Virtual Marketplace HUBS

Framework for a Virtual Economy

The EAPES ISLAND Virtual Marketplace HUBS unlock endless retail opportunities, bridging the gap between digital worlds and real-world commerce. Within these immersive spaces, users can seamlessly purchase physical goods, have them delivered to their doorstep, and experience next-level digital shopping with features such as:

✔ Virtual try-on experiences for clothing and accessories with real-time peer and family feedback ✔ Live interactions with customer support representatives for personalized shopping assistance ✔ Streamlined checkout processes integrating EAPES Tokens and EGLD for smooth transactions

This next-generation marketplace redefines conventional e-commerce by enabling users to buy, sell, and trade both digital and physical goods within an interactive environment. Unlike traditional online shopping, EAPES ISLAND’s retail experience is immersive and dynamic, transforming passive browsing into engaging and social retail interactions.

The market for Retail and eCommerce applications within digital worlds currently stands at $23.5 billion, yet fewer than 2% of all retail businesses have established a metaverse storefront. Adoption is expected to surge beyond 33% within two years, with forecasts projecting a market valuation of approximately $210.3 billion by 2030, representing an extraordinary growth of 794.89%.

EAPES ISLAND is positioned at the forefront of this transformation, pioneering an ecosystem where virtual and real-world commerce converge, reshaping the way users shop, interact, and engage with brands.
