The metaverse is quite possibly the future of the internet. To help our readers learn more about it, we've started this metaverse interview series.
These are the questions we've compiled to ask experts in blockchain, DAOs, NFTs, and game development, within the HackerNoon community. The series is intended for tech professionals to contribute their insights about the current state and the future of the metaverse.

HackerNoon Prompt: So let’s start! First, tell us a bit about yourself. For example, name, profession, and personal interests.
My name is Vladislav I'm 22 years old. I'm working on a personal startup. My hobbies are physics, chemistry biology, and programming.
Please summarize the meta-universe in 1 or 2 paragraphs.
It is a network where everyone gets a chance to fulfill his/her interests away from the current internet. Of course, this will be easier to achieve with new blockchain and web 3.0 technologies.
Are you currently, directly or indirectly, working on building a metaverse?
Rather indirectly on social network projects that help connect people who need help and those who are ready to help, on blockchain technology.
In your opinion, is the meta-universe inevitable, or is it just another passing trending tech topic that will lose hype?
You can build great projects, social equality already in digital form. While avoiding the interference of someone else's interests by government agencies, etc. This opens up opportunities to consolidate society to solve problems of global scale nothing gives impetus like the right information, the more people are aware of the problems the better their inclusion in the process will be for the world!
What can people build in the metaverse that we can't build on the Internet, or in virtual reality today? What limitations of our current technology does the metaverse free us from?
People can create content not controlled by monopoly corporations, can create products which will be oriented towards people on a true social digital society.
How are the metaverse and blockchain related? Can we build a metaverse without blockchain technology?
No, it can't be a meta without blockchain, it's a basic function of any independent financial system that helps people avoid banking lawsuits. Blockchain can connect with tokens and distribute them as currency or NFT
How quickly do you think the metaverse will be developed? How much can we expect metaverse tech to grow in the next 5 to 10 years?
Maximum rapid growth is possible if there is a wide audience that will actively grow during 2-3 years
What is your hope for the metaverse? Do you have any worries or does the concept pose any threats?
I think that the techno giants, which have now seized and monopolized the market of social applications, do not see the David who will kill the giant. In the first place, we should fear the big players. I pin my hopes on the metaverse, hope that it will create a truly new digital society, where everyone is not left alone, where freedom of speech and talent of any person is worth more than advertising and buying subscribers, where everyone felt comfortable.
Thank you for your time! Any closing words?
I'd really like to work on creating a meta-universe, sincerely contributing to the future for all people
