The virtual platform was further taken over by our first speaker of the evening Mr. Nikhil Aparajit. He started off the session with a casual introduction to metaverse, its hype around the technology and what simply blockchain technology is.

   Moving over with the foundation of Web3, he introduce the Blockchain technology, how the data is actually stored in blocks and what actually led to name it as a chain. The concept of data and block mining was also slightly mentioned without making it too difficult to understand.

   The next topic on the pile was that of Web3. To get a better sense of the whole Web3 technology the speaker started off with its versions, evolutions and why the shift of power from large centralized companies to the hands of individuals was necessary which eventually led to the birth of Web3 concept. Discussing the disadvantages of the current internet process helped the audience to understand the actual need for development of Web3 and how it counters the flaws of the existing internet scenario. Eventually all the features of Web3 were also brought into light. The powerful feature of uninterpreted data was heavily discussed by the speaker and the curious audience over the live chat. How the entered data ends up on every node on the network was simply but beautifully explained by Nikhil and the audience made sure that no gap was left in the delivery of the topic. Apart from just the technology, its key components like wallets, their types, NFTs, their uniqueness, Dapps, its working, DAOs, their significance and applications were wonderfully delivered to the audience. It was made clear that these components, their working and importance was perfectly understood by the audience with constant check on the live chat window.

   Finally, came the time to swim into the new and booming topic of Metaverse. Metaverse being the next version of social internet has already made its name into the tech world, but what work has LUMOS been doing in Metaverse was cleared by the speaker in this section of the event. There were a few rumors among the audience regarding the same which were also cleared upon proper interaction. Building a Lumos Metaverse, a metverse for builders and developers in technology, developing a community and raising funds for the same have been the core motives of the LUMOS Labs. In this section, the speaker guided the audience on how to join the discord server of the Lumos Metaverse, made them aware that they could be the early adopters, earn early benefits of study and investment grants by joining and daily interacting with the community people.
