Lamina1 is a Tier 1 blockchain optimized for the Open Metaverse. The project caught the eye of its enigmatic team, namely its founders Peter Wessenes and Neal Stephenson. Peter Wessenes is the former chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation, in short, a bitcoin maximalist Neal Stephenson is a popular science fiction writer who explored the concept of a virtual reality world called the meta universe in his 1992 science fiction novel Avalanche.

There's nothing to brag about as far as investors are concerned, the staff of the project itself, Joseph Lubin is better known. Given that the project gets a lot of support from the media sphere, as well as looking at Twitter Neal Stephenson can see the guys from: a16z, multicoin, and other top funds, perhaps in a future investment round will see the Tier I funds. 1.
