How the Shardless Metaverse Was Born with RP1

The extraordinary feat of gathering 4,000 users on a single shard is amazing enough, but Sean Mann, CEO of RP1, and Dean Abramson, Chief Architect, look even further into the future. Their ideas could very well solve one of the most immediate issues in the metaverse: scalability.

 

Their solution? Create a ‘shardless’ metaverse, an “infinitely scalable” platform that can synchronously connect hundreds of millions of users to one another in a real-time, persistent virtual world, without the need for sharding. Listen in to learn how RP1 is scaling their shardless metaverse, how the platform works, and its impact on society and the future.
