Everdome’s 2024 - Building, Testing, Validating

As 2024 draws to a close, we reflect on the remarkable progress and milestones achieved by Everdome in partnership with our community and collaborators. Together, we’ve worked tirelessly in refining our environment versions to pave the way for a powerful 2025 of growth. 

At the start of 2024, we set our sights on building a solid foundation, testing alpha releases, and validating use cases. This year has been marked by numerous build drops, destination launches, and engaging events within Everdome’s headquarters—all geared toward realizing this vision.

Building Foundations

Throughout the year, our team worked on the robust infrastructure necessary to support dynamic features that drive engagement, foster audience growth, and enable ever more interactive experiences.

We constantly refined and expanded our Metaverse on Demand product, Spaces, with key features including:

• Creator templates
• Video media support
• “Surprise Me” random space navigation
• AMA functionality
• Moderator tools
• Enhanced UI and optimized images and banners

We also added new areas to our HQ destination, with our Mars Theater opening up in May, bringing a home for larger audiences to enjoy mixed media video and music events with full avatar interactivity.

Phobos Bar followed in July, a new meetup hub which allows groups to meet, mingle and party before or after metaverse events. Phobos also saw the debut of our attenuation feature, which limits voice chat features to those sitting at tables - to properly evoke that bar-chat feeling.

This feature has since been rolled out across our wider environment, allowing proximity based chat across all areas of our HQ.

We also unveiled our upcoming Presentation Space and Conference Hall - more to come on these early in the new year.

However, our foundational building did not stop at creation of areas. We also gave our website a complete revamp, and provided a more detailed and up-to-date lite paper showing our commitment to a multi-year strategy.

Infrastructure optimization and scaling took a front seat, with much of August being spent on this important behind the scenes work, to help us manage larger audiences and also reduce the weight of the environment - with file size now reduced to 4GB.

As we built we burned. 4 Billion $DOME went up in flames over the course of the year as we celebrated multiple releases powering Everdome’s growth.

Testing Alpha Releases and Validating Use Cases

Numerous events were hosted across the year to test the functionality of our new areas, taking our standard process of creating in-house events, with a first CEO AMA in spaces, before further events with partners and collaborators.

After iteration following feedback from these early collaboration partners and community surveys, we continued our event schedule, creating various theme weeks along with our Pioneering Playful Potential series, gradually increasing scope of features and functionalities with each iteration.

We also used this series to kick off our first Experience-to-Earn live tests, with a community special Trump discussion followed quickly by events with Klaus, MoneyFoxx and Farcana all - featuring digital rewards for engagement.

Further validation for our progress came in the form of awards, as Everdome took home special recognition for our work with the United Arab Emirates government - for our contribution to their Jahiz initiative, as winning the prizes for Exceptional New Technology in the MEA Business Awards, and for Metaverse of the Year in the Future Enterprise Awards.

Collabs and Partners

Across 2024 Everdome grew our number of collaborating partners. We explored the future of finance with Alvara Protocol, dove into the world of gaming with Dragonzland and Farcana, while surfing the memecoin wave with Pingu, Catamoto, BurnCat, Klaus and MoneyFoxx.

We continued our association with top level motor racing, welcoming Alpine Web3 into our metaverse world, while also checking out use cases for artists in Everdome, with events hosted by our resident musical genius Szatt, producer of our metaverse soundtrack, and Mars Theater spots for Adrian T Bell.

Across the year we laid key foundations which will enable us to achieve our 2025 focus. Emphasizing growth, user acquisition across new markets along with creator/owner revenue generation features & models.  

We have some truly powerful announcements, plans and concepts already in the pipeline for 2025, with major new areas, events and partners in the works.

Many thanks for your support across 2024 & happy new year to you all.
