Break Ground

Every region of land has a pre-defined amount of building credits that can be used however you want.
More construction work can be purchased separately for complex buildings.

Build Up

As a Cornerstonian, you can build structures with the material from your land and building credits. You can build offices, galleries, stages or homes to make your world your own. Your art and experiences aren’t visible to the public. 

Ownership

As a Cornerstonian, you can use building credits and materials to build custom solutions for your needs. You own and control all the 3D assets in your land area. 

A New Dawn

In Cornerstone, there’s natural light for most of time, reflected from the nearby moon. The moon starts setting every Friday on the Earth´s day cycle and starts rising again on Monday, casting light over the entire island.

Cornerstonians

The living beings of Cornerstone are human-featured avatars called “Cornerstonians”. It’s up to them to grant the right to build in the region they own. 

Cornerstonians can invite guests to their own regions as a foundational right of land ownership. Avatars are crafted based on your instructions utilizing the latest metahuman technology.  

 

Own and Build

Land buyers are granted the right to build whatever they want on their land based on the building credits and construction materials they own. Cornerstonians hold ownership of everything they build.

Explore and Invite

Cornerstonians can explore the land outside their region according to the access rights of other landowners and invite guests on to their land.

Create and Sell

The land can be resold to people outside the community, in which case the new owner will become a Cornerstonian. Anything that’s built can be resold to other Cornerstonians. Building materials and construction credits can also be resold within the community. Even guest invitations can be sold to other Cornerstonians.
