Many experts look at the metaverse as a 3D model of the internet. In simpler terms, it is a place that parallels the physical world, where people get to spend their digital life. To better understand the metaverse concept, we'll need to go through its 7 layers.

In this post, we’ll be focusing on layer 3—Creator Economy.

Directed toward the rise of a new era for creators in general, this layer consists of all the tools and technologies utilised by creators to build the various experiences available in the metaverse. Existing creators aside, even consumers have the opportunity to become a creator themselves through such tools and technologies.

For example, design tools, apps, asset markets, e-commerce platforms and workflow platforms used by creators.

Frameworks are considered a vital part of developing interactive web apps and the backend is what facilitates an application to function. When the internet was first introduced, creators had to code and develop their programming and tools from scratch. However, thanks to backend frameworks, creators can develop web applications without coding and in a much easier and faster manner.

For instance, Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, Laravel and Django which all enables developers to build and ship applications within a rapid timeline. 

Setting up an online web store can be complicated especially for creators who have no knowledge on coding. This is when e-commerce platforms like Shopify, WooComerce, Weebly and Wix come handy.

Through these e-commerce platforms, creators can launch and run a fully-functioning e-commerce site without having to deal with code. Plus, there are plenty of templates, designs and features to choose from!

3D rendering software makes it possible for users to render 3D graphics without the intricacies of coding. Through 3D rendering software, creators can utilize such advanced creation tools to generate photoreal visuals and immersive experiences.

Some of the examples are Unity, Blender, Adobe Dimension, V-Ray, Lumion and many more.

The creator economy is already rising as speak. As we all know, social media platform allows people from all around the world to connect. Through social media platforms, user-generated content can be a variety of subjects and topics, while easily reached by millions of others. Nowadays, even consumers can easily join the creator circle.

Some of the social media platforms that we are familiar with are Youtube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.
