Connecting Virtual Worlds at Scale into the Open Metaverse, with Herman Narula of Improbable
In this episode of The Metaverse Podcast, we host Herman Narula, CEO and Co-Founder of Improbable, a company pioneering new ways to connect, create, and build virtual worlds.
Join our host Jamie Burke as he explores Improbable's metaverse vision with Herman. Whether you're a tech founder, developer, or gaming enthusiast, tune in to:
Explore how Improbable overcame immense technical challenges to enable large-scale virtual worlds and metaverse experiences.
Learn why Improbable now prioritizes reliability over complexity when building the open metaverse.
Discover Improbable's pragmatic adoption of blockchain, which they view as infrastructure rather than the core experience.
Dive into how the metaverse can meet needs for human fulfillment that many games miss through closed ecosystems.
Delve into how Improbable built Morpheus, the core networking and rendering technology enabling new metaverse experiences, and mSquared, the services creating an interoperable digital economy - representing an evolution beyond just selling technology to building a shared network.
Gaming is arguably one of the most important ways to onboard new entrants into the Open Metaverse. It provides the utility of immediate entertainment, and, unlike other blockchain protocols, does not require a deep understanding of tech, tokenomics, and other such barriers to entry.

Fragnova has created a decentralised network that allows developers to use assets created by others in their games for a royalty.
Through the Fragnova Marketplace, gamers will be able to sell or trade their assets with others, allowing for a symbiotic relationship between platforms that does not exist in the current walled-garden environment.
By creating this distributed, borderless, and peer-to-peer gaming network, games are not subject to deactivation of their networks, and can stay active for as long as the community is interested in playing them.
ZK tech is still at a very early stage. The efficiency of proof generation is far from satisfied. Most existing use cases are around scaling solutions while privacy is relatively less
Three main growth potentials in the near future:
Infra & toolings to simplify the ZKP integration for developers;
Scaling solutions for more novel use-cases e.g. zk cross-chain bridge & storage proof. This could facilitate the interoperability in a multi-chain, multi-layer world;
Privacy and identity solution that bridges Web2 & Web 3 e.g. zk identity system & compliance tools
We need ‘Practical Privacy’ solutions, which means 1) it successfully preserves the user’s privacy; 2) it’s aligned with general compliance standards; 3) user experience isn't sacrificed. Users can still enjoy the personalized UX like Web2
ZK tech plays an important role in bridging Web2 and Web3.
