Altspace VR

🚀 A New Reality Returns. AltspaceVR is back and reimagined. Currently in development, this revitalized social VR platform is designed to decentralize virtual reality and empower users through Web3, the Fediverse, and peer-to-peer networking. We are building a more resilient, user-driven experience that will be available soon. Originally launched in 2017, AltspaceVR faced challenges in maintaining long-term viability due to centralization. Now, AltspaceVR, LLC has returned in 2025, aiming to create a more resilient, censorship-resistant, and community-driven platform. With decentralization at its core, we are pioneering a new era of social VR by integrating decentralized technologies, including blockchain-powered ownership, federated social networking, and peer-to-peer connectivity. Our Key Features: 🔹 Web3 Integration: Empowering users with decentralized identities, tokenized ownership, and smart contracts for secure interactions. 🔹 Federated Social Networking: Leveraging the Fediverse (via ActivityPub) to allow users to maintain their identities across different VR instances. 🔹 Open-Source Framework (BasisVR): An open-source platform enabling self-hosting, modularity, and the integration of decentralized technologies like IPFS and libp2p. 🔹 P2P Networking: Enhancing platform resilience with decentralized networking options like libp2p and WebRTC, making the platform scalable and fault-tolerant. AltspaceVR’s new approach blends community ownership, privacy-first principles, and interoperability to bring users together in a shared virtual space—free from the constraints of traditional, centralized systems. Join us as we lead the charge in reshaping the future of social VR, offering a platform where users own the experience and control their digital presence.
