01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Overeality was a Palo Alto blockchain startup billing itself as the world's first 'people-powered NFT community' - a curated metaverse where fan communities governed by DAOs mint original IP NFTs. It offered authentic celebrity NFTs, GameFi experiences, fractional NFT ownership, and its own fast, low-gas EVM-compatible Overeality chain plus Overeality ID (zero-knowledge decentralized identity). COO Samuel Pearton said the goal was 'turning fans into investors.'
