Animoca Brands will build metaverse standards as the announcement showed, coming on the heels of the announcement of another metaverse alliance known as the Metaverse Standards Forum. Founding members of the group include Meta, Microsoft, Alibaba, and Sony which are companies not known for allowing users to keep or transfer data between applications. OMA3 will take a different approach:

“We believe in a metaverse without restraining walls, where individual platforms are interconnected and fully interoperable.”

The group said it will invite all blockchain and metaverse-based companies to join their alliance. According to OMA3 the new decentralzied autonomous organization will operate as a consortium. The DAO is essentially an online community that uses Web3 tools and organizes the contrl among members. DAOS often use crypto or tokens to incentivize their members and to govern the decision-making process. The standards will be guided by the goals of true ownership and the real-time interoperability.

We are incredibly excited to announce the Open Metaverse Alliance for Web3. Multiple virtual worlds have come together to solve key challenges of the metaverse and preserve the freedom of information owned by users. Stay tuned for announcements on https://t.co/nd6KfRxsis
