Welcome back Risky Rascals! Since we had a major influx of reading about the previous metaverse, I figured we should keep it going on a project that has innovation written all over it!!
Let's answer the first question, what does cross-chain metaverse entail?
A cross-chain metaverse means that there are multiple blockchains that can interact with this metaverse. For instance, Virtua Prime has developed a metaverse that is capable of bringing in Cardano (ADA), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), etc...
What is Virtua Prime/Cardano Island?
For this blog, we are going to focus on Cardano Island, and it is absolutely stunning in my opinion. This project has been developing since 2017. This team is fully doxxed and hosts multiple Ask Me Anythings during the week to connect with the community. It was previously known as Terra Virtua. This was where the Cardano Summit NFTs were originally launched. Now, I won't be able to talk about every amazing thing about this project there isn't enough time or space on this one blog to cover it all, but let's dive into why I have invested in this metaverse and why I am so bullish on it!
Cardano Island features:
-The Virtual Hub
- Academy
- C-Zone Land Plots
- Costal Cardano Towers
The white dot in the center represents the Virtual Hub which will act as the event center hosting a museum of artwork that can be purchased on the https://virtua.com/ marketplace. If you have not checked them out, I highly recommend them. The academy is going to host learning opportunities related to cryptocurrency and how to interact with the blockchain (this is huge for newcomers into the space). C-Zone Land Plots can be purchased right now as they are still minting, personally, I own a Large Common Plot (square), Small Uncommon Plot (square) and I also have a C-Zone Land Plot (Condo) The images are listed in order below along with the prices:
Now, what makes these land plots so interesting and interactive by having resources to mine as well as holding slots for Land Bots, Summit NFT Slots, and NPC Slots.
Land Resources
-Land resources include iron, gold, sticky goo, wood, electro-rock, and Cardonium. These resources are listed in order of rarity in which they can be mined. These will be used to craft NFTs and these resources will be able to trade within the community. These will also generate passively when you are not in the metaverse but have boosts on certain days depending on the combination of bots on your land.
Land Bots
- These bots allow you to mine the resources that your plot has. For example, my small uncommon plot has the capability to hold one land bot. As the owner, you can choose what you want to mine/create from the bot that you purchase. Keep in mind that this metaverse is going to be fully interactive and will require you to spend time on it to earn rewards.
Summit NFT Slots
-I own all 7 of these Cardano Summit NFTs from attending the Virtual Summit back in October 2021. There was a scavenger hunt to locate each of these NFTs. Now owners have the opportunity to integrate these into the land that they own to create exclusive building designs that will only come from these NFTs. You can purchase them now on the secondary market here: https://www.jpg.store/collection/cardanosummit2021 More details are to be released on the rewards that you will gain from holding these particular NFTs!
NPC Slots
-These will be your characters that are located on your land. So, when you walk onto your land, these NPCs will greet you when you arrive. These will be able to purchase in the metaverse.
C-Zone Plots (Condos)
-These were created as an entry-level into this metaverse. They were priced cheaper so that everyone who wanted to be a part of this community could still have a place. The image of one is located up above. The really cool incentive to purchasing one of these is that they come with a yacht that will be fully functional in the metaverse!
Now, if you have made it this far and you are still unsure and not sold on the idea of this metaverse there are a few more details that they have in the bag!
Massive partnerships:
- Nitro league Games https://twitter.com/nitroleaguegame

- They will be going on WenMint World Podcast soon so stay tuned for that. You can listen in on any major stream service!
-Partnership with Space Pugs Alpha
Wow! That was a ton of information and I barely scratched the surface on this amazing project. Please remember that none of this information was financial advice and all of these thoughts are my own! I have invested in this project from my own research and I have laid out the reasons why I believe this project is going to be a good investment for me.
Thank you for checking out today's blog, and stay tuned for more great posts coming in the future!
Stay Risky you Rascals!! Much love to you all! Thank you for the continued support!
