What is Metahero? Everything to know
You’ve heard of the Metaverse, now get ready for Metahero! Mark Zuckerberg and others want to bring the metaverse into reality, but this ambitious project wants to bring you to it! This will let you create realistic 3D NFTs easily with the use of its facilities. You just need yourself, your talents, your NFT project, and a whole lot of HERO tokens.
If you look around, you’ll notice that technology is merging into more parts of our lives every day. For example, games like Pokémon GO impose digital pets onto your surroundings, but you need a phone. It’s only a matter of time until we turn the make-believe worlds of the Matrix or Ready Player One into reality. Metahero might be another step towards this.
First, we will have to explain a bit about the Metaverse because it’s a huge factor in the Metahero project. Then, we’ll talk about what Metahero does, and what its effects might be in the future. This will let us see where its HERO tokens are headed, so you can decide if you should invest or not.
What’s the Metaverse?
You may have heard that Mark Zuckerberg changed the name of his company from Facebook to Meta. You might have even seen his video regarding his vision for the Metaverse.
It may have been hard to believe. After all, such ideas only show up in movies like the ones we mentioned earlier. Yet, companies like Meta are set on making it real.
Let’s clear up what the Metaverse is about: merging virtual reality into the real world. This is like if you can truly walk into the world of your favorite video games or movies.
It’s hard to grasp the idea, that’s why people like Matthew Bell wrote articles that explain what the Metaverse might be like if became true:
- Always online – The Metaverse doesn’t “switch off” or “shut down” because it keeps running 24/7.
- Shared experience – Let’s take the recent Ariana Grande concert on the online game Fortnite as an example. Players may join the concert with their characters and see the artist perform in the video game. The Metaverse will let people share events like this, but their bodies will be there instead of their game character.
- Do things – Each person inside this world will be able to perform activities separate from each other. Using the Fortnite example again, your character may walk around while others dance during the event.
- Virtual economy – You’ll be able to buy and sell things to each other.
- User-generated content – People will be able to add their content into the Metaverse. The Metahero project wants to help with this.

What does Metahero do?
Robert Gryn founded this project in the first quarter of 2021. He poured the first $10 million of the Metahero, so it could one day take crypto adoption to the next level.
Gryn will do this by letting people scan everything, including themselves, to create realistic NFTs for the Metaverse. He calls this method “metascanning.”
NFTs or non-fungible tokens are digital assets with ownership recorded on the blockchain. That lets people have a unique unit even though there are many copies around.
People may do this at a 3D Metascanner. They would just need the Metahero app and some HERO tokens to get started. Then, it can churn out an NFT within minutes.
Metahero worked with Wolf Studio to make this method possible. It’s a leader in 3D scanning and modeling that worked with various companies like CD Projekt and Disney.
Metahero plans to place 12 of them across the world. Meanwhile, the project is still trying to partner with game studios and influencers for help.
If it becomes real, people may get various benefits. For example, Metahero may one day allow players to truly put themselves in their favorite games.
Also, it will let people license various things, so they can easily earn money from them. You can already do this nowadays, but it may not be limited to art and music soon.
What are some issues with Metahero?
If you read my other articles here on Inquirer USA, you’ll notice that I have a positive view towards things like cryptos and the Metahero project.
Still, I have to point out the flaws or risks that may come from such ideas. This specific project has a lot of those we can cover. Let’s start with the biggest one: it started in 2021.
We can see a lot of good things that could happen because it’s still starting to take form. We don’t even have the 12 scanners that it will use.
Let’s say we do have these 12 machines ready. Perhaps COVID-19 is behind us by then. Still, people will have to head to where they are located.
Even if you do have the HERO tokens and the app, you will have to pay a lot for a flight to that area. Perhaps you’ll have to book a hotel too unless you already live near the scanners.
In other words, you will have to spend a lot just to use the services. You will most likely spend more time and money on your trip.
🚀 Tomorrow #FBSummit kicks off, and we're inviting you to join the live broadcast of Rob's keynote & official Metascanner unveiling.

What’s more, people are already making NFTs by themselves. We could say that the ones from Metahero may look better compared to the 2D NFTs we often see.
People can already make 3D models without this tech. For example, architects design homes using AutoCAD nowadays. Even the free apps can do so much.
Sure, the tech could help you make an NFT in minutes, but a talented artist could probably make something that good with their talent and the right tools.
If you just want to make money from NFTs, you don’t even need to make good-looking ones. Many NFTs look blocky yet people buy them for millions of dollars.
Also, it’s not that easy to buy the HERO tokens. At the time of writing, they’re only available on PancakeSwap, a platform that may not be easy to use for beginners.

At the time of writing, HERO tokens cost $0.12. Note that the price may change a lot within 24 hours. The price may even go up or down as you’re reading this.
Whether you should invest or not is up to you. Perhaps you could make a lot of money once Metahero improves in the long run.
We’ve seen so many unlikely tokens top the crypto charts. Take Dogecoin (DOGE) as an example. Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer made it as a joke.
Yet, the early investors are probably laughing at how much money they made from it. Note that this is a coin with a dog’s face on it, but it’s at the number 10 crypto right now.
Meanwhile, you can find a lot of coins with serious goals that haven’t trended as much. They even have better features than so many other coins, yet they remain at the bottom.
