Modular blockchain is heating up. How does Meta Earth achieve continuous expansion of its global user base?
Two years ago, Celestia quickly became the focus of the modular public chain track with considerable airdrop incentives and a tenfold increase achieved within months. However, Celestia is not the only star project. As the modular architecture continues to attract market attention, several emerging projects have emerged, among which the modular public chain with a native DID protocol ------ ME ( Meta Earth ) Network, has attracted active participation from millions of users worldwide in just a few months, thanks to technological innovation and generous public testing airdrop incentives. From its official block explorer, it can be seen that the user base is accelerating growth, making it one of the most promising unicorns in the modular public chain field.
This article will comprehensively analyze the core dimensions of Meta Earth 's background, technological highlights, operational ecology, community development, etc., to deeply explore its unique value and potential opportunities. Through systematic interpretation of these key areas, we aim to present readers with a clear panoramic view, helping everyone gain insights into the innovative foundation and future development trajectory of ME Network.
Pursuing Fairness, Moving Towards the Sun
Despite the rapid development of blockchain technology giving rise to numerous Web3 projects, there are few that can endure for the long term and possess profound value. Behind these successful projects lies a blend of mission-driven efforts and extraordinary accumulation.
Delving into ME Network, it is not difficult to find its ultimate pursuit of "equality," "happiness," and "environmental protection." Meta Earth aims to create a super-dimensional world dedicated to "enhancing human happiness and promoting ecological sustainability." This lofty vision is rare in the crypto world, and after understanding the founder of Meta Earth, Patrick Oerer, this vision becomes less surprising. Patrick Oerer’s decades of experience in traditional technology finance, coupled with the injustices, inequalities, ecological destruction, and other issues that have led to family tragedies and species extinction, has made him resolutely seek solutions. The fairness and decentralization potential embedded in blockchain technology inspired Patrick to create Meta Earth.
Patrick Oerer first established MetaEarth Holding Group to raise ample funds for the project. After nearly three years of development, he built a diversified business layout that includes blockchain technology research and development, artificial intelligence innovation, real estate development, and physical investment and mergers. This strategy laid a solid foundation for the subsequent development of Meta Earth.
At the same time, to promote the project's compliance and global development, Patrick also founded the Meta Earth Association in Switzerland, with sufficient startup funding support provided by MetaEarth Holding Group for early investments in key areas and sustainable development plans. This layout not only ensures a stable start for Meta Earth but also gives it a compliance advantage in future regulatory environments.
Furthermore, to genuinely enhance human happiness and improve the living conditions of underprivileged groups, Meta Earth has taken a pioneering step with a warm heart and innovative practices: launching the "Unconditional Basic Income" program, aimed at providing daily unconditional basic income to every ME ID user who completes KYC certification, allowing everyone to feel the benefits brought by technology and fairness.
Through the "Unconditional Basic Income" mechanism, Meta Earth not only transforms "happiness" from an unattainable dream into a tangible reality but also demonstrates the immense potential of blockchain technology in the field of human welfare through practical actions. Regardless of where users are located, they can easily integrate into the Meta Earth ecosystem and enjoy this inclusive and fair benefit. This is not just economic support but also a form of humanistic care. Rather than being an innovative Web3 project burdened with a lofty "faith," Meta Earth is more like a bridge to happiness connecting the physical and digital worlds.
Solid Technology, Promising Future
When discussing the value of a public chain, technological highlights are undoubtedly one of the core evaluation dimensions. From the publicly available white papers and community materials, these technological solutions can be summarized:
1. Modular Architecture
The modular architecture adopted by the Meta Earth network combines Rollup technology with a decentralized sequencer, decoupling the single-layer blockchain both horizontally and vertically. The ME Network architecture is horizontally divided into execution layer, settlement layer, data availability, and consensus layer, significantly improving the overall blockchain network processing efficiency. This layered design not only supports larger-scale business instruction processing but also meets the demands of high concurrency and big data processing.
Vertical decoupling focuses on the classification and rule-based integration of business modules. For example, functions such as transaction broadcasting, account management, and payment settlement are split into independent modules, facilitating flexible maintenance and individual upgrades. This modular design significantly enhances the scalability of ME Network, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the on-chain ecosystem.
2. Multi-Chain Integration
Secondly, ME Network provides a complete set of ME-SDK development tools, greatly improving developers' efficiency and reducing development costs. Through these tools, developers can quickly and flexibly build Rollup-chains according to specific business needs and achieve efficient interconnection between multiple chains relying on MBC. ME Network also supports independent deployment and upgrading of modules, allowing DApps and Rollup-chains to interact with modules through dedicated interfaces, greatly enhancing the network's elasticity and scalability. This flexibility not only lowers the technical development threshold but also provides core support for building a multi-chain integrated ecosystem.
3. Decentralized Sequencer
To address issues such as "single point of failure" and "over-centralization" in traditional L2 centralized sequencer networks, ME Network has introduced a decentralized sequencer network solution. Specifically, when ME Hub (L1) integrates a dedicated Rollup-chain (L2) management module, nodes can participate in the sequencer election by staking a certain amount of MEC on ME Hub (L1). Successfully elected nodes will be listed on the Rollup-chain's sequencer list and will be responsible for ordering transactions on the chain. At the same time, the Rollup-chain will dynamically select proposers based on the staking weight of the nodes, with proposers responsible for packaging and ordering blocks. If a sequencer behaves dishonestly while processing transactions, other nodes can initiate a challenge, and if successful, the violating sequencer will lose part of its stake.
