Devlog 250316: Establishing FoundrySpace.nft & Structuring the Metaverse Entry Points

Overview

Today’s focus was on defining the architecture for FoundrySpace.nft, my dedicated Web3 domain, and structuring how Web2 and Web3 users will interact with the metaverse.

Key Developments

1. Securing FoundrySpace.nft as the Web3 Entry Point

• Purchased FoundrySpace.nft, which will serve as the primary Web3 entry point.
  
• Learning the capabilities & limitations of ENS and how decentralized domains function in practice.
  
• Web3 users will access decentralized content natively through blockchain tools, while Web2 users will enter through a traditional domain.

2. Structuring the Web2 & Web3 Experience

• Arynwood.com → Web2 visitors will access content through a standard domain (hosted via IPFS or traditional hosting).
  
• FoundrySpace.nft → Web3 users will enter directly into the metaverse sandbox, interacting with NFT-based spaces, wallets, and smart contracts.
  
• This dual-approach ensures accessibility while keeping a fully decentralized option available.

Current Focus: Tech Stack for Entry Page & Virtual Space

Static Entry Page Considerations

• Needs to be lightweight, fast, and decentralized.
  
• Possible frameworks:
  • Jekyll or Hugo → Simple static Web3-ready landing page.
    
  • Next.js → Allows dynamic NFT integration while keeping performance high.
    
  • SvelteKit → Potential option for optimized UI interactions.
    
• IPFS hosting for full decentralization.

3D Virtual Space Considerations

• Evaluating Three.js, Babylon.js, and A-Frame for rendering.
  
• Exploring self-hosted alternatives to platforms like Spatial and OnCyber.
  
• Need to ensure low gas fees and efficient NFT integration for interactive spaces.

Next Steps

1. Build the static entry page as the first access point.
   
2. Deploy an initial test version on IPFS.
   
3. Experiment with 3D rendering frameworks for the metaverse experience.
   
4. Plan Web3 authentication flows for seamless wallet-based access.

More to come soon as this structure starts taking shape.
