/// Launched in 2022 with its own NFT collection, VIPE Heroes, featuring a unique minting mechanic that allowed users to "reroll" and preview their avatars in 3D before finalizing their purchase. Built using CryptoAvatars technology, Vipe offered a platform to mint, trade, and customize VRM-based avatars. Later, they released smaller collections with the same innovative minting process.
/// Later, VIPE expanded its offerings by allowing users to create their own NFT contracts and launch custom avatar collections. They enhanced the 3D viewer with animations for a more immersive experience. Vipe also integrated various blockchain-based avatar collections, supporting Ethereum and Ethereum Layer 2 networks, creating a hub where users could access and manage any VRM project within the blockchain ecosystem.
/// It was also implemented across various metaverse platforms like Hyperfy, Nifty Island, and Oncyber, allowing users to use their avatars in these virtual spaces.
Additionally, Vipe introduced MYVIPE, an avatar generator that enabled users to create VRM avatars directly on the web. MYVIPE avatars were off-chain assets tied to user accounts, but they were never minted as NFTs, offering a simpler and non-blockchain-based way to create and manage avatars.
Opportunity
/// VIPE ultimately shut down in the summer of 2024 due to the challenging bear market conditions and a decline in demand for the Metaverse.
As a result, much of the platform's assets and services are no longer accessible. For now.
