HYTOPIA just ended the creator exploitation era!
Here’s why I’m super bullish on HYTOPIA with the new marketplace right now:
1️⃣ zero crypto headache for players
Players can just load up $ credits (5.5% fee) to buy dope cosmetics and lootboxes. super easy onboarding, no weird wallet or seed phrase nonsense. It’sit’s just smooth.
2️⃣ instant utility & flipping
buy an item, and you’re playing with it instantly. Or, if you’re a hustler, just list it to flip it immediately. Roblox players would literally dream about this level of freedom lol.
3️⃣ Creator pay is absolutely cracked
Loot boxes currently cost $1.99 each, and the creator gets 85% straight up. Way better than those old-school platforms taking 60%+. Plus, creators farm 5% royalties every time someone flips your item on the secondary market. perpetual passive income, baby.
4️⃣ Passive income for $HYBUX & HYTOPIA NFT holders
15% of every single sale and resale flows directly into the NFT reward pool.
Once the smart contracts are in place, every marketplace sale will generate additional rewards for Worlds, Avatars, GrayBoys, Node NFT holders.
The flywheel is set:
happy creators ➡️ fire content ➡️ more players ➡️ $HYBUX goes brrrr

for everyone that is upset and leaving discord! may i introduce to you what i have been working on the past 4 years! @localuniverseio
> its a downloadable desktop app
> create "systems" and voice channels and text channels
> customize your planets with items you collect
> full roles included. dms, gcs
> a full pixel art universe to explore and collect cosmetics
> play minigames meet new friends
> SOOOO MUCH MORE
think of it like discord except ontop of the normal voice chat and text chat channels- there are planet channels which are WORLDS you can run around and customize and experience!!
i used to spend to much time in discord but never enough customization to make my server feel cozy and like a home 👽⚡️
Just applied to the build in public by @Pumpfun !! We have been here and doing just that for over a YEAR now on pumpfun- and have been building in public for a total of 4 years! That is insane!! The Local Universe will win. ⚡️👽
@notthreadguy BROTHER ME!! HOLYY!
- every website is a unique planet
- every on that website can see and interact with each other
- play games
- proximity voice chat
- mine
- dev api being designed currently
OKAY SO SOMETHING REALLY COOL WHICH I NEED TO FLESH OUT!
but now that we have a browser- we can create a window standard which webdevs can latch onto from their own websites to interact with the local universe world EASILY ALL THROUGH JS ⚡️👽
ive said it once ive said it a million times lmaoo u guys have first row seats to this rodeo of watching me struggle to find pmf!! i hope it has been semi-enjoyable thus far! 😭
a little recap
4 years ago we started with
allowing users to donate to twitch streamers to influence their stream (like pressing their buttons drawing on their screen etc
from here we then wanted to expand upon intra-communal experience. so we created a 2d world to allow users to see each other while interacting with twitch streamers
we then continued that expansion and saw some traction for the first time on tiktok. we continued to build out this 2d world and form more of a game
the game started to dwindle so then we said hm okay maybe lets go back to focusing on twitch streamers and their audiences- so we moved towards sidequests
during sidequests it became clear that was a misstep- something was broken and not working in the last iteration but this wasnt the fix
we have then since reverted back to the localuniverse and are now focusing alot more energy on congregating users into location while they browse- and have it be as social as possible- with the game being their to simply help facilitate social interactions
the thesis is that the local universe truly is the first of its kind and the most unique thing i have ever built. we will continue down this path and continue iterating! i believe that there was simply FARRR too much friction with the chrome extension version as it became tedious to constantly have to open and close the extension everytime u browsed to a new website.
i was thinking about it all wrong- instead of trying to bring the local universe into the internet i SHOULD have been trying to bring the internet into the local universe where friction is ZERO!!! downloadable apps are also MUCH MUCH more trustworthy than chrome extensions-
so here we aree!! our very own local universe multiplayer browser is on the horizon! built from the ground up with an embedded wallet and mining / staking mechanics and much more planned!!
again i can never promise i KNOW what the correct next move is- but i CAN PROMISE i will never let a misstep stop me from building and finding pmf!!
TO v3 AND BEYOND ⚡️👽
YES LETS GOOOOOOO!!! DONT WANT THE PAIN OF HAVING TO OPEN UP @localuniverseio ON EVERY WEBSITE BECAUSE OF THE CHROME EXTENSION??
weLL NOW WE BROUGHT THE BROWSER INTO THE LOCAL UNIVERSE!! browser DIRECTLY within your deck and go to that dimension without ANY RELOADING NO REFRESHING NO WAITING!
COMEE ON HOLLLYYYY!!! WE TURNED THE INTERNET INTO A THIRD SPACE!!!
again dont want to overpromise- the main things i focused on to get to release are
-> INCREDIBLE movement and networking with gorgeous client side prediction and reconciliation
-> finally finished rebuild into unity
-> new tokenomics which rewards holders
-> 2 new smart contracts
-> mining in the local universe
-> proximity voice chat
-> new front facing website
ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER ⚡️
and you already know we keeping it LOCAL till we go GLOBAL
