Lamina1, the layer-1 blockchain built for the Open Metaverse, has launched its Early Access Program to test the blockchain’s functionality and provide feedback for improvement. The blockchain has selected content and infrastructure builders from across gaming, fashion, music, and film, including Dubit, Mystic Moose, and HTC.
Following the launch of the Lamina1 Testnet in January, the Early Access Program aims to provide a select group of partners and developers with guidance, documentation, and a streamlined feedback process as they leverage blockchain technology and tools.
