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.

At this early stage of development, we intend to listen, learn, and deliver something of vision and value.”

The first cohort of partners was selected for their proven track record of building engaging, high-fidelity experiences in the immersive, gaming, and XR spaces. One of the first partners includes HTC, which will partner with Lamina1 on its Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality VIVERSE platform.
