We are delighted to present MetaHIVE — the first ever global scale, augmented reality based platform powered by Solana blockchain. MetaHIVE gives you the freedom to create 2D/3D experiences, play and spectate games, showcase, market and transact digital assets in a decentralized fashion.

Our vision is to introduce Solana’s first AR based Metaverse, a unique Engage-to-Earn platform.

Starting with a non-fungible token that can be upgraded, customized and envisioned in a 3D AR world, we are concretizing steps towards the biggest end game MetaHive. We are counting down the days to make you experience what we have built for you.

BeeMarkets ⎼ A Real Economic System That Revolutionizes AR

MetaHIVE is an aggregator, it needs to be based on world class economics that advances the AR Experiences, thanks to BeeMarkets system, BeeMarkets represents the solution to the needs of various market segments. BeeMarkets aim is to provide a single free exchange tool that facilitates users to:

  • Cross chain auctioning of digital assets
  • NFT P2P and Pool Lending to provide liquidity to long term holders
  • Showcase of 3D/2D assets in HIVEGalleries
  • Trading of Digital Assets
  • Trading of Digital Assets Built Over MetaHIVE

MetaHIVE — An Overview

MetaHIVE adopts the open source philosophy that is to engage the entire Hive community to contribute to its growth, making the platform independent of its creators. MetaHIVE uses augmented reality, a technology with a potential of christmatizing the surrounding environment with video, audio, 2D and 3D, merging reality and virtuality together in the same space. Above all this happens in real time and from any device with a camera i.e. smartphones and smart glasses. This innovation makes it possible to “trace” the elements present in the real world and add other virtual ones. The union between real and digital generates a unique merged experience.

The MetaHIVE platform is made up of:

• MetaHIVE Ecosystem

• BeeMarkets

• HIVELands

• HIVEGames

• HIVEGallery

• HIVExperiences

• HIVEBuzz

MetaHIVE Ecosystem

  • HIVE Owner

Users who buy digital lands (HIVELand using MHIVE token and immerse into an AR experience).

  • HIVE Creator

  • HIVE Gamer

  • HIVE Miner

  • HIVE Advertiser

Users who publish sponsored AR elements on HIVELand using $MHIVE tokens.

  • HIVE Staker

Users who stake and vote for IPFS HIVENodes using $MHIVE tokens.

BeeMarket

BeeMarket is the marketplace integrated into the MetaHIVE system to provide fluid transactions. The BeeMarket could be accessed manually by a desktop or in AR using MetaHIVE platform.

HIVELands

Based on the structure of a Beehive, the MetaHive ecosystem comes together as a hexagonal honeycomb. Each hexagon is an individual HIVELand and will be accessible to the owner across the globe.

HIVE owners will be granted their HIVELands through an ERC-731 standard NFT recorded on Solana Blockchain, which will grant them decentralized and censorship resistant rights to their property. Owners will be able to buy, sell or rent out their land as they please.

HIVExperience

Our users will be able to develop a unique AR experience with SDK MetaHIVE in Unity 3D and sell it in the community. The smart contract will help in smooth transactions from HIVE owner to a Content Creator.

HIVEGames

In MetaHIVE we built the perfect dynamics for gamers. MetaHIVE is the complete embodiment of metaverse and NFT gaming. An open-source community with users creating their metaverse where imagination is brought to life and everything is possible. Gamers can participate in gaming events across the world and can also spectate and earn by predicting the winner in a decentralized way.

HIVEGallery

HIVEGallery is the potential of the metaverse in our business. Users can put their digital assets and HIVExperiences on display for other users to visit in their avatars and spice up the experience for them by a virtual DJ right in the gallery with attendees playing from his DJ set sonorous music that will get guests grooving. Despite the distance and pandemonium! No wonder it is called the “double layer of life.”

HIVEBuzz

The SDK will offer a package which will include objects needed to make promotional campaigns i.e. virtual banners, plans including dynamic textures that can be assigned by the advertisers, giving them the freedom to customize. The buying and selling will be managed by the marketplace based on time and performance.

Token Economics

The $MHIVE token is a utility token based on the SPL standard, and acts as an exchange medium in the whole MetaHIVE ecosystem.

The token makes it possible to fully leverage the Solana Blockchain and easily integrate with the existing infrastructure (i.e. wallets & exchanges).

The $MHIVE Token is used to interact with the platform in the following ways:

• Governance

• Buy HIVELand

• Stake for nodes and liquidity mining

• Buy products on Bee markets to create your own HIVE experience

• Pay an HIVECreator to build an HIVExperience for you

• Get paid in MHIVE by users that want to interact with the experience

• User may pay to make the experience start

• User may pay to buy products from your HIVEGallery

• Get paid by advertisers

• Virtual space rent

• Pay per view/interaction

• Pay for virtual goods

• Use all services present on the MetaHIVE platform and marketplace

BeeLabs Tech

Augmented Reality is a technology capable of superimposing various types of contents (video, audio, 2D, 3D) in the surrounding environment. All this happens in real time and from any device equipped with a camera. For enhancement of these experiences BeeLabs team is building up its very own hardware technology to deliver exactly what we are building for you. Including persistent AR experience and shared experience and an intelligent smart contract. Including our most innovative hardware Bee Glasses.

SolBees NFT

BeeLabs artists are bringing Handcrafted NFT collectibles on Solana Blockchain exclusively for its supporters, SolBees is projected to be one of the hottest NFT launches this fall. SolBees NFTs are mutable cards designed by BeeLabs, based on the three castes of bees i.e. Worker Bees, Drones and Queens.

Our early adopters will stumble upon some hives which can be redeemed for Honeybee NFTs later for free. It’s our first step towards building a MetaHive. Thinking you are late? No! We got you. We are commencing NFT public sales on lowest rates decided by our community following Fair Launch Protocol.

One collection, three categories bringing high rewards for our minters as each caste will be dropped free mint passes for upcoming launches, royalties and 3D NFT derivatives right after mint.

MetaBees Game

We believe in the utility of NFTs. MetaBees is a Free-to-Play, Play-to-Earn NFT game developed by BeeLabs on Solana exclusively for SolBees NFT holders to make MetaHIVE fun and profitable for them and they can test the powers of MetaHIVE. In addition to the collection value of each NFT Card, MetaHIVE will also allow the holders of SolBee Cards to use them to fight with each other in the Bee Arena. We take Play-to-Earn gaming to a whole new level by bringing players the most realistic experience based on AR, enticing gameplay and addictive combat with your mates. A real slice of our game universe comes in where players can earn this token by engaging into daily quests that are based on collecting Flowers that have different percentages of HIVEHoney depending upon their rarities. This way not the winner takes all it rewards each player based on their effort and skill.

SolBees is much more than just an NFT drop, it’s the first stepping stone to our broadened Horizon MetaHIVE possessing the power to change the world through AR technology. Together we can create an impact, let’s grow together!
