Sevi Shehu - MetaEarth: Where Technology Meets Humanity - TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025

My name is Seish. I'm the chief strategy officer of Metar. It's such a pleasure to be here today. Today I'm going to talk about two earths. So there is the earth that we know the it's physical the one that we live in.

We walk take pictures. It has people and it has borders. And also there is the earth that we are creating. This one is digital. It is decentralized.

It's open to everyone and it's permissionless. We did this because we thought that earth deserve a digital twin. A digital twin when we remove the middleman and we remove the borders. And why not create it through Meta Earth? And Meta Earth wants to create a digital society that has sovereignty, that has fairness, and has ownership.

You might wonder why create it now. Why now such a project? Well, from the complaints that we hear every day. So, let's start with I don't know we live in a broken system. Uh our ownership is fake.

Actually, you think you own your Instagram account, but you don't own it. Anytime they can take it away from you or your ex account or maybe money, money is trapped in banks and very slow systems. Also data identity it gets stolen every day from us and it's gets stolen permissionless but fortunately web 3 gives us the change to change this reality and gives us this opportunity and why not through modular blockchain of metaart who created a platform that mirrors uh the earth but adds something more to it which is transparency and maybe a modular blockchain that I don't know maybe Ethereum forgot that it's people a feature to put in it. So uh meta earth is not just another blockchain but it is the foundation of a digital society. Uh let me tell you a little bit now about company.

Uh we are a Swiss company under Swiss regulation and our purpose is to create the digital identity and the centralized infrastructure and all this done through sustainable tools and sustainable economies. And you might wonder what is our main principle? Well, open participation to everyone. So we want to connect the real people with web 3 and this is a right project to do it. I'm going to tell you uh now a little bit uh about the modular blockchain.

So we created a block modular blockchain. As you know every uh blockchain out there mostly it's monolithical. Uh what does this mean that everything is so congested everything happens in one place everything is so slow and you know it is hard to upgrade. You know what happened in uh the boon of NFTTS in Ethereum when it was so expensive the gas fees the transaction fees in 2021 to buy or to sell one Ethereum so the the prices skyrocketed but this doesn't happen with modular blockchain because we separate the execution layer the settlement layer and the data availability so imagine building a building with Lego blocks and not with concrete. Uh next I want to talk about who is behind all this and uh behind all this wonderful project is uh the CEO and founder of Meta Earth.

His name is uh Patrick or let's say that he's not the typical crypto founder. Uh he worked uh in finance. He has a B finance background for over 20 years. He studied in uh Zuri. uh he lives in Zurich in Dubai everywhere and uh he traveled all the around the world but he found something that bothered all people.

So he said systems are failing people. So after working 20 years in um banking and finance he decided to gather up a 50 million fund and they said I'm going to get the best people in AI in blockchain in technology in green techch. I'm going to gather them and I'm going to start building. And the vision of Patrick was to redefine our identities and finally people could have a voice. Uh now you might wonder what we deliver.

What is the project all about? What is does our system have? First we start very simple. We start with who you are. We give you identity.

You with us just you don't make an account but you become a digital citizen. And with a digital citizen of course we give you a MI ID. As a digital citizen you also need a passport. So to go through it we give you a passport. In this MI pass you can do many things.

You can hold your assets participate in all activities. You can vote. You can vote on public projects. So all the system the backbone of all the system is M network. Minet network is very important for us because it's a blockchain a model blockchain that doesn't get contest congested and it's ready to scale and yes of course we have a multi-blockchain protocol so if you want to communicate with other project yes you can do it our community is very important to us and it's spread all around the world let's say we have 200 plus digital zones and every zone represents a country let's say you might be a user in Kenya in Germany.

You might propose something in the project and the community approves it or rejects it and everything happens on chain. Let's say another important thing is mig greeners you can manage carbon credits directly on chain. So with mig green earth you can make up the pollution you make in the earth. So you don't need to be an environmentalist to do good and to be part of the solution. Uh about tokconomics in total um we have 20 billion me tokens 10 million are destined for world population.

This means that every citizen of the world can uh can take uh and can be part of the project. It destined for you and the other 10 billion is to power the project. Also very important thing we have the MI virtual is somewhere that you can create spaces for meetings for culture for collab collaboration for arts and one important thing is proof of personhood. This is very very quite important in our project because we prove with proof of person on who you are. So you are not a bot, you are not a duplicate.

So when you get into our project is a way to guarantee that you are in one and once only and in this way also the UBI can become more accessible. I want to talk a little bit about the future what what is waiting for us. First of all we have been expanding massively. uh we are in our project we are entering more than 40 zones are already activated like when this PDF was done it was 660,000 me ID holders now we are 800 in only few days and very root soon we will reach 1 million of course we are integrating the crosschain developments so if you want to move assets from our blockchain to Cosmos to Ethereum Yes, you can do that easily. Of course, also we are opening the infrastructure for rollup builders.

We are giving an opportunity to developers and organizations to use our applications. And uh the last things that I can say is to put your MI virtual glasses and uh you are good to go. This is the carry on. Uh now that you have an idea about our project um and about the future before I leave the stage I want to thank token 2049 uh for doing such events and for hosting us. I want to thank the meta earth uh team because they have gone through sleepless nights.

They have worked a lot and we really appreciate that. Um, also to our early community, thank you for trusting us even when the project was not polished enough, but you still were there. And uh, to everyone here today on stage, thank you very much for listening.
