The blockchain project launched by Neal Stephenson, who coined the term “metaverse” in his 1992 book, Snow Crash, is pushing forward with its vision despite waning interest in it and some declaring that it’s “dead.”

Compared with its peak in 2021 and 2022, search interest for the metaverse has declined in 2023, according to data from Google (NASDAQ:) Trends. The declining interest in the metaverse has also led some to declare that the metaverse hype is dead.
