MyZubster is developing a privacy-focused metaverse connected to its circular marketplace. This experimental metaverse, called MyZubster World, allows registered users to interact using verified, persistent characters linked to their accounts. The system prioritizes server-side verification to prevent identity impersonation. Implemented features include verified character identities, server-saved mission progress, and shared presence synchronization through a pragmatic polling system. Virtual rooms are introduced with controlled lifecycles and customizable access policies: public, authenticated, and private. Private rooms offer enhanced security through cryptographically generated, time-limited, and one-time use invitation codes. Privacy is deeply integrated into the architecture with features like excluding private rooms from discovery and using short-lived authentication tokens. MyZubster World aims to serve as a visual gateway to the marketplace, fostering discovery, learning, collaboration, and exchange across various communities. They are researching Monero integration for privacy-conscious transactions, focusing on secure payment verification and operational aspects. Future development plans include improved room moderation tools, connecting live sessions to the immersive environment, and transforming marketplace categories into explorable virtual destinations. The project emphasizes building in public as an open-source initiative, focusing on robust foundational components before enhancing the visual experience.
