Build the Future of Commerce in the Metaverse
We use blockchain to create secure, scalable, and immersive shopping experiences.
Turn your products into persistent digital assets and unlock new revenue streams in the Web3 economy.
From Digital Storefronts to Virtual Economies
The transition from flat, 2D websites to immersive 3D worlds marks the next great leap in digital interaction. The metaverse isn't just a virtual space; it's a burgeoning economy. However, for commerce to thrive, it needs a foundation of trust, ownership, and interoperability. This is where blockchain is essential. It provides the immutable ledger needed to verify ownership of digital assets, from virtual real estate to unique apparel and collectibles. We build the on-chain infrastructure that transforms virtual items into valuable, tradable assets, enabling true metaverse commerce and creating persistent value for your brand and your customers in this new digital frontier.

Real-World Metaverse Commerce Success
We move beyond theory to deliver tangible results. Explore how we've helped leading brands and innovative startups build thriving economies in the metaverse.
Case Study: Aura Couture's Virtual Boutique
Industry: Luxury Fashion & Retail
Client Overview: Aura Couture is a heritage luxury fashion house known for its exclusive runway collections. Facing a challenge in connecting with a younger, digitally-native demographic (Gen Z), they wanted to make a bold entrance into Web3 to re-energize their brand image and explore new, innovative revenue channels beyond their traditional brick-and-mortar and e-commerce stores.
"Errna didn't just build us a virtual store; they crafted a new dimension for our brand. The engagement has been phenomenal, and we're now seen as pioneers in digital luxury. The sales in virtual apparel have created an entirely new, high-margin revenue stream for us."
The Problem
Aura Couture's brand perception was aging, and they were losing relevance with the next generation of luxury consumers. They needed a high-impact strategy to capture the attention of Gen Z, demonstrate innovation, and create a new form of brand interaction that felt authentic to the digital age.
Key Challenges:
- Translating the exclusive, high-touch luxury experience into a virtual world.
- Ensuring the security and authenticity of high-value digital assets.
- Creating a seamless user experience for customers new to Web3 and NFTs.
- Generating tangible ROI from a significant investment in an emerging channel.
Our Solution:
We partnered with Aura Couture to design and launch an exclusive virtual boutique within Decentraland, a leading metaverse platform. The solution was a multi-faceted approach to create a holistic Web3 brand experience:
- Immersive 3D Storefront: We built a stunning virtual store that mirrored the brand's architectural aesthetic, complete with interactive displays and social lounges.
- Digital Twin Tokenization: We created high-fidelity, wearable 3D digital twins of their latest runway collection and tokenized each piece as a limited-edition NFT on the Polygon network for low gas fees.
- Integrated Marketplace: A built-in marketplace allowed users to purchase these wearable NFTs directly within the virtual store using both crypto and credit cards, powered by our integrated payment gateway.
- Exclusive Access: Ownership of a wearable NFT also granted the holder exclusive access to virtual fashion shows, designer AMAs, and early access to physical product drops, bridging the digital and physical worlds.
Case Study: PixelForge's Player-Owned Economy
Industry: Gaming
Client Overview: PixelForge Games is a successful independent game studio with a passionate community around their flagship multiplayer online game. While the game was popular, it operated on a traditional Web2 model where players purchased in-game items (skins, weapons) that they didn't truly own and couldn't trade outside the game's closed ecosystem.
"The shift to a player-owned economy was the single most impactful decision we've ever made. Errna's blockchain expertise was critical. Our player retention is through the roof, and the secondary market activity has given our game a life of its own. We couldn't have done it without them."
The Problem
Players were investing significant time and money into acquiring in-game items but had no true ownership or ability to realize the value of their collections. This led to a ceiling on player engagement and the emergence of insecure, black-market trading forums outside the game.
Key Challenges:
- Migrating a massive catalog of existing in-game items to the blockchain.
- Building a secure, on-chain inventory and trading system without disrupting gameplay.
- Ensuring the game's economy remained balanced and wasn't exploited.
- Educating a traditional gaming community on the benefits of NFTs and wallets.
Our Solution:
We engineered a comprehensive blockchain layer for PixelForge's game, transforming its closed economy into an open, player-driven marketplace:
- On-Chain Inventory System: We developed a system to mint all new and future in-game items as NFTs on a scalable Layer 2 solution, giving players verifiable ownership recorded on the blockchain.
- In-Game Marketplace Integration: We built a seamless in-game user interface that connected to a decentralized NFT marketplace, allowing players to list, buy, and sell items securely from within the game client.
