Welcome to
The Metaverse Bank
A Bridge to the Future.
The Metaverse Bank is a development and finance platform that connects the worlds of traditional currency-based payments, online transactions and Web3.
The Bridge
A platform that allows a usable and easy bridge between Web2 and Web3
The
Metaverse Bank
The Metaverse Bank is a development and finance platform that connects the worlds of traditional currency-based payments, online transactions and Web3. It enables transactions to be fulfilled in any denomination – from US dollars or stablecoins, to NFTs or central bank digital currencies . . . . . or, even, a combination of the same – securely, cost-effectively and transparently.
At the Metaverse Bank we don’t believe that buyers and sellers should have to choose between traditional ‘FIAT’ payments or their next generation decentralized counterparts; all can potentially play a role within a transaction portfolio. In reality, however, distinctions between processes, technology and compliance between different transaction systems have rendered them – in practical terms – incompatible.
The Metaverse Bank platform makes transactions between payment systems as trivial as between traditional currencies; and based on the same notion of value equivalence.
This is the essence of the Bridge – a seamless connection between the worlds of traditional finance, online commerce and – now – Web3 and decentralized finance.

Encrypted Digital Assets (EDAs) and the Enigma 3.0 payment layer
The Metaverse Bank Bank uses Blockchain technology to log, secure and reconcile transactions based on any type of value denomination; this is because – thanks to the development of EDAs – the nature of the asset is effectively irrelevant.
EDAs contain all the information, not just the value of the asset but – courtesy of the Blockchain – its ownership, provenance, history and, even, physical location or jurisdiction. Users at either side of the transaction are at liberty to select their own asset of exchange as/when they enter into a transaction.
The use of EDAs enables complete reconciliation of any transaction in any denomination (or combination of the same) instantly and transparently, in addition to providing a wealth of other information on the individual assets at play that would be inconceivable through traditional payment systems.
But the Bridge doesn’t end with today’s currencies, denominations and payment variants, EDAs ensure that – whatever tomorrow’s medium of exchanges look like – you’ll be able to transact, exchange and withdraw them, as, when, and how you choose.

From impulse shoppers to treasury management
The Metaverse Bank’s offering will transform commerce across the spectrum: for individual consumers, it offers the possibility to transact in the payment format of their choice, or even, combinations of the same. This could mean choosing tokens to deepen engagement and create value for a particular community on one occasion, and stable coins to draw on savings on another.
It could also mean chose to sell, loan or gift value to another individual – as part of a small business, for instance or just as a present – all based on the currency and transaction method of their choice, with no recourse or dependency on anyone else . . .
At the other end of the scale, enterprises also face significant transaction costs – moving between currencies, locations, jurisdictions of, even, between FIAT and decentralized assets. For such organisations, The Metaverse Bank represents even more than a friction-free treasury management system, offering details on – not merely every transaction – but every single asset used for the same (including provenance, history as well as value and ownership).
This aspect – courtesy of Enigma3’s Blockchain architecture – represents a new level of transparency and compliance for enterprises.
And not just for today . . . .
Complexity of systems and incompatibility between the same is increasing exponentially; at exactly the moment when users and businesses are desperately looking for more simplicity. And this tension is only likely to move in one direction . . .
The emergence of hyper-connected networks – and 5G evolving to 6G – the incorporation of AI and VR in everyday experiences will combine to drive user expectation and technical complexity incompatibly high. And that’s without addressing the issues of transparency or compliance!
The Metaverse Bank’s offers a unique way to future-proof payment and reconciliation systems. The reality is that many payment mechanisms or, even, currencies of tomorrow have not even been invented yet!
This means that e-commerce players will be able to proposal new and alternative payment assets in – literally – real time to their customers; while businesses will be able to receive and reconcile the same, with no absolutely re-programming, automatically in full accordance with their current compliance procedures.
