At the beginning of our project, we felt annoyed about selecting the right name for the project and this lasted for a long time with no answer. In January 2021, what we were doing was quite creative and interesting that no one had done it before. We made an avatar to synconise the real world movement with a voice, which is completely different than what we experienced in MMORPG before. One teammate suddenly said, why not call us MAY, which stands for “Meet Another You”, because you will be another one in the virtual world and you can meet others. This sounds great and we decided to use this as our project name till now.
When we look back, and realise the name stands for what we really want to do. MAY represents a possibility that everyone in this world could use his/her avatar to express themselves, to decorate their own metaverse, to establish their own rules, and to share their joy with others. I believe this is also our starting point and will be kept forever. In the wave of WEB3.0, we can not buidl a centralised platform which takes value from the users and content creators. What MAY need to do is to act as a companion, to accompany everyone and to share the excitement of the growth of the ecosystem. From taking everything in control to helping everyone who owns their data to achieve their dream.
In MAY, we want to respect every user from mental to physical contribution. Therefore, we spend most of the time improving technology and products day and night, which is so long. Even though the product still has a long way to go, we think it is capable to some extent and should bring the community onboard. During this process, vasts of people helped us and provided useful advice, and, of course, some critics. Sadly, we didn't understand the insights and moved like a blinded person, selfishly believing our micro-innovation could have subversively market reaction. The crucial reality is coming sooner than we expected, and after rethinking our mistakes as well as lackness, we think it is time to make some changes.
Community is an indispensable part of WEB3.0, and is also the best partner of start-up in the era of WEB3.0. To some extent, what we are now doing is serving every community member. Those members are the trustable foundation for the bright future. Through better technology and rules, helping people in WEB3.0 to better realise their dream is our core value. Therefore, we hope to have more people to join our community to buidl metaverse which belongs to ourselves together.
Openness and link is the foundation of MAYVerse. Although the expression of MAY still like product in WEB2.0, we hope to work with the community to improve our product and service, towards the WEB3.0. Meanwhile, we also hope MAY could be an entry which links more users who have not experienced WEB3.0 to the next generation of Internet. And this is just a beginning. LET'S DO IT TOGETHER.
