The Somnium Creators Fund is a partnership between Somnium Space, Winklevoss Capital & Vinny Lingham amongst others in the space, designed to fund groundbreaking disruptive projects and innovative creators who are building for the digital economy.  

 

The company will use the award to develop their Metaverse Education experience, ‘Athenaverse’, which is designed to give students a more immersive and interactive learning environment.  The project, which is based on the blockchain-based virtual world of Metaverse, will provide a unique learning environment for students around the world. 

 

Major recognition
