Metaskins Co-Founder David Cummings said the decentralized metaverse is more promising to creators than centralized projects from major tech companies.
Metaskins Co-Founder: Metaverse not ‘Meta and Intel’
Metaskins Studio Co-Founder David Cummings believes that decentralization is key to the Metaverse reaching its full potential, for creators and users.
Broadly speaking, the Metaverse can refer to the online digital world where people can work, play and socialize. Many people believe the Metaverse already exists in Web2 games like Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite.
The Metaverse, of course, is a major developing theme in blockchain. Some predict huge growth in wearable Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) in parallel with the rise of the Metaverse. The idea of clothes made of pixels has been around for a long time, for example, in video games. In the blockchain Metaverse, people can explore their preferred fashions with NFT outfits.
Metaskins is one company that’s making waves in the Metaverse. Beyond character skins and wearables, the Metaverse design studio also specializes in Metaverse infrastructure, gaming and events.

At the recent Messari Mainnet event in New York City, BSC News had the opportunity to speak with Cummings to learn more about his thoughts on the Metaverse.
“I've always been very interested in crypto and investing in crypto, etc. Just from watching the younger generation, and even for people my own age, this proved to me that Metaverse would become an important part of the next revolution of the internet and has become such an important part of my life since then. To me, it doesn't seem like it stops here,” Cummings said.
Metaskins has thrown successful Metaverse events, from partnerships like Bare Knuckle Fight Championships to Metaverse casino nights in Decentraland. The company created high-resolution 3D art in The Holy One's NFT collection as well as in The Fetus Apes NFT collection. In addition, Metaskins has helped major legacy companies get on board the Web3 revolution, such as Etro and PUMA.
The Decentralized Metaverse
Major tech companies are competing to stake their claims in the online Metaverse via their centralized platforms. For example, Facebook renamed itself Meta last year, and soon after Microsoft announced that its Teams videoconferencing product would become the workplace Metaverse of choice.
Meanwhile, decentralized Web3 Metaverses are attracting billions of dollars in venture capital.

But, what do decentralized Metaverse projects offer that giants like Meta and Microsoft do not? Cummings said centralized Metaverses constrain creativity and restrict potential earnings.
“Centralized ecosystems require creators to follow their guidelines completely. There are so many different barriers to get around that it ends up being a terrible experience for the creator,” Cummings said. “The first thing you're going to get is probably 12% of the pie. Second, the minute they say this isn't good for their brand or product, you're out.”
Web3 allows users to move digital assets across platforms, Cummings said, which can exponentially increase the value of those assets compared to Web2.
Music NFTs, for example, let listeners own and play music on any platform, making them more valuable. Further, the artist benefits directly from the sale of the NFT.
“You know, if you're part of this decentralized Metaverse ecosystem, everyone wants to support each other's projects and visions because they understand that the work that goes into each initiative and that 100% of its profits go back to the creators,” Cummings said.
Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, described Web3 as "an autonomous creation in which users, if not owners, are beneficiaries."
“So I think there's something really important about building out the decentralized universe. That's the members, and the people. When I think of the Metaverse, I don't think of Meta and Intel,” Cummings said.

Binance VIP Traders Informed of $4B Settlement Back in September

The exclusive gathering took place at a luxurious Singapore night club in September, where attendees engaged with Binance executives and probed about the potential settlement.
Binance reportedly hosted an exclusive dinner for its most significant market makers in September. The gathering, held at a prestigious Singapore nightclub, was an intimate setting where select VIP traders gained insights into the impending $4 billion settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, according to a recent report from Bloomberg.
The private dinner, organized for Binance's top traders, unfolded in the upscale 1880 members-only club. Attendees, consisting of market makers and traders, engaged in discussions with Binance executives about the company's legal challenges. The conversations revolved around the potential $4 billion fine, leaving attendees convinced that Binance could afford and would settle such a substantial amount.
Attendees' Perspectives
Reports suggest that attendees, after breaking into smaller groups, sought clarification on Binance's legal troubles. They left the dinner with a heightened expectation of the $4 billion settlement, emphasizing the significant financial impact it would have on the exchange.
Former CEO Changpeng Zhao was notably absent from the gathering, with the then-head of regional markets, Richard Teng, representing the company.
In response to the reports, a Binance spokesperson disputed certain aspects of the event's depiction while refraining from specifying the inaccuracies, as per The Block. This discrepancy in accounts raises questions about the transparency surrounding Binance's legal challenges and its communication with stakeholders.
Implications of the Settlement
Binance’s $4 billion settlement with U.S. authorities, including the Department of Justice, Department of the Treasury, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, marked one of the largest corporate settlements in U.S. history.
The resolution concluded a criminal investigation into allegations of money laundering and sanctions violations, settling many of Binance's legal troubles in the U.S. However, Binance.US and Changpeng Zhao still face a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
