What Is The Nemesis?
The Nemesis is a metaverse platform that uses an Ethereum-based token called NEMS for payments and as an in-game reward token. The Nemesis additionally uses non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to represent ownership of virtual land claims, collectible companion characters, and in-game cars.
According to ARAX’s announcement, the metaverse sector has attracted approximately 400 million monthly active users. It added that, by the mid-2030s, the metaverse could have an economic impact of €489 billion in the EU and $760 billion in the U.S. based on external statistics.
