He writes, \u201cAnd while there will be many proprietary (and very fun) theme parks in the metaverse, I\u2019m even more excited by the opportunity in the Switzerlands: a metaverse powered by a robust creator-economy enabled through decentralization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This, of course, isn\u2019t the first seven-layer model to lay out a critical framework.
