What RP1 does
RP1 (operating as Metaversal Corporation, d/b/a RP1) is a privately held spatial internet infrastructure company building open-standards-based software for the metaverse. The company develops Artemis, marketed as the world's first native metaverse browser, powered by the Sneeze open-source spatial computing engine released under Apache 2.0 through the Open Metaverse Browser Initiative (OMBI). Its underlying platform components include MVMF (Metaverse Virtual Machine Fabric) for multi-user spatial networking, Statabase (a real-time database layer claiming 200-500x server productivity gains), Spatial Fabrics (discoverable environment definitions attached to a universal fabric), and RP1 Spaces (free immersive XR meeting spaces accessible via URL on any device).
The company's primary customers are individual developers, designers, and creators who self-host 3D worlds and tools on RP1's open platform via a self-serve developer portal, with secondary segments including enterprises building digital twins across AR, VR, and 2D devices, and general consumers using RP1 Spaces for virtual meetings and social gatherings. RP1 generates revenue primarily through annual subscriptions on volumetric "land" parcels (approximately $2/year for a quarter-acre equivalent at 20m height) modeled as domain-name-like leases, plus virtual property reservations and RP Token (cryptocurrency) payments alongside US dollar transactions. Go-to-market is product-led and community-led, relying on Discord engagement, open hackathons, design challenges with monetary awards, and event presence at AWE conferences.
RP1 is incorporated in Delaware with a registered mailing address in Dover, operates with 1-10 employees, and has no disclosed venture capital or institutional investors. Strategic positioning is anchored in open-standards advocacy through co-founded partnerships with the Metaverse Standards Forum, Khronos Group, and W3C, positioning the company as the open alternative to walled-garden metaverse platforms.

Revenue model
- Land / Parcel Leasing: RP1 leases 3D volumetric parcels (land) on an annual subscription basis, priced nominally at approximately $2/year for the land required to model a large home on a quarter-acre property 20m high. Land works similarly to domain names — first come, first served with annual renewal.
- Virtual Property Reservations and Products: RP1 sells virtual property reservations in the Spatial Internet and other products/services through the platform. Customers can place deposits to reserve virtual property.
- RP Token Payments: Payments may be made in RP Tokens (cryptocurrency) in addition to US dollars for products and services purchased through the platform.

RP1 product offering
Product offeringCore offering
RP1 builds the world's first native metaverse browser (Artemis) and an open spatial-internet platform that allows users and developers to access, create, and self-host 3D spatial experiences (spatial fabrics) via URL from any device — mobile, desktop, or VR headset — without app stores or downloads. The platform is powered by the open-source Sneeze browser engine, MVMF for real-time multi-user networking, and Statabase for high-performance real-time data, enabling interoperability across independent operators.
Product overview
RP1 is pioneering the open spatial internet through a platform-plus-modules architecture. At its core is Artemis, the world's first native metaverse browser powered by the open-source Sneeze spatial computing engine, enabling users to browse spatial fabrics via proximity or URL. The platform offers RP1 Spaces for free immersive XR meeting environments, supported by foundational technologies including Statabase (high-performance real-time database enhancing server productivity 200-500x), Metaverse Servers (self-hosted backend infrastructure), and Spatial Fabrics (discoverable environment definitions). Developers can build tools and services including the open-source Manifolder Suite for AI-assisted scene editing, while creators can build digital twins of real-world places attached to Earth coordinates. The ecosystem emphasizes open standards through the Open Metaverse Browser Initiative (OMBI) to ensure interoperability without proprietary lock-in.

RP1 competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Roblox Corporation: Roblox is the largest UGC virtual world platform with a self-serve creator economy and massive concurrent-user scale. It targets the same creators, developers, and immersive 3D use cases as RP1 but via a proprietary walled garden rather than open standards.
- Unity Software: Unity provides the dominant real-time 3D engine and creation tooling for spatial computing, AR/VR, and games. It overlaps with RP1's developer-tool positioning and the universe of spatial-fabric creators RP1 courts.
- Meta (Horizon Worlds / Reality Labs): Meta operates Horizon Worlds and Quest, the highest-profile proprietary metaverse and XR ecosystem. It represents the walled-garden alternative that RP1's open-metaverse browser initiative is explicitly designed to counter.
Direct peers
- Decentraland Foundation: Decentraland operates a blockchain-based open virtual world with land parcels, an in-world token economy, and a creator marketplace. Like RP1, it emphasizes open participation, virtual land leases, and crypto/token payments, making it the closest analogue in the Web3 virtual-world category.
- Improbable (M² / MSquared): Improbable's M² platform provides the spatial-networking and sharded back-end infrastructure powering massive multiplayer worlds. It competes with RP1's MVMF/Statabase stack for the same metaverse-server workloads aimed at developers and enterprises.
- Gather Presence: Gather offers lightweight 2D/3D spatial meeting and event spaces via URL access with no downloads. It competes with RP1 Spaces for the same friction-free, device-agnostic social-meeting workloads.
- Spatial Labs: Spatial provides cross-device immersive meeting and collaboration spaces accessible via URL/QR on web, mobile, and headsets, directly mirroring RP1 Spaces' friction-free, no-download value proposition for meetings and social XR.
- Sandbox (Animoca Brands): The Sandbox is a Web3 voxel-based metaverse with NFT land, a creator marketplace, and SAND token monetization that closely parallels RP1's land-lease plus RP Token model and UGC toolchain.
Emerging players
- Hadean: Hadean offers distributed compute infrastructure for ultra-scale real-time spatial simulations serving defense, enterprise, and metaverse workloads. It competes for the same high-concurrency back-end layer that RP1's MVMF/Statabase targets.
Others
- Khronos Group: Khronos is the open-standards consortium behind glTF, OpenXR, and other spatial-computing specifications. It is an OMBI partner of RP1 and shapes the underlying interoperability layer that RP1's open metaverse browser depends on.
