Virtual World

Definition

A virtual world is a simulated digital environment where users can interact with each other and with digital objects through avatars. These environments often incorporate elements of social interaction, gaming, and economic activity. In the context of blockchain, virtual worlds frequently leverage non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to represent land, items, and other digital assets, granting verifiable ownership to participants. This integration enables player-driven economies and persistent digital property.
