Meta Earth, a modular blockchain platform integrated with a decentralized identity system, has solidified its position as a leading force in Web3 innovation with the launch of ME Network 2.0. Unveiled at Token2049 Singapore in October 2025, the upgrade introduces a three-layer architecture-execution (RollApp), settlement (ME-Hub), and data availability (ME-DA)-to deliver unprecedented scalability and interoperability. By decoupling these layers, Meta Earth slashes storage costs by 98% through data availability sampling and 2D erasure coding while reducing gas fees by 90% via zero-knowledge proof compression [2]. The platform's native token, MEC, unifies all layers, creating a closed value loop that streamlines transactions and incentivizes participation [3].

The economic model of ME Network 2.0 emphasizes accessibility and sustainability. Users can earn MEC through a revamped ME Pass 3.0 app, which offers six reward mechanisms, including daily check-ins, staking yields up to 25% APY, and referral incentives [4]. A standout feature is the Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) program, where KYC-verified users receive 1 permanently staked MEC, generating daily passive income at 12.5% APY. This approach aligns with Meta Earth's mission to democratize Web3 by prioritizing verifiable participation over speculative activity [5].
Meta Earth's commitment to real-world adoption was evident at Token2049 Singapore, where it demonstrated ME Network 2.0's capabilities through live demos and identity issuance. Attendees could register for ME ID, a decentralized identity protocol using homomorphic encryption to ensure privacy and compliance, and print physical identity cards linked to their on-chain profiles [6]. The event also launched the "Show the E" global airdrop, rewarding users for submitting photos or videos with the "E" gesture-a campaign emphasizing Equality, Ecology, and Earth. With over 2 million verified users and nodes spanning 40+ countries, Meta Earth underscored its global reach and local engagement [7].
The platform's rapid growth-surpassing 1 million ecosystem users in April 2025-highlights its appeal to both developers and everyday users [8]. ME Network 2.0's modular design allows developers to deploy application-specific rollups with customizable virtual machines (EVM/WASM) and seamless cross-chain communication via the Multi-Blockchain Communication (MBC) protocol [9]. This flexibility, coupled with a decentralized sequencer network and slashing mechanisms for malicious nodes, positions Meta Earth as a secure, enterprise-ready infrastructure [10].
Looking ahead, Meta Earth plans to expand its offline presence with events like Istanbul Blockchain Week (June 2025), WebX Asia in Tokyo (August 2025), and future Token2049 editions. These gatherings will showcase the network's technical advancements and foster community-driven growth. CTO Daniel Maddern emphasized the importance of translating modular blockchain and verifiable identity from theoretical concepts into tangible, global infrastructure, stating, "The responsibility now is to carry this momentum into long-term, inclusive systems worldwide" [11].
