# THE METAVERSE

The Rift is a 3D virtual world that is built in the Unreal Engine and underpinned by blockchain technologies.&#x20;

Within the Rift, users will be empowered to create, own and monetize experiences using $NERD, the utility token which also underpins the Games and Metaverse ecosystems.

Within The Rift, users can maintain provable ownership of their virtual assets (tokens, skins, Lands…) represented as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT). Ownership of users’ NFTs will be manifested through different blockchains, a peer-to-peer network underpinned by distributed ledger technology.

Due to rising gas prices due to mining fees, and because we want to bring all crypto communities together in The Rift, we support the Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, Ethereum, and BNB Smart Chain blockchains. N3RDGAMES will be the first Metaverse that is building towards a multi-chain world.&#x20;

To interact within the Metaverse, users will manifest within the world as an avatar - a digital representation of Self. Like skins or Lands, most of the avatars will also be NFTs that users have acquired within the N3rdGames ecosystem, or in time, from those of friendly ecosystems.
