XRWEB

the index of the immersive web— building its missing pillars in the open.

The open XR web already has worlds worth visiting — that is the index below. What it is missing is the connective tissue: money you can carry in your pocket, things you own that travel with you, a self that is recognised wherever you go.

We index what the immersive web can do, and we are building those missing pieces in the open. All three are early, and this page says exactly how early.

Three missing pillars

Built in the open
  1. LIVE · PRIVATE PILOT

    Satrium

    Pocket bitcoin for the immersive web.

    Pay inside VR and AR without leaving the session. Its proof so far: the first Bitcoin payment approved inside a WebXR session, made on a Meta Quest 3 with real sats. The pocket and the SDK are in a private pilot that opens in rounds; to join one, write to hello@satrium.org. Sats only, never a Satrium coin. No account, and Satrium holds none of your money.

  2. DRAFT STANDARD 0

    Kepta

    Owned items for the open XR web.

    Functional 3D items you hold and bring with you. Each one is an ordinary GLB file that a world can load; what makes you its holder stays in your pocket, and each world that opts in decides what the item does there. An early experiment, now starting a private pilot with a handful of world builders. Its rules are a draft standard, open to comment.

  3. PROPOSED CONVENTION

    HopSelf

    A name on your own key.

    One small card with your name and your links, signed by a key only you hold, and carried into any world that supports it. No account to create, no company that owns your name. In each world you decide whether to show it, and people who already know you can tell it is you. An idea today: nothing is built yet, and the only tests so far ran on a desktop.

Satrium, Kepta and HopSelf are built by the makers of XRweb.

pocket money · functional assets · portable identity — a proposed interoperability layer for the open extended reality web.
