What are the top metaverse projects besides The Sandbox and Decentraland? | Watch The Market Report live

Published at: Feb. 15, 2022

This week on “The Market Report,” we jump right into our main event. Join Cointelegraph analysts Benton Yaun, Jordan Finneseth, Sam Bourgi and Ornella Hernández as they debate each other on the top metaverse projects on the market. First up, we’ve got Bourgi’s pick of Wilder World, which allows you to interact with its immersive 3D world via nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and is also based on the massively popular Unreal Engine 5.

Following Bourgi, we have The Market Report first-timer Hernández, who has decided to go with Boson Portal, which aims to revolutionize metaverse commerce. Will its high-profile partners such as Dolce & Gabbana and Asics and the ability to purchase physical items in the metaverse in the form of NFTs be enough to sway the vote in her favor?

Next up is everyone’s favorite, Yuan, and his pick, Bloktopia. Will he be able to make a better case than the rest with Bloktopia’s 21-level VR skyscraper, which acts as a central hub where users can not only play but also gain access to crypto education, real estate and much more?

Last, but certainly not least, we have Finneseth with his pick of Gala Games, which offers players real-world value out of their gameplay by adding some old-school node action with decentralized finance (DeFi) characteristics, giving players the ability to operate a Gala node in exchange for GALA and limited-edition NFTs. Once each of our experts has made their case, you, the audience, get to decide the winner by voting in our live poll, so be sure to stick around till after everyone’s presentations to cast your vote.

After the showdown, we’ve got insights from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, a platform for crypto traders who want to stay one step ahead of the market. The analysts use Cointelegraph Markets Pro to identify two altcoins that stood out this week: Smooth Love Potion (SLP) and Skale (SKL).

Do you have a question about a coin or topic not covered here? Don’t worry. Join the YouTube chat room, and write your questions there. The person with the most interesting comment or question will be given a free month of Cointelegraph Markets Pro, worth $100.

Altcoin Roundup: 3 P2E games that don't need Ethereum to make waves
The rise of blockchain-based play-to-earn (P2E) gaming was one of the leading stories in 2021 as games such as Axie Infinity exploded in popularity and players realized that they could make life-changing amounts of money while also having fun.
