A Metaverse-Powered Virtual Store On Ethereum Delivers Stunning And Secure Shopping Experiences

The client needed a trusted metaverse development company to help it with setting up its unique superstore from scratch. Our team of metaverse developers outlined the basic project workflow in the discovery meeting. We leveraged our deep expertise in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), blockchain, and cloud to come up with a metaverse-enabled store that offers unique shopping experiences consistently. Our web application developers worked in close coordination with our metaverse experts to create a store application. Besides, our metaverse developers worked with our AR and VR specialists to use 3D modeling for building different branded stores and the metaverse at large. We incorporated multiple elements into the client's metaverse to let users interact with different stores present in the virtual world. Here are some of the key highlights of the project that helped us deliver a metaverse supermart that fits every single requirement the client listed.

Frontend

The client was particular about the look and feel of the store. After all, the store's user interface is the first thing visitors would see and interact with when they enter any metaverse. Our frontend experts understood the client's requirements, ran a feasibility check on those requirements, and then proceeded with creating an interactive user interface. Here are some of the highlights of the project's frontend.

• Enabled the users to chat with shop owners, sales personnel, and other visitors
• Let the visitors create and customize their avatars easily
• Helped the users go from one store to another inside the metaverse without changing their avatars
• Leveraged 3D modeling capabilities to model the metaverse and its different characters
• Allowed the users to purchase any item they like from the metaverse with no hassles
• Made the metaverse application intuitive and responsive for devices belonging to different operating systems
• Included in-metaverse gaming capabilities to improve the engagement rate of store visitors

Backend

Just like the way the frontend of any metaverse project has to be intuitive, the backend is equally important as well. The backend of this metaverse project included our developers taking care of smart contracts, blockchains, and other hosting responsibilities. Here are some of the most notable characteristics of the backend of the metaverse superstore we developed.

• Used Photon as the game engine for providing the metaverse with gaming capabilities
• Developed in-metaverse games using Unity
• Hosted the metaverse on Amazon S3
• Developed APIs in the metaverse using lambda functions
• Leveraged the serverless architecture for APIs
• Stored data using Amazon DynamoDB
• Integrated MetaMask wallets into the metaverse
• Created the virtual supermart on the Ethereum blockchain
• Wrote multiple smart contracts using Solidity
• Chat features across the metaverse were powered using Photon

Development Process

Any project's development and execution have always been integral for us. It is because these phases determine the success rate of any project. To that end, we were careful in using the agile methodologies to build this project from the ground up. We relied on the scrum framework for executing the project. Moreover, we set the sprint duration to two weeks and made sure every scrum ceremony took place on time. Here are some key steps that were part of our overall development process.

• Detailed and understood the project requirements during the discovery phase
• Set realistic delivery timelines and planned different sprint schedules
• Shared detailed delivery schedules and project milestones with the client for final approval
• Developed the metaverse and its intuitive elements from the ground up
• Tested the deliverables against different quality parameters before sending them to the client
• Shared the deliverables with the client as per the decided schedule
