Mark Studholme, a co-founder of MetaMundo, explained the technology behind the project:
“MetaMundo has a set of tools that convert, decimate, and optimize the original 3D ‘parent’ file into individual ‘child’ files, each optimized for a specific metaverse. Using the ERC 721 contract, we mint the parent file as a single NFT. Which serves as a wrapper for the child files and NFTs. As a result, when you collect the parent NFT, it includes all of the child NFTs.”
When the platform integrates more metaverses, Studholme says they’ll “convert and optimize new child files and add them to the parent NFT.”
