Walled Garden
A walled garden is a domain within the metaverse that allows people to create content according to a specific set of rules, permissions and tools.
Walled gardens often have significant advantages: their tools are often easy to use—and they can offer access to substantial audiences. In exchange, they typically take a large portion of the revenue generated by creators.
Most of the powerful platforms that were created during the Web 2.0 era are walled gardens. In the Metaverse era, many of these platforms will continue to grow in power. Their rivals are the open platforms.
