## What is Passage?
Passage is a platform for producing immersive 3D worlds and experiences. 

Built with the Cosmos SDK and leveraging cutting-edge technology like Unreal Engine 5, Passage is an L-1 Proof-of-Stake network. The Passage platform is blockchain-agnostic and supports in-browser streaming, cross-world commerce for fungible tokens and NFTs, decentralized social functionality, and 3D communication infrastructure. 

With drag-and-drop world building tools and AI, Passage empowers brands and creators to produce and optimize high-quality experiences for their communities, from livestreams and webinars to product launches, meetings, fundraisers, and community-focused gaming.

The Passage Ecosystem is comprised of:

* World Builder: Passage offers a set of powerful, flexible tools for creating immersive 3D worlds, including a drag-and-drop editor, templates, 3D asset library, plugins for custom functionality, and an SDK.
* Social Tools: A social layer that connects all worlds and experiences together, with a dashboard and social feed for discovering experiences, connecting with friends, and sharing updates. Social tools allow Passage worlds to be streamed to multiple platforms simultaneously, and users to access worlds in 1 click. 
* Passage Chain: Passage is an L-1 chain built on the Cosmos SDK. 3D assets, NFTs, achievements, identity, social connections, and more live on-chain. This network is referred to as the Relationship Protocol.

Passage aims to create a uniquely open and transparent social platform, with key open-source elements of the ecosystem including:

* Worldbuilding SDK
* Smart contracts
* Relationship Protocol
* Plugin system

## The PASG Token
PASG is the native token of the Passage ecosystem, designed for:

* Governance: PASG holders can participate in governance and vote on proposals related to the platform's direction and development
* Security & Staking: PASG holders can stake and delegate their tokens to validators to support security of the network. A percentage of tokens spent in the marketplace, as well as inflation, are allocated as rewards.
* Incentivizing Open-Source Contributions: Developers can earn PASG by contributing to open-source development of the platform such as bug fixes, new features, and improvements to existing functionality.
* Decentralized Assets: PASG powers decentralized assets (NFTs) on the Passage platform.

TGE and mainnet launch took place in August 2022, and the token will publicly launch on August 29, 2023 on StreamSwap.

## Passage Team
Passage is founded by Lex Avellino, who spent over a decade in virtual production and digital experiences. What began in 2017 as a creative agency for producing digital experiences for leading brands like Warner Brothers Studios, Amazon, Capitol Records, and Red Bull, evolved and expanded into Passage as Avellino saw a growing need for better digital experiences. He began work on Passage in 2020, envisioning a platform that empowered brands and creators to easily build their own immersive worlds and virtual experiences.

The Passage project is led by a team of veterans in blockchain, ecommerce, and virtual production. In mid-2022, Passage hired 2 former executives of Enjin (ENJ)—Caleb Applegate as CEO, and Bryana Kortendick as Chief of Staff—who previously helped lead a $38.9M raise for Efinity (EFI) and helped rally $200M in retail support to secure one of the first Polkadot parachain slots.

Osmosis (OSMO) is a decentralized exchange (DEX) for Cosmos, an ecosystem of sovereign, interoperable blockchains all connected trustlessly over IBC, the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol. Osmosis also offers non-IBC assets bridged from the Ethereum and Polkadot ecosystems. Originally based on Balancer-style pools, Osmosis is moving to a more sustainable concentrated liquidity model that provides a superior trading and liquidity provision experience.

As an appchain DEX, Osmosis has greater control over the full blockchain stack than DEXs that must follow the code of a parent chain. This fine-grained control has enabled, for example, the development of Superfluid Staking, an improvement to Proof-of-Stake security. Superfluid staking allows the underlying OSMO in an LP position to add to chain security and earn staking rewards for doing so. The customizability of appchains also allows for the development of a transaction mempool shielded with threshold encryption, which will greatly reduce harmful MEV on Osmosis.

Osmosis's vision is to build a cross-chain native DEX and trading suite that connects all chains over IBC, including Ethereum and Bitcoin. To build out the trading functionalities, Osmosis has invited external developers to create a bespoke DEX ecosystem that includes lending, credit, margin, fiat on-ramps, Defi strategy vaults, NFTs, stablecoins, and more – all the functionalities of a centralized exchange and more, plus the trust-minimization of decentralized finance.

Axelar claims to deliver “secure cross-chain communication for Web3.” The project provides a decentralized network and tools to help builders of decentralized applications (dApps) with seamless cross-chain communication through its protocol suite, tools and APIs.

Axelar features three core components – a decentralized network, a software development kit of protocols and APIs, and a set of gateway smart contracts for cross-chain connectivity.

Powered by a decentralized network of validators, anyone can join the network, build on it, or use it. Apps builders can interact with a simple API atop a permissionless network that routes messages and ensures network security via proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

AXL is the native token of the Axelar network. The protocol also supports the cross-chain transfer of several native tokens via their wrapped ERC-20 versions, including AVAX (Avalanche), ETH (Ethereum), FTM (Fantom), GLMR (Moonbeam), and MATIC (Polygon).

Meanwhile, Axelar has raised capital from top-tier investors, including Binance, Coinbase Ventures, Dragonfly Capital, Polychain Capital and others.

Secret (SCRT) is a privacy-oriented blockchain built on Cosmos. Its smart contracts are called Secret Contracts and allow DApps to use private data on Secret, similar to how smart contracts operate on other blockchains. However, Secret Contracts transfer encrypted inputs into encrypted outputs without exposing data. This is made possible thanks to the encrypted contract states during the execution.

Data privacy is guaranteed by combining encryption protocols and key management within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). This allows Secret Contracts to compete for several privacy-related use cases that traditional blockchains have found difficult to accommodate. For instance, private voting mechanisms or credit scoring applications become possible since they do not expose sensitive user data on-chain with Secret.

DeSo is a new layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up to decentralize social media for billions of users.

We believe in empowering an internet that’s creator-led, user-owned, and open to millions of developers around the world to build off one another.

Today, there’s only a handful of big-tech companies that own and control all the information we consume online.

DeSo puts the ownership back in the hands of users, not platforms. Your identity, your profile, your content, and your social graph can now be owned by you in a completely censorship-resistant way.

Creators can now freely monetize in a way they could never do before.

With new crypto-native monetization tools, like Social Tokens, Social DAOs, Social NFTs, Social Tipping, and more — creators have access to monetize their passion and make a living by doing what they love.

Developers can build in a gasless, permissionless, and transparent environment where everything is open and on-chain for ultimate accessibility and composability.

DeSo is built to support storage-heavy or infinite-state applications, opening up a new world of non-financial-based web3 apps that weren’t possible before.

We can now imagine, build and experience the next generation of web3 social.

In the same way, we’ve seen Bitcoin and Ethereum decentralize finance, DeSo is now enabling this for social.

We know our mission is colossal, but we believe the world will be better when users, creators, and developers are put first - not corporations.

It’s time to break free.
