The real metaverse is yet to come. But a lot of platforms have already claimed their own virtual worlds and even started selling their tokens. Which of them you should watch this year?
Do you remember metaverse?
Yeah, that is the kind of stuff that everybody was talking about before the crypto market crashes in the spring of 2022.
Mocking any metaverses isn’t trendy anymore as more and more world-name companies entering it, living there billions of dollars.
Even the father of the Metaverse definition Neal Stephenson is launching his own metaverse. Without intricate AR/VR headsets and with a good old keyboard/mouse to control your avatar.
Stephenson didn’t announce his metaverse’s coin yet. But we surely can wait for it anytime soon.
Meanwhile, let’s talk about the most interesting metaverse tokens worth watching to the end of 2022.

With a peak price of $5,5 in November 2021, now MANA is almost seven times cheaper. But its community continues creating a lot of weird NFT and selling pieces of land inside its virtual districts.
The good news is that now you can create your avatar in Decenraland a way cheaper. Three months ago you have to pay almost 300 bucks for it (100 MANA). At the time of writing 100 MANA is like $84.
