TheVERSEverse Receives First Major Grant From Tezos Foundation

On April 26, theVERSEverse announced its first major grant awarded by the Tezos foundation. The grant was awarded to support literary innovations in Web3 and will fund a series of planned initiatives. Additionally, it will be used to empower theVERSEverse and evolve its virtual home at theVERSEverse.com

In a statement obtained by CoinQuora, theVERSEverse praised Proof-of-Stake protocols as an accessible way for writers to experiment with metaversal literature. TheVERSEVerse included cost efficiency, ease of use, and minimal eco-impact as the highlights of PoS protocols. “That’s why theVERSEverse has been committed to exploring the future of literature via Tezos since launch.”

We are very grateful for the ongoing interest from the global Tezos community, and are honored to receive essential support from the Tezos Foundation at this pivotal moment for writers, editors, publishers and readers on the blockchain.

TheVERSEverse aims to contribute to opening new doors to explore poetry in novel creative forms for new and established poets internationally. As such, theVERSEverse aims to utilize Tezos’s blockchain technology to achieve these goals. The gallery will now deepen its Tezos tech integrations and community engagements to empower more writers.

Tezos has now emerged as the de facto art-driven NFT blockchain of every art genre due to its grass-roots community-driven movement. Projects can leverage their energy efficiency and low transaction gas fees to open new doors. TheVERSEverse gallery aims to enable meaningful, next-gen poetic experimentation, and bring mainstream readers into the metaverse.

TheVERSEverse was founded in late 2021 by writers Ana Maria Caballero, Kalen Iwamoto, and Sasha Stiles. The gallery has become a leading destination for metaverse-based poetry and is among the first literary projects to receive funding for literary innovations in the crypto realm.
