TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 30, 2024 / Orthogonal Global Group Inc. ("Orthogonal" or the " Company ") (CSE:OGG)(OTC PINK:OGGIF)(FSE:KZ2), a global accelerator and public investment platform focused on furthering initiatives in the wellness, healthcare, AI, digital ownership, deep tech and fintech spaces is elated to unveil the creation of 4worlds, a metaverse universe, and a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (" DAO ") on the Bitcoin blockchain.

The project represents an advancement in digital experiences, merging virtual reality (" VR "), augmented reality (" AR "), and decentralized decision-making. 4worlds will feature a series of 3D-generated environments, known as "Mindscapes," linked through digital portals. Mindscapes are immersive AR and VR experiences designed to augment therapy and spiritual practices.

Users will be able to design various Mindscapes and propose their inclusion in the 4worlds collective. The 4worlds DAO, operating on a democratic voting system, will oversee these additions, cultivating a diverse and rich digital universe driven by its community.

Utilizing Bitcoin Taproot assets, 4worlds will be at the forefront of DAO development on the Bitcoin blockchain. The project's communication and coordination layers are being developed on the Nostr social networking protocol, ensuring a decentralized and robust platform.

Once integrated into the 4worlds universe, developers will be able to monetize their Mindscapes. They also have the opportunity to expand the network by linking their creations with others through 4worlds portals, opening avenues for affiliate partnerships.

Orthogonal has formed strategic partnerships with Milo Media Technologies (" Milo Media ") for this venture. Milo Media, Co-Founded by Orthogonal board member Shidan Gouran, specializes in developing a Nostr client and protocol for Bitcoin blockchain DAOs.

"4worlds is an evolution of our previous projects, expanding our 2019 venture into the Sandbox Metaverse," said David Nikzad, CEO and Co-Founder of Orthogonal. "We're now making a significant move into a more decentralized metaverse tailored for experiences."

Shidan Gouran, Co-Founder of Milo Media and Orthogonal board member, emphasized the project's innovative nature: "4worlds is a trailblazer, being among the first DAOs on the Bitcoin blockchain, built on the decentralized Nostr communications layer. Its success could pave the way for future dAPP development on Bitcoin, offering a more open alternative for AR/VR, gaming, and metaverse developers compared to other major platforms that already exist."

4worlds is an open, decentralized platform that aims to provide creative and therapeutic exploration opportunities in the digital landscape. This initiative highlights Orthogonal's commitment to innovation and its vision for a more interconnected, experiential digital future that is compliant with industry standards. Orthogonal is incubating 4worlds as a wholly-owned subsidiary and plans to launch the 4worlds metaverse in early July 2024.

Walid Benothman, Kevin Soltani, and Philip Lord, members of Orthogonal's advisory board, will utilize their collective experience to oversee the project.

Walid was formerly Head of BD and Institutional Sales at The 1inch Network, the world's largest aggregator of DeFi exchanges and was instrumental in its success. Joining Curv in 2020, he led Growth and Strategy for EMEA, positioning Dubai as a hub. His strategic direction led to Curv's acquisition by PayPal, a milestone in crypto acceptance. From 2016 to 2020, Walid served as Head of EMEA Sales for the Blockchain pioneer, Ripple Labs, driving pivotal initiatives in institutional sales, partnerships, and go-to-market strategies, which significantly contributed to XRP's ecosystem and utility.

Kevin offers over a decade of experience in the alternative investments industry. As the founder and CEO of GIMA Group, Inc., Kevin specializes in blockchain, proptech, gaming/esports, and the metaverse, with four prior exits and one IPO in the company's history. Throughout his career, Kevin actively raised funds, fostered strategic partnerships, capitalized on startup potential, and broadened market horizons.

Philip brings with him a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the web3.0 space. His extensive background as President at Oobit and an investment banker, serial blockchain investor, and former non-executive director at Luna PR equipped him adeptly for steering strategic partnerships, spearheading business development, and executing powerful marketing strategies.
