Challenges
Enterprises encounter challenges in boosting user engagement and acquisition, especially amid promotional campaigns. The quest for revitalizing marketing activities has led businesses to express a keen interest in leveraging Metaverse experiences, including interactive mini-games. Moreover, there is a growing enthusiasm to integrate Web3 elements, such as digital tokens, to introduce innovative incentives and lay the groundwork for broader Metaverse integrations in the coming years.
The primary challenge these businesses face is the seamless integration of these digital innovations into existing platforms and processes in a manner that is not only user-friendly but also scalable across multiple channels. This challenge requires a strategic approach that ensures a harmonious fusion of Metaverse experiences and Web3 elements with the current operational landscape, providing users with a cohesive and engaging journey across various touchpoints.
Why Alibaba Cloud
Alibaba Cloud stands out as the chosen service provider, distinguished by its robust Web3 ecosystem and collaborative engagements with seasoned Metaverse developers and blockchain experts. The selection is rooted in the technical prowess and unwavering commitment demonstrated by Alibaba Cloud's adoption team, spearheaded by a dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM). This ensures the establishment of an efficient and secure infrastructure for managing blockchain verification nodes.
Renowned for fostering impactful partnerships within the Metaverse and blockchain domains, Alibaba Cloud is committed to propelling innovation and delivering cutting-edge solutions that cater to the dynamic demands of the Web3 sphere. The organization's proactive approach to aligning with industry experts and cultivating a deep understanding of the evolving landscape underscores its position as a reliable and forward-thinking service provider in Metaverse and blockchain technologies.
Architecture
Alibaba Cloud serves as the foundational support for the MUA DAO, providing a robust infrastructure encompassing scalable, highly efficient, and secure cloud services spanning computing, storage, database, networking, and intelligent operations platforms. In collaboration, Avalanche, MUA DAO, and Alibaba Cloud have jointly pioneered the Cloudverse solution—an inventive approach to Metaverse marketing, loyalty, and branding.
The Cloudverse solution emerges as an all-encompassing, one-stop resource for businesses aiming to conceive, construct, and oversee their Metaverse spaces. This groundbreaking solution is engineered to streamline the straightforward and swift establishment of Metaverse venues. It goes beyond mere construction, offering professional land planning and governance services. Moreover, the Cloudverse boasts an open ecosystem that enriches customer engagement within the Metaverse realm.
Together, Alibaba Cloud, in partnership with MUA DAO and Avalanche, has laid the groundwork for a transformative Metaverse experience, providing businesses with a comprehensive toolkit to navigate the intricacies of Metaverse marketing and branding:
● Alibaba Cloud's robust global network provides reliable and low-latency connectivity to blockchain services, ensuring a smooth user experience.
● Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) and Function Compute were used to scale the workloads automatically based on user traffic. This prevents system downtime caused by traffic spikes and eliminates resource waste during off-peak hours.
● The read-only RDS instances enable the Cloudverse backend to increase the read capability of its database system. Each read-only instance is provided with an independent address, while a unified address is generated to connect to the entire database system for automatic read/write splitting. This enhances the read capability of large-volume and high-concurrency data.
● Alibaba Cloud CDN was used to provide a fast and stable content delivery service and efficient scheduling to accelerate the static content of the Cloudverse, ensuring a smooth user experience.
● A sub-net was also deployed for this project. It uses various Alibaba Cloud services like ECS, SLB, and VPN.

Key Results
MUA DAO has collaborated with a leading bubble tea shop brand [thereafter Client A] in the Philippines. Client A is the pioneering trailblazer, the inaugural adopter of the revolutionary Cloudverse solution. In a strategic move to augment its user acquisition strategy, the company seamlessly integrated a captivating Metaverse mini-game within its D-Store during promotional events.
The proposed solution involves the deployment of a Metaverse mini-game within Client A's D-Store, meticulously crafted through the Cloudverse platform. Complementing this immersive experience is the utilization of a private blockchain infrastructure, precisely managing digital collectibles and their associated transactions.
The customer-centric advantages derived from this innovative approach are manifold. Client A anticipates amplified conversion rates for campaigns executed through the D-Store, heightened appeal for merchants using coupons as digital collectibles, an augmentation of on-chain activities, and the generation of key performance metrics grounded in real-world transactions conducted via D-Store's marketing channels. Moreover, this forward-looking initiative not only delivers immediate benefits but also paves the way for a novel channel that seamlessly integrates the Web3 space with the traditional Web2 customer base, marking Client A as a visionary leader in the intersection of the Metaverse and real-world commerce.
Looking Forward
MUA DAO anticipates an extended collaboration with Alibaba Cloud, envisioning a robust partnership that delves into broader opportunities within the dynamic Web3 domain. The objective is to harness the collective strengths of both entities, fostering an environment conducive to driving innovation and sustainable growth in this rapidly evolving field.
