Looking Back at 2022

2022 was an outstanding year for the Metaverse, and the Mona community. With thousands of environments created, which help incredible events and activities throughout 2022, we asked out community to submit their favorite memories from 2022.

We were also able to give out a substantial amount of prize money, which helped to further incentivize and reward the creativity and hard work of our community members. Additionally, we saw many new and innovative ideas emerge, and it was inspiring to see the community come together to build incredible spaces, portals, hubs, sculptures and spaces for livestreaming and jump courses.

This year, we also saw a lot of growth in terms of users and engagement and we are excited to continue to build on this momentum in 2023. We are confident that the coming year will be even more successful and we look forward to seeing what the community will come up with next.

Metaverse Memories from @memory_888

So many - One of the earliest I can find is @E_0_I_N throwing a scavenger hunt in this massive space. I think @v_x_g_x_ found the golden eggs? And ofc, had to climb that summit...

Party inside the Mona Advent Calendar Space.

i feel like cc0 @cryptoavatarsio asparagoose party in @monaverse advent calendar was peak weirdness until @memory_888 modified their slugs into giant and/or glitchy versions for the finale

s/o @hubbersnaks @ballisticb for being early asparagoose converts + guest 3 for lurking.

Hosting the WIP meetup in the Fromoville Mona Space created by J.J. Weinberg

Hosting @theWIPmeetup and having so many people gather from @Rizzle and @niftytime's community at the Live Stream Energy Commission Amphitheater in http://fromoville.com was also incredible!

Being able to celebrate #BobRoss on what would be his 80th Birthday in Fromoville was really special for everyone involved in Happy Little Hairdos @BobRossParody

Most important of all was being able to make a memorial for my best friend Frances. We had to say goodbye on 1/24/22 after 14 magical years. She's the first dog buried in the digital dust of the metaverse thanks to @mona
