About MetaGravity

MetaGravity is a deep-technology startup headquartered in London which is solving the concurrency problem in simulation for massive virtual worlds and games.

Current game engines and game servers can handle a peak of ~100 players in a self-consistent instance. However, the next generation of online games and metaverse experiences demand much larger simulated realities beyond what is currently feasible think, tens of thousands to millions of players and AI beings! MetaGravity is solving this problem.

Our vision connects a plethora of parallel digital universes with our revolutionary MetaGravity Engine. This engine, unlike traditional grid systems, offers a new dimension to virtual world parallelization, achieving >1000x in world size and complexity. This groundbreaking approach merges non-spatial metrics with decentralized blockchain technologies, paving the way for unlimited possibilities in the realm of virtual realities.
