Dubai, United Arab Emirates– May 15, 2025 – In a groundbreaking move to counter growing global inequality and the disruptive impacts of automation, Meta Earth has unveiled a decentralized Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) model built on modular blockchain infrastructure and powered by Decentralized Identity (DID) technology.

Announced at the Token2049 Dubai Conference, Meta Earth's initiative is envisioned as a long-term solution to economic disparity, workforce displacement, and the concentration of wealth in the age of artificial intelligence and automation. As industries face unprecedented levels of disruption, Meta Earth offers a new social and economic framework where every individual can participate in—and benefit from—the digital economy.

A Vision for Global Fairness Through Web3

“Our mission is to redefine digital equity,” said Patrick Oerer, founder of Meta Earth and former European Managing Director at BMFN. “I spent 21 years in traditional finance, and I saw firsthand the systemic barriers that block access to wealth. We're here to break those down.”

At the core of Meta Earth's vision is the ME Network, a high-performance modular blockchain designed to support scalable, low-cost Web3 applications. By separating core functions into independent modules, ME Network delivers:

Ultra-high throughput (TPS) for real-time global applications

Minimal transaction (gas) fees for affordable participation

Cross-chain compatibility to ensure broad interoperability

This architecture enables a new class of economic tools and services that empower communities globally—without centralized control or gatekeepers.

Empowering Individuals with Blockchain-Based Basic Income

The second pillar of Meta Earth's framework is its ME ID system. Users can download the ME Pass app, complete KYC, and obtain a secure, encrypted digital identity powered by cutting-edge privacy technologies like Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK).

Once verified, each user is allocated one permanently staked MEC token, which cannot be withdrawn but generates daily yield—effectively delivering a blockchain-native, on-chain UBI. This approach ensures global participation without dependence on government funding or philanthropic capital.

“Our design enables a form of ‘permanent basic income’,” explained Oerer. “It's decentralized, transparent, and powered entirely by the network and its participants.”

Sustainable Tokenomics for Long-Term Impact

With a total MEC supply of 20 billion, half is permanently staked, while the remainder is released via a sustainable, halving-based staking mechanism. This ensures long-term economic stability and encourages community involvement.

Ecosystem participants can earn additional rewards by engaging in governance, application use, or network promotion—creating a self-reinforcing economic loop where value generation and distribution are embedded in the system.

A New Standard for Economic Inclusion

Meta Earth's platform goes beyond token distributions. It lays the foundation for a functioning decentralized economy, supported by real-world use cases in commerce, entertainment, social media, and financial services.

By combining modular design, verified digital identity, and token-based incentives, Meta Earth aims to create a digital society where access, opportunity, and prosperity are no longer limited by geography, background, or economic status.

Technology as a Tool for Good

As the world grapples with the accelerating pace of technological change, Meta Earth asks a crucial question: Will technology widen the gap—or bring us together?

“With Meta Earth, we choose inclusion,” said Oerer. “Our decentralized UBI model isn't just an idea—it's a living infrastructure designed to support global economic dignity and opportunity.”
