Meta Earth, a modular blockchain network integrated with a Decentralized Identity (DID) protocol, has surpassed 1 million participants in just a few months. With over 670,000 KYC-verified users through its ME ID system, Meta Earth is emerging as a leader in the next generation of Web3 infrastructure. But what exactly is a modular blockchain, and why is it so important?
Unlike traditional blockchains, which handle all functions (execution, consensus, and data availability) within a single layer, modular blockchains separate these components into distinct layers. This design allows for greater scalability, flexibility, and efficiency. Meta Earth’s modular framework includes execution, settlement, consensus, and data availability layers, enabling developers to build application-specific Rollups while maintaining interoperability across the Web3 ecosystem.

This approach solves many of the inefficiencies seen in traditional Layer 2 solutions, such as centralized sequencers and operational bottlenecks. Meta Earth’s decentralized sequencer model, for example, uses staked MEC tokens for governance and transaction ordering, ensuring a more secure and efficient network. Additionally, the integration of zero-knowledge cryptographic proofs reduces dispute resolution times, making the system faster and more cost-effective.
Equality and sustainability
Meta Earth is not just about technology; it’s about creating a more equitable digital economy. Every verified user receives one permanently staked MEC token and daily staking rewards, promoting financial inclusion through its Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) model. This unique approach ensures that users worldwide can benefit from daily on-chain earnings and ecosystem privileges.
The project’s ME ID Protocol further enhances this vision by providing a privacy-preserving, self-sovereign digital identity framework. Verified users maintain full control over their personal data, granting access only to trusted counterparties. This not only prevents bot activity but also ensures long-term sustainability by fostering authentic user adoption.
Organic growth
Meta Earth’s growth has been steady and user-driven, avoiding the pitfalls of inflated wallet counts and speculative hype. With active participants in over 30 countries, the network has attracted a high-quality user base through its Global Ambassador Program and product-level incentives. As of April 2025, the network boasts over 1 million ecosystem users and thousands of daily on-chain reward claims.
Meta Earth is preparing for a pivotal year with the release of ME Network v2.0, the initiation of Rollup-chain testing, and the expansion of DeFi infrastructure. These advancements are expected to drive rapid ecosystem growth and solidify Meta Earth’s position as a leader in modular blockchain technology.
By combining technical scalability with real-world economic utility, Meta Earth is not just building a blockchain network—it’s laying the foundation for a sustainable and inclusive digital future. With its modular design, privacy-preserving identity framework, and commitment to equality, Meta Earth is setting a new standard for what blockchain technology can achieve.
