When the term “metaverse” is mentioned, most people\u2019s minds still conjure up scenes of “putting on a VR headset to enter a virtual world”: holding virtual meetings, shopping in virtual malls, and interacting with pixelated avatars in a digital space. However, the reality is that most of these “immersive experiences” remain stuck in the conceptual stage. In daily life, users still rely on WeChat for communication, Taobao for shopping, and Douyin for entertainment. Few are willing to put on a VR headset just for a virtual concert, let alone repeat the process of “creating a new account, learning new operations, and adapting to an unfamiliar interface” on a closed virtual platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The metaverse\u2019s “immersive trap” lies in this: it tries to upend users\u2019 existing digital habits, yet overlooks the most core need\u2014solving real-world digital friction. DBiM, by contrast, takes the opposite approach: it does not aim to build an independent “virtual utopia.” Instead, it integrates metaverse technologies (AI, stablecoins, digital identity) into users\u2019 current lives, starting with “solving daily troubles” and turning the metaverse from a “occasional novelty experience” into an “indispensable practical tool.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The biggest bottleneck in current metaverse development is not insufficiently advanced technology, but a “disconnect between experience and demand.” Most platforms tout “immersion” as their core selling point, yet they fall into three dilemmas that users cannot accept:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Want to try a metaverse social platform? First, you need to buy a VR headset costing over a thousand yuan, download a client that takes up more than 10GB of storage, then spend 30 minutes creating an account and customizing an avatar\u2014only to find that none of your real-life friends are on the platform. This “entry barrier” runs counter to users\u2019 inertia: people are accustomed to opening an app with one tap and connecting with contacts instantly, not investing time and money in a “new world” that may not even fit their daily needs. A 2024 industry survey found that 72% of users who tried metaverse apps abandoned them within a week, citing “too much trouble to get started” as the top reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even without VR devices, many 2D metaverse platforms still force users into fragmented workflows. For example, a user who wants to buy a virtual gift for a friend on a metaverse social app must: 1) Exit their current chat app and open the metaverse platform; 2) Re-verify their identity to log in; 3) Navigate through a complex virtual store interface to find the gift; 4) Use the platform\u2019s proprietary currency (which requires recharging via a separate payment channel). This process takes 15 minutes on average\u2014compared to just 2 minutes to send a red envelope via WeChat. The metaverse, which claims to “simplify life,” ends up adding more steps to users\u2019 daily tasks, leading to what\u2019s known as “metaverse fatigue.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most metaverse experiences focus on “visual spectacle” rather than solving real problems. A virtual concert may have stunning 3D effects, but users still need to buy tickets through a separate website, can\u2019t share the live stream directly to their WeChat Moments, and can\u2019t even save a clip to revisit later. A virtual office allows users to “sit” in a digital meeting room, but it can\u2019t sync with real-world calendars (like Outlook or Google Calendar) or automatically take meeting minutes\u2014functions that users rely on in daily work. This “immersion without utility” makes the metaverse feel like a “digital amusement park” rather than a tool that integrates into life, limiting it to occasional entertainment instead of long-term use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DBiM\u2019s breakthrough lies in shifting the metaverse\u2019s focus from “building a new world” to “improving the existing one.” It leverages metaverse technologies (AI, stablecoins, digital identity) to eliminate friction in users\u2019 current digital lives\u2014no VR headsets, no closed platforms, just seamless integration into apps users already use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DBiM\u2019s initial step is not to launch a grand metaverse platform, but to deploy AI-powered “life companions” (based on its LAM\/VLA architecture) that integrate into users\u2019 daily workflows. These companions act as “smart navigators” for the open internet, handling tedious, repetitive tasks without requiring users to enter a virtual space:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These small, practical functions turn the metaverse\u2019s “intelligence” into something users can feel every day, rather than a distant concept. By 2024, early users of DBiM\u2019s AI companions reported saving an average of 2.5 hours per week on tedious tasks\u2014building trust and adoption before expanding to more complex metaverse experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
