Pavia
Cardano's metaverse — tokenized land parcels and virtual experiences
What is Pavia?
Pavia is Cardano's metaverse — a virtual world where land parcels are tokenized as Cardano NFTs and users build, explore, and interact in a decentralized digital environment. Named after the Italian city where Cardano founder Gerolamo Cardano was born, it is one of the flagship metaverse projects on the network.
Key Features
Tokenized Land
Pavia's world is divided into land parcels, each a unique Cardano NFT. Owners can build on, monetize, or trade their parcels freely on the open market.
Virtual Experiences
Land owners create interactive experiences on their parcels — galleries, games, events, and social spaces — accessible to all Pavia visitors.
On-Chain Ownership
All Pavia assets — land, wearables, and items — are Cardano NFTs, giving owners true digital property rights independent of the Pavia platform.
PAVIA Token
The PAVIA token is the native currency of the metaverse, used for in-world transactions, governance votes, and ecosystem incentives.