Although ME Network uses Optimistic Rollup, which typically has a "challenge window" of up to 7 days, ME Network has improved this. By generating zero-knowledge proofs for transactions in the challenged block and submitting them to ME Hub for verification, the challenge window has been directly shortened to less than 3 days. This not only reduces waiting time and transaction fee costs but also makes the entire sequencer network system operate more efficiently and simply.
4. Privacy-Preserving On-Chain Identity Declaration Protocol
To better support blockchain applications in industries such as RWA (Real World Assets on-chain) and traditional finance, Meta Earth has launched the KYC-supported ME ID Protocol, providing reliable identity authentication solutions for all future on-chain transaction scenarios requiring identity verification. To protect user privacy, the ME ID Protocol combines zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption technology, achieving an efficient combination of privacy protection and identity verification. Each user with a ME ID possesses a personal sovereign identity, allowing them to control their data and decide on access permissions and usage methods. This design makes ME ID not only an on-chain identity declaration within the Meta Earth ecosystem but also an important credential for users to enter the Meta Earth world.
Clearly, from this series of technological layouts, it can be seen that Meta Earth has made ample preparations and technical planning for large-scale compliance applications globally from the project's early stages. Its forward-looking layout not only demonstrates strong development potential but also indicates that a broad and large ecosystem will be built within the next 1 to 2 years, setting a new benchmark for compliant applications in the blockchain industry.
Clear Roadmap, Steady Operations
Compared to projects that quickly attract market attention through high-profile marketing, the Meta Earth team has shown a distinct low-key attitude. However, this low profile does not mean a reduction in posture; on the contrary, all disclosed data and materials confirm that "pragmatism" is the genetic background of Meta Earth, permeating every step of its development.
From the operational trajectory presented by the official and the disclosed roadmap, Meta Earth has always adhered to a steady and solid strategy, gradually advancing towards its established goals.
As early as 2022, the Meta Earth team initiated the first phase, focusing on building ME Network. After two years of meticulous refinement, ME Network officially launched its global public testing event on April 17, 2024. Over the past two years, Meta Earth has not only focused on creating a high-performance public chain but has also dedicated itself to expanding and perfecting the ecological landscape. From improving the ME ID Protocol to realizing ME ID, from launching ME Pass to continuously optimizing its functions, to developing innovative decentralized sequencer network solutions, each step showcases the solid technical strength of the Meta Earth team.
Meta Earth has not stopped at its current achievements but continues to move forward steadily according to a clear roadmap. According to official plans, 2025 will be a key year for the development of Meta Earth. The team will focus on launching the modular ME Network v2.0, starting Rollup-chain testing, and improving DeFi infrastructure. It is foreseeable that 2025 will be a year of rapid growth for the Meta Earth ecosystem, yielding abundant results.
At the same time, Meta Earth has launched a global navigator recruitment program, with dozens of countries and regions already joining the community building, attracting a large number of high-quality users to participate, gradually forming a healthy community ecosystem centered on real users. This solid community growth will provide a strong foundation for the technological innovation and ecological explosion of ME Network.
Rejecting False Prosperity, Significant Growth of Real Users
As is well known, public chains often attract a large number of users to participate during the early testing phase through airdrop incentives to achieve cold starts and user guidance. However, while the "wealth creation effect" brings short-term popularity, it frequently triggers behaviors such as virtual address registration and volume manipulation, resulting in inflated user data and ultimately leading to a sharp decline in on-chain activity, with public chain ecosystems often becoming "ghost chains."
ME Network has chosen a more robust path. In its user growth strategy, ME focuses more on building "real users" rather than merely stacking user numbers. All participants must undergo KYC verification to obtain their exclusive ME ID, effectively eliminating fake addresses and malicious volume manipulation, ensuring the long-term sustainable development of the ecosystem.
In Meta Earth, each ME ID user will receive one permanently staked MEC (the native token of Meta Earth) for free and automatically earn staking rewards generated by that MEC daily. Additionally, inviting friends to mint ME IDs will also yield MEC rewards, and users can earn more additional rewards by participating in the ME Ambassador Node Reward Program. For more details, you can follow the official X account for the latest updates or visit the official website to check official activities and benefits.
Thanks to these pragmatic designs, Meta Earth has become very popular in many countries and regions around the world, and the global community has begun to experience real and effective rapid growth. From the ME block explorer, it can be seen that the number of users on-chain who have completed KYC certification has exceeded 670,000, and the number of unverified users is expected to exceed 1,000,000+, with a significant influx of users still occurring during the public testing phase, indicating that the growth of Meta Earth’s on-chain users has indeed shown strong development momentum.
Conclusion
As Meta Earth advocates, "Everyone is equal, everyone has sovereignty, and everyone has income," Meta Earth is steadfastly realizing these visions. Pragmatism is a true reflection of every step of its development.
Although ME Network is still in the early stages of v1.0, its robust operational strategy and solid technical foundation have already earned Meta Earth high recognition from users in many countries and regions around the world. The ecological layout of Meta Earth has begun to take shape, and it has the potential to become a leading unicorn in the modular track or even the entire public chain field in the future, with development potential that is highly anticipated.
