CYB: Craft-World’s new currency ushers in a season of creativity and shared economy

Craft-World takes a decisive step in its growth by introducing Cybercoin (CYB), the new virtual currency that inaugurates a true internal economy within the metaverse. With a transparent value – 100 CYB equals 1 euro – the system is designed to boost the participation of grid inhabitants, attract new creators, and offer opportunities to artists and builders.

The first phase will be a test, but the introduction of CYB already marks a significant turning point: Craft’s metaverse is evolving, but without losing its community spirit.

Why introduce a currency? The vision of owner Licu Rau

The owner of Craft-World, Raffaele Macis (Licu Rau), has repeatedly highlighted a critical issue that has slowed down the development of the regions in recent years: free plots were often claimed but then abandoned.

Almost 100 plots were occupied by inactive users, who only logged in to click on the rent box.

Cybercoin addresses this problem with a balanced solution:

• land is no longer completely free, but has a symbolic cost of 120–150 CYB per month,
• this amount can be earned directly within Craft,
• new, already tested scripts allow you to receive CYB ** by stationing yourself in certain sims** or sitting on interactive objects,
• participating in events, exploring new regions, or taking part in grid life, you can accumulate enough CYB to keep a lot active without any real expense.

The introduction of the currency is therefore not an obstacle, but a way to make the use of virtual land more responsible and participatory, keeping the grid alive and rich in content.

The vocation for sharing: the unchanged heart of Craft

Since its inception, Craft-World has distinguished itself for its rare vocation for sharing.

Collaboration, mutual aid, free creativity: these are the elements that have made Craft one of the most welcoming and supportive grids in the OpenSim ecosystem.

The introduction of CYB does not change this spirit, but reinforces it, providing tools to encourage active participation and to enhance the value of users who are actually present.

Licu Rau clearly emphasises this:

‘My hope is that this new development will not hinder the spirit of sharing and collaboration that has always been at the heart of our grid.’

The currency does not raise barriers, but multiplies possibilities, giving continuity to Craft’s identity as a creative and inclusive space.

A new economy for creators, scripters, builders and artists

CYB opens the curtain on a true internal economy that will attract new content creators, script developers and digital talents.

The currency allows you to:

• sell items,
• develop HUDs and interactive systems,
• offer creative services,
• activate a more dynamic internal market.

From an artistic point of view, too, new scenarios are opening up.

As director of the Metaverse Museum, I consider CYB a historic opportunity for artists:

it allows them to sell their works not in the museum – which remains a space dedicated to experimentation and culture – but in galleries designed specifically for sales, creating for the first time a real bridge between artistic production and economic sustenance.

A more active, more expressive and more sustainable grid is taking shape through this light but effective economy.

“Free” land is back: no longer free, but better than before

Among the most appreciated new features is the return of the famous free plots, now available in the Atlantic region on a trial basis:

• 8 new plots,
• approximately 10,000 m²,
• over 1900 prims,
• automatic allocation.

The cost is 150 CYB every 30 days, an amount that any active resident can easily earn through grid activities.

Tenants can earn up to 200 CYB per month by participating in events or visiting special places.

An example already in place: 8 CYB every 15 minutes at the Christmas Market.

In addition, those who have never rented before enjoy an immediate free month.

Conclusion: a richer, more participatory and creative future

With the introduction of CYB, Craft-World enters a new era:

• it encourages the active presence of residents,
• enhances the work of creatives,
• revitalises the land market,
• offers new opportunities to artists,
• increases the sustainability and vitality of the grid.

All without betraying its deepest identity: a community that grows through sharing.

Cybercoin does not transform Craft into a world dominated by economics, but into a more responsible, dynamic and fertile metaverse, ready to welcome new generations of creators and digital dreamers.
