Freeverse.io — The home of Living Assets: NFT 2.0. Evolving - Scalable - Multicurrency - Sustainable - Certifiable.Freeverse’s mission is to bring true ownership of 'living' digital assets (such as NFTs) into the mainstream. Born from a simple idea of allowing gamers to trade their in-game assets among themselves, legally, for real money,Freeverse's ambition is to revolutionize the concept of 'digital ownership', where users truly own their digital assets, yet permitting companies and content creators the right to control how those assets are used within their applications.To accomplish our mission, we have created a platform that allows the creation of 'Living Assets' - NFTs that can be traded freely among users, but whose properties are regulated by their initial creators. We go beyond the concept of 'static'-NFTs (collectibles) and permit NFTs to evolve and change according to how they are actually used. We are funded by leading European tech VCs.
