​Our Mission


​The Virtual Reality Blockchain Alliance (VRBA) is a consortium of organizations working to enable people, property, and money to move freely between virtual worlds. We believe that VR will be used on a global scale for entertainment, work, communication, and commerce, and we work together to establish best practices, protocols, and standards to support that transition and to establish and defend the rights of VR users. 

How It Works

​Like the internet itself, VR is too large an undertaking to be safely or efficiently developed by any single organization.  Instead,  individuals and organizations worldwide will use public blockchains along with other protocols and standards to serve as a point of exchange for common information, and as a means of giving appropriate control and privacy to individuals and content or experience developers.  The VRBA will serve as a meeting place and forum for the organizations developing this technology.

Projects

The VRBA is working on numerous initiatives. Typically these fall into technical projects about interoperability, such as the transfer of digital assets across the metaverse, and policy projects to create an agreed set of principles for governance. A few of the projects are highlighted below:

Enable avatars and objects to move between virtual worlds

People using VR need a standard way to present their name and appearance, without giving up privacy or needing to re-establish identity at each new location.  

Facilitate effective and ethical advertising for VR

Advertising will no doubt be important in VR like it is in the physical world.  The right rules need to be established regarding privacy and disclosure.

Establish a
"Bill of Rights"
​ for  Avatars

How should user data be used and protected? If people move from one world to another, they should expect some basic rights.
