In a nutshell

Second Life, developed by Linden Lab and launched in 2003, is a pioneering virtual world often recognized as the first true metaverse platform. It allows users, known as “Residents,” to create, explore, and interact in a highly customizable and immersive environment. With its proprietary game engine, Second Life enables users to design avatars, build virtual properties, and develop unique experiences ranging from social events to educational programs.

The platform operates on Windows, macOS, and unofficially on Linux, and is accessible through the official Second Life Viewer or third-party viewers like Firestorm. A defining feature is its thriving virtual economy powered by Linden Dollars (L$), which can be traded for real-world currency, making it a hub for virtual businesses and content creation. Residents can buy, sell, and rent virtual land, participate in the economy, or monetize their creations, such as clothing, animations, and buildings.

Although it predates blockchain, Second Life does not integrate blockchain or cryptocurrency; instead, it maintains its own economic system that fosters creativity and commerce without relying on decentralized technologies. Known for its diverse community, Second Life serves as a platform for gaming, role-playing, education, business, and even virtual production studios. It continues to be a groundbreaking example of the possibilities within digital metaverse spaces.

A limitless world where you can create, socialize, and even make money. Truly unique!
