The project was announced during the FAB23 Bhutan International Conference held in Thimphu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DHI partnered with Smobler from Singapore and The Sandbox, a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Animoca Brands. Together, they&#8217;re building a digital realm that lets people experience the beauty of Bhutan&#8217;s culture, history, and art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bhutanverse is like a special piece of land in The Sandbox, a big digital world based on blockchain technology. It&#8217;s like a portal where people from around the world can visit and feel like they&#8217;re in Bhutan. This digital space will feature traditional Bhutanese designs, art, and buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ujjwal Deep Dahal, the CEO of DHI, explained that Bhutanverse is a space for creative people from all over the world to come together. Artists, developers, and architects who are interested in new technology will have a special place to share their ideas and work on exciting projects. This virtual space will also let people explore how cool Web3 technologies can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main goal of Bhutanverse is to help people learn and grow. It will do this by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Creating a community of people who love new technology in Bhutan and around the world.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connecting Bhutan with the global community that works on the internet&#8217;s next big things.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Giving students, business owners, and creative minds a place to play with new tech ideas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>DHI is starting Bhutanverse with a big challenge. They&#8217;re asking artists to design the world together. This will speed up the project and help them find the best ideas. The virtual world will showcase the creations by local artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loretta Chen from Smobler said that Bhutanverse is not only a fun project, but it can also help people make money and learn new things. It&#8217;s like a digital city without borders, where anyone can join and make cool things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sebastien Borget from The Sandbox said that they&#8217;re proud to help Bhutanese creators find new jobs and share their culture with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bhutanverse is one of the many things DHI is doing with Web3 and blockchain tech. They&#8217;re also working on a digital ID project and a carbon credit platform. These projects are helping Bhutan grow and be a part of the global technology world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DHI&#8217;s CEO Dahal believes that Bhutanverse is a big step into the future. It will help Bhutanese people use new tech to build great things and find exciting new jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the author<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anjali Kochhar covers cryptocurrency stories in India as well as globally.