- Smart Contract Logic: Custom smart contracts were deployed to handle all trades, enforce game-defined royalties on secondary sales (creating a new revenue stream for the studio), and manage the minting of new, rare items.
- Wallet Onboarding: We integrated a simple, user-friendly wallet creation and management system, making it easy for gamers to secure their new digital assets without prior crypto experience.
Case Study: Terra Firma's Metaverse Showroom
Industry: Real Estate
Client Overview: Terra Firma Properties is a forward-thinking real estate development firm specializing in luxury residential projects. Their traditional sales process for off-plan (pre-construction) properties relied on physical models and 2D renderings, which was costly, geographically limiting, and often failed to convey the true vision of the project to potential international buyers.
"The metaverse showroom has revolutionized our sales process. We're no longer just selling floor plans; we're selling an experience. The ability to reach a global audience and secure commitments through NFTs has dramatically accelerated our pre-sales. Errna delivered a game-changing platform."
The Problem
The sales cycle for off-plan properties was long and inefficient. It was difficult for international investors to visualize the final product, and the process of securing deposits and signing contracts across borders was cumbersome and slow.
Key Challenges:
- Creating a photorealistic and interactive virtual representation of a large-scale development.
- Developing a legally compliant method for securing property reservations using blockchain.
- Attracting and engaging a global pool of high-net-worth investors.
- Integrating the blockchain solution with their traditional sales and legal workflows.
Our Solution:
We developed a standalone, high-fidelity metaverse showroom that allowed investors to experience the property before it was built, coupled with a blockchain-based sales mechanism:
- Photorealistic Virtual Tours: Using architectural plans, we built a fully immersive and interactive 3D model of the entire development, allowing users to walk through different units, customize finishes, and view amenities in real-time.
- Fractionalized NFT Reservations: We created a system where each property unit was represented by an NFT. Investors could purchase these NFTs as a secure, verifiable reservation deposit, with the smart contract outlining the terms of the sale.
- Global Investor Portal: The metaverse experience was accessible via a web browser, opening it up to a global audience without the need for VR hardware. The portal included integrated video chat for virtual sales consultations.
- Smart Contract Automation: The sales process was automated via smart contracts, which handled the deposit, held it in escrow, and provided a clear, immutable record of the reservation, simplifying the subsequent legal process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered. Here’s what you need to know about building your commerce platform in the metaverse.
Metaverse commerce involves buying and selling digital goods and services within immersive 3D virtual environments. Unlike traditional e-commerce, which is typically 2D and transactional, metaverse commerce is experiential and social. The key difference is blockchain-enabled true ownership: users don't just buy a license to use an item; they own a unique, verifiable digital asset (NFT) they can use, display, or resell across an open economy.
No, and this is a critical part of our development philosophy. We specialize in creating seamless user experiences that abstract away the complexity of blockchain. By integrating fiat-onramps (credit card payments) and user-friendly wallet solutions, we make it possible for non-crypto-native users to participate in your virtual economy as easily as they would on a traditional e-commerce site.
The choice depends entirely on your target audience and business goals. Platforms like Decentraland and The Sandbox are great for community-focused, user-generated content, while creating a standalone experience with Unreal Engine or Unity offers maximum control over branding and functionality. We provide a full feasibility study to analyze the pros and cons of each option and recommend the platform that best aligns with your strategic objectives.
Security is our top priority. Our process includes multiple layers of protection: 1) All smart contracts undergo rigorous internal and optional third-party security audits to eliminate vulnerabilities. 2) We build on secure, battle-tested blockchain networks. 3) We integrate secure wallet and custody solutions to protect user assets. 4) Our development practices follow enterprise-grade security standards, informed by our ISO 27001 certification.
ROI in the metaverse can be measured in several ways. Direct ROI comes from the sale of digital assets (NFTs), which can be a high-margin revenue stream. Indirect ROI is equally significant and includes massive brand elevation, increased engagement with younger demographics, valuable PR and media coverage, and the creation of a loyal, invested community. We work with you to define clear KPIs for both direct and indirect returns to measure success.
Timelines vary based on complexity. A Minimum Viable Product (MVP), such as tokenizing a small collection of digital assets and launching them on an existing marketplace, can take as little as 2-3 months. A fully custom, immersive storefront on a platform like Decentraland might take 4-6 months. A standalone, bespoke metaverse world is a more significant undertaking, typically 9-12+ months. We advocate for a phased approach, starting with an MVP to learn and iterate quickly.
