VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Metasphere Labs Inc. (“Metasphere” or the “Company”) (CSE: LABZ) (OTC: LABZF) (FRA: H1N) , a leader in blockchain, metaverse, and decentralized identity technology, is pleased to update its stakeholders on the recent advancements and strategic decisions across its key partnerships.
Delivery of Project for Bluesphere Ventures
On November 1, 2024, Metasphere completed and delivered its work for Bluesphere Ventures Inc., which was initially announced in March 21, 2024. This milestone highlights Metasphere’s capability to meet demanding timelines, furthering progress toward the shared vision of “Ents World,” an eco-conscious open metaverse initiative.
Termination of Partnership with Bot Ventures
Following the May 8, 2024 announcement, Metasphere has decided to reprioritize its resources, mutually agreeing with Bot Ventures to terminate the decentralized identity project (the “Termination”). Metasphere retains the developed assets and may explore launching the project independently in the future, although no immediate plans are in place. There are no costs related to the Termination.
Advancement of VR Platform with ARCannabis
As part of its definitive agreement with ARCannabis announced on June 21, 2024, Metasphere is finalizing the development of a VR retail platform, with delivery expected by the end of this quarter. This immersive experience will redefine customer interactions within virtual reality.
Development of CarbonBot Protocol with Ecoblox and Pure Sky
Significant progress has been achieved on the carbon-aware routing protocol collaboration with Ecoblox and Pure Sky, announced in July 9, 2024. The project now operates collectively under the CarbonBot brand, deviating from initial plans for a public benefit corporation. While the protocol was not showcased at MWC Americas, the partnership is considering participation in MWC 2025 in Barcelona. The completed Carbon Offsetting Protocol is available on GitHub, with plans underway for an audit by either an ISO or UN-certified VVB (Verification and Validation Body), potentially making it the first recognized carbon offsetting protocol to meet stringent environmental standards, following which it will be submitted to the Pure Sky Registry to be voted on by its members.
Future Focus: TON Blockchain and Metaverse Development on Telegram
As Metasphere looks forward, its focus will shift toward metaverse and mini-app development on the Telegram Messenger platform, leveraging the Telegram Open Network (TON) blockchain. This strategic shift aligns with Metasphere’s mission to democratize access to decentralized applications within widely adopted social ecosystems, offering secure, scalable solutions that foster community-driven interactions.
