From now on you can trade Somnium CUBEs on Uniswap. This step completes our list of platforms where we offer our utility VR currency, after starting at Coinpark, a traditional and reliable (partner of BiBox) crypto exchange, we soon followed on OpenSea, the biggest NFT platform, where we completed our offering to PARCELs and ITEMs. With Uniswap the circle is complete as this decentralized platform will give everyone the possibility to swap into CUBEs. This holistic approach makes CUBEs accessible for everyone.

Uniswap brings us another step closer to more decentralization for our users by utilizing the rapidly growing web3 ecosystem. Uniswap empowers developers, liquidity providers and traders to participate in a financial marketplace that is open and accessible to all with hundreds of applications and for thousands of users.

Somnium CUBEs

As you already know Somnium Cubes is our in-world cryptocurrency token based on the Ethereum blockchain. At this moment you can use CUBEs among other to buy our land parcels on OpenSea, or to rent them bilaterally from other users on our Discord. The ultimate use of CUBEs will be for in-world transactions, like for example the teleportation system and other micro payments in our store and especially user to user transactions.

CUBEs were always meant to be a real use case cryptocurrency. A true utility token which allows you to exist inside our Virtual Reality Metaverse. If you are a creator who builds structures or avatar models you will need CUBEs. If you are an artist who wants to sell tickets to his performance — you will need CUBEs. If you want to utilize Somnium Transportation System and travel inside our VR world by Teleportation Hubs or other means of transport — you will need CUBEs. But there is much more.

During the next 2 weeks, we will be launching the first major CUBEs utility use-case which is minting your own full body virtual reality avatars onto blockchain. This is a real revolution in a way how creators can protect and monetize their creations. Because having a VR avatar is one of the most important part of self representation inside Metaverse (yes, our blockchain avatars will be usable in all major virtual worlds across digital spaces), we believe this will spark an amazing marketplace of truly beautiful and functional avatars. This can be regarded as the beginning of the CUBE ecosystem and a true start of our in world economy.
