// Making compelling interactive experiences is hard. Building them on top of open Metaverse standards is even harder. In the future, smaller developers will need specialized consultants to help with common attack vectors due to Metaverse interoperability.
// 2029: A private Telegram channel
“Thanks for reaching out to InteropInc. We specialize in making your ‘Open Metaverse’ project successful.
“By declaring your experience ‘open’ and providing interoperability, you are rolling out the red carpet for exploiters. Maybe 4chan or reddit users decide to brigade your ‘verse, to crash its economy for lulz. Or someone wants to farm your experience for achievements and currency. Or some teenager decides to attempt to swat users.
“Our services include an initial pass over your systems and looking for exploits and weakness. We then provide experts to help patch it. Among the attack vectors we look at are:
Physics engine
Rendering engine
Communication systems
Identity
Currency, Objects, Economy, and Rewards
Monetization approaches, both crypto and fiat
“We can’t change 4chan or deep web communities, but we do have deep agents who are part of those communities to act as early warning systems. In critical cases, we can also help redirect the gathering storm away from your organization.
“We also maintain our own internal ‘bad actors’ list. We maintain ongoing monitoring of their activity in a number of forums, be it known crypto wallets, Discord communities, streaming services, and other signals. The signals from our extensive prior work inform this dataset, so your community management team doesn’t need to start from scratch. And yes, our work on your project will help improve our overall monitoring systems for all our clients.
“We look forward to working with you.
<#Interop-Internal> Hey, we just landed another one. Add them to the monitor list.
