Vault Hill is a blockchain-based, human-centric metaverse that applies urban planning principles to encourage respectful development and monetization of virtual land (VLAND). The platform is designed to let users interact, form relationships, play games, curate art, buy virtual land, own NFTs and transact using $VHC or other cryptocurrencies. Vault Hill says it has secured six partnerships with global brands for digital wearables and health/wellbeing virtual offices and plans to launch the metaverse in Q1 2022. The company reports a community of about 90,000 across social media and an ongoing public sale of its $VHC token on major launchpads (Jan 10–14, 2022). Financially, Vault Hill completed pre-seed and private funding rounds that raised $2.1 million to accelerate development. Founder and CEO Jimi Daodu described the raise as a testament to the team and the product’s uniqueness.
