OnCyber, the Web3-based multiverse for creators best known for its virtual environments that enable a heightened experience of digital assets, recently released a major update that aims to leverage the collective creativity of the wider Web3 community.
Concept to cultural phenomenon
To understand the new tool, WORLD BUILDER, we spoke with the platform’s founder and CEO, Rayan, to provide perspective on the severity of OnCyber’s continued adoption and success, which took us back to the roots.
“OnCyber launched in early 2021 with the premise of being the easiest place to showcase NFTS through immersive experiences,” he explained, adding, “While other metaverse platforms empowered people to create within their ecosystem , none had a user experience that really appealed to all newbies to participate,” as these platforms required capital or complex design skills.

Rayan further explained that “From its inception, OnCyber quickly grew into a cultural phenomenon in Web3, used to showcase some of the most impressive artwork and collections in CryptoArt, representing approximately $1.5 billion in asset value. [via purchases] rendered by their owners or creators in OnCyber worlds.”
The CEO, CryptoPunk and art collector shared that the platform quickly became a place to socialize as they introduced a chat feature in addition to user-controlled avatars. Since the launch of these features, OnCyber has become the go-to platform for a variety of immersive experiences, including Takashi Murakami’s Gagosian exhibit “An Arrow through History,” RTFKT’s Space Pods, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and more.
Another aspect that’s great about these spaces is that even after the physical counterparts have been disassembled and essentially lost to time, OnCyber’s virtual worlds live on, available to visit at will and relive memories.
Furthermore, with the release of its new WORLD BUILDER tool, the platform is now putting the entire Web3 community in a position where their creativity is truly the limit.
