the company’s focus towards spatial web development as it endeavors to drive the evolution of the engaged internet in a more meaningful manner.
Zilliqa Group said its new identity also better represents the company’s consultative approach to creating customised digital world solutions for clients.
Max Kantelia, Co-Founder, Zilliqa Group, explains said the restructuring of MetaMinds aims to bridge the divide between technological capabilities and user demands, ensuring we remain at the forefront of metaverse innovation, while co-creating impactful solutions that demonstrate the real-world utility of the metaverse as a spatial web platform.
As the world’s first Metaverse-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform provider, MetaMinds harnesses spatial web technologies to craft immersive experiences for clients.
Its multi-tenant architecture enables diverse user groups to have personalised virtual world experiences, while sharing the same platform infrastructure and product line.
“It’s a mistake to think the metaverse is dead. Spatial web and Web3 technologies continue to develop at a rapid rate – IOT, AI, AR, VR, blockchain to name a few,” said Helou.
“Our restructuring means we are doubling down on spatial web development when building out metaverse experiences and tapping into our collective intelligence and skill sets across the wider Zilliqa Group to work with clients on how best to transform their businesses with these technologies,” she added.
MetaMinds said currently it is in the beta testing phase for several immersive world projects across various sectors, including eSports, luxury, government, and healthcare, with imminent announcements planned.
