Somnium Space VR Parcels (79%) – Virtual Real Estate
Website – Twitter – OpenSea
Somnium Space land is an open-world metaverse designed for a virtual reality experience. The VR functionality of Somnium Space is one way the project differentiates itself from its metaverse competitors, another being the scarcity of its land. Somnium Space only has 5,026 parcels available compared to about 90,000 and 160,000 for Sandbox and Decentraland, respectively. At a floor price of just over 3 ETH, Somnium Space parcels may be undervalued compared to competitors whose floor prices currently range from 3.2 ETH to over 4.5 ETH. Partners of the project include FTX, Sony, Gemini, and more.
