With Facebook Inc. recent rebranding the company’s name to Meta, a lot of attention has again been drawn to the topic of Metaverse. Metaverse which is the future of social interactions, where users interact in a seemingly real virtual environment using virtual reality technologies. Facebook’s announcement to create a virtual social environment for social interactions shifted attention again to Metaverse.
There are many other Metaverse projects that are currently being worked on at creating such virtual systems, but with a major difference from that of Facebook. They are creating these projects in a decentralized manner, so that the Metaverse wouldn’t be centrally controlled. And as a result of this decentralized nature, there has been much funds pumped at sponsoring these projects.

Facebook’s Meta vs Decentralized versions of Metaverse
A major point of concern of people regarding Facebook’s name change and creation of a Metaverse social platform is still related to power centralization. With the company still controlling very significant power and monopoly instead of sharing such controls with her users. This only aggravates the dislike towards the seemingly selfish power chase.
This on the other hand is a major plus for the decentralized Metaverse cryptocurrency projects. As users of the platforms are allowed to share control and power in a decentralized landscape.
