Lamina1 is a blockchain-based platform designed to support the next generation of digital content and the creation of the "open metaverse." The platform is a Layer 1 blockchain, meaning it provides the foundational infrastructure for decentralized applications and services. It aims to empower creators by giving them tools to build immersive digital experiences, such as in gaming, entertainment, and other creative sectors, while ensuring privacy, ownership, and freedom from central control. Lamina1 is specifically optimized for the metaverse, offering decentralized systems that integrate digital identities, virtual goods, and interactive worlds. Its goal is to create a space where content creators can own and monetize their work independently, moving away from centralized platforms. The network operates using a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, which makes it environmentally friendly compared to traditional proof-of-work blockchains​. Lamina1 is also positioned as a hub for innovation in the immersive internet, supporting applications in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and digital economies.
