DBS Serves Betterworld On A Platter
By Shikha Singh
DBS is jumping on the metaverse bandwagon in the form of its upcoming DBS BetterWorld virtual universe game in the Sandbox metaverse.
DBS hosted a preview of the concept after spending around a year’s work with The Sandbox, an
Ethereum-based decentralised virtual gaming world. The virtual experience will take the form of an adventure game with about 20 to 25 minutes of playtime while spotlighting sustainability issues, in particular, food waste.
It chose five DBS Foundation-supported organisations from Hong Kong and Singapore for the metaverse game based on their effects on food waste. They engage in activities like making beer out of leftover bread, selling food to low-income groups that is past its expiration date, and farming in urban settings.
In The Sandbox, each is presented as a gamified task. The game won’t start until the platform releases its Alpha Season 4 update.
