You may or may not have caved, but you certainly would have seen a Bondee avatar or two on Instagram. Here’s what you could be missing out on.

My friends and I have a habit of dismissing new trends we do not understand as “Gen-Z things”. But when our social media feed was flooded with cute avatars of our friends, we caved and downloaded Bondee.

Essentially, you join the app to chat and hang out with your friends in a metaverse setting, all while dressing up your avatar and designing your surroundings – in 3D. After all, Bondee's proposition is for you to"live" with your friends and break the boundaries between the digital and the physical world.

For diehard believers of the metaverse, this superficial detail would hardly matter. But I would wager that more users joined Bondee for the cute avatars than for the promises of decentralisation. I don't know about them, but it's my first time on anything remotely related to the metaverse. Learning about cryptocurrency twists my brain into a pretzel, but picking out an outfit? That I can do.After downloading the app, you start by designing your avatar.

You could be literally under the weather – a great status for those feeling the effects of their COVID-19 booster vaccination – or catching floating fast food items in zero gravity.Bondee's preposition is for users to"live" with their friends, which explains why it’s fashioned like a coliving space. You design your room from scratch, and guests can visit your crib at will for a virtual sleepover or jamming session.
