MEET48 has introduced the innovative concept of Web5 (Web2 + Web3), encouraging user-generated content (UGC) creation while using blockchain technology to ensure copyright protection and provide token incentives. By integrating AI and MaaS technologies, MEET48 aims to find the optimal path for mainstream Web3 applications. Through the synergistic effect of these four products, MEET48 will offer users a richer entertainment experience and provide new opportunities for the cultivation and development of idols. The platform is poised to give rise to numerous outstanding idols and remarkable creative works.

MEET48 is the first to introduce the fan economy from traditional idol development into the Web3 economic model. By using governance tokens for voting, the platform ensures fair, open, and transparent idol ranking elections. Additionally, MEET48 employs a series of economic models with scientific management mechanisms to create a sustainable positively reinforced ecosystem.

MEET48 is expected to transition into a full blown Metaverse within the year, enabling interoperability across PC clients, web platforms, and mobile devices. The MEET48 Metaverse is an intelligent social platform based on Web 3.0 technology and artificial intelligence. It aims to create a unique virtual city designed specifically for virtual idols and AI-Web3.0 entertainment. Users can create, support, and interact with their favorite virtual idols or the virtual avatars of real idols. As a graphical and intelligent social hub, the Metaverse paves the way for practical consumer-end social products, fostering strong user consensus and loyalty.

In MEET48, users can create their own unique virtual avatars and participate in virtual performances, fan interactions, and meet-and-greet events. Users can own land and buildings, experiencing a variety of game scenarios, including music, dance, parties, pet raising, board games, and fishing.

In the world of MEET48, users can transcend reality and time, embarking on a new immersive AI-driven social experience.

IdolGPT is an AI generation tool developed by the MEET48 team, based on the multimodal AI-LLM "Paro." It is specifically designed for creating 3D virtual human models, along with their photos, audio, and short videos of singing and dancing.

Based on "Paro," IdolGPT uses deep learning techniques to simulate the human creative process, offering users personalized idol creation solutions. Whether in music, dance, or other forms of artistic expression, IdolGPT provides users with an unprecedented creative experience.

IdolGPT will conduct its first overseas testing phase on iOS and Android platforms starting June 25th at 11:00 AM (UTC+8) and is scheduled for official launch later this year. During the testing period, a UGC contest will be held with rewards, offering participants a chance to win $50 USD gift cards.
