6.3 ASSETS
Overview
START LANDS METAVERSE represents a convergence of virtual and physical realities, offering users a dynamic platform for social interaction, gaming, commerce, and beyond. ASSETS serves as one of the fundamental components driving engagement and adding a more immersion in the ecosystem. This section delves into the concept of ASSETS, encompassing both Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and non-NFTs, within the context of START LANDS METAVERSE.
What are ASSETS?
ASSETS play a pivotal role in shaping user experiences and interactions. ASSETS encompass a broad spectrum of virtual entities and equipment, ranging from 3D models (that populate immersive experiences, ranging from virtual homes and businesses to interactive attractions and gaming environments with 3D interactive content), equipments & costumes/skins (that players can apply to their AVATARS with potential to modify their stats, attributes and appearance) to consumable material & items with relatively fixed basic attributes that can be used in for different purposes. These ASSETS imbue START LANDS METAVERSE with depth and interactivity, enabling users to shape and personalize their immersive virtual environments.
ASSETS can be minted as ERC-1155 & ERC-721 tokens so they can be bought, sold, traded, and used in START LANDS METAVERSE by their owners. ASSETS that are minted are NFTs that operate as ERC-1155 & ERC-721 tokens on the Ethereum Network, providing verifiable ownership and authenticity. This integration of blockchain technology with in-game assets enhances player ownership and investment in their digital collectibles.
Not all ASSETS are NFTs. When you create ASSETS that will be used in your own Game/Experience, there is no need to mint those ASSETS.
ASSETS Ecosystem
ASSETS cater to diverse stakeholders within START LANDS METAVERSE ecosystem:

Players
End-users benefit from ASSETS in myriad ways, gaining access to exclusive experiences, customizing AVATARS, and enhancing gameplay.
ASSET Creation and Minting
Asset Creation will need to meet requirements for standardization depending on the category of ASSETS created in order to properly be ready for minting. Once all requirements are met, minting ASSETS can be done utilizing either the ERC-1155 or ERC-721 token standards, depending on the nature and rarity of the asset.
ERC-1155 Token Standard
This standard is employed for most ASSETS within START LANDS METAVERSE, allowing for the creation of fungible and semi-fungible tokens. ASSETS minted as ERC-1155 tokens are interchangeable and can represent a variety of entities and equipment.
This can include but not limited to, skins/costumes and other attributes that are fixed and have a large quantity such as 3D models to populate immersive experiences, consumable materials and items with relatively fixed basic attributes.
ERC-721 Token Standard
Rare and unique items, such as legendary weapons and exclusive equipment, are minted as ERC-721 tokens. Each ERC-721 token is distinct and non-fungible, imbuing the associated asset with scarcity and collectibility. These tokens are ideal for representing one-of-a-kind items that hold significant value within START LANDS METAVERSE ecosystem.
