Still here, focusing on @openvoxels to enhance the durability, interoperability, and community ownership of Cryptovoxels assets. Atm the project has been supported by community donations (13 ETH to date). We’ve taken snapshots of ~8k parcels, 34k wearables, and 8k avatars, converting them to glTF/VRM formats, and uploaded the data to Arweave, Sketchfab, GitHub, and the Internet Archive. Currently working on building explorers and living museums to showcase this content. Openvoxels has also been a way to support my participation in orgs like @metaverse_forum, where I co-chair the Digital Fashion Wearables for Avatars group. As an anon, I don’t have a typical job or corporate sponsorship. It also serves as an open test ground for the concepts we're exploring since the incentives like permissionlessness and interop align well. The broader vision I got is to create something like the Wayback Machine or noclip.website for virtual worlds. I also aim to push the conversation on ownership further, as Voxels continues to rely on proprietary formats, centralized storage, and hosting. Hope we can lead as an example for other platforms also. More info here: mirror.xyz/openvoxels.eth/hB…
