Utherverse CEO Brian Shuster Unveils 'Next-Gen' Virtual World

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Industry veteran Brian Shuster has unveiled Utherverse.io, a "next-generation" virtual world, now offering pre-sale memberships.

A rep described Utherverse.io as the culmination of 30 years of CEO Brian Shuster's work in internet technology and commerce.

“From the earliest days of recognizing the commercial potential of the web and founding the first internet advertising company, to developing essential tech underpinning virtually all of today's social media and online interactions, Shuster's vision has always been ahead of its time,” the rep said. “With 19 years of operational excellence, Utherverse’s new venture is set to leverage Shuster’s depth of experience, extensive background and patented innovations in steering the launch of a new kind of immersive 3D virtual world internet that could only be realized through decades of pioneering work in the sector.”

The packages include virtual "real estate," up to 180,000 Uther ($UTHX) tokens, early beta testing opportunities and more.

Shuster said, "In launching this presale, we're not just introducing a new product — we're inviting users into a world shaped by a legacy of innovation. From introducing the very first banner ads to combating predatory online dangers with Cleanet, my aim has always been to enhance the online experience, and Utherverse’s new metaverse platform is a culmination of that work in a truly unparalleled virtual environment."
