Ms-meta.HK

Content Generation / Media · Security and Compliance

Ms-meta.HK, a Hong Kong-based decentralized Metaverse startup building a digital twin of Hong Kong, needed powerful GPU rendering for hyperrealistic scenes, high bandwidth for livestreaming, secure exposed servers, and smooth user experience under heavy concurrent access.

Metaverse public beta scheduled for September 2022
NFT marketplace launched August 2022

Solution

Ms-meta.HK deployed a Web3-native Metaverse platform creating a digital twin of Hong Kong's King's Road in immersive 3D, requiring intensive GPU-accelerated rendering and global content delivery. The platform ingests user interaction data, NFT metadata, and livestream content through a security-hardened infrastructure, performing real-time 3D scene rendering via Elastic GPU Service and distributing high-definition visual content through Alibaba Cloud CDN to minimize loading times. Anti-DDoS and Web Application Firewall protect user accounts and transaction integrity while Security Center provides unified threat monitoring. The architecture enables concurrent access for thousands of users with fluent scene experience.
