Mobile application Bondee is the latest metaverse sensation in Asia, as it has gained millions across the continent. Bondee also tops the app download list in several countries in Southeast Asia.
What is Bondee?
You can think of Bondee as Sims and Telegram wedged as one. Users can create customized avatars and virtual rooms and visit friends’ private rooms. The social app combines metaverse and social features, and it can revolutionize the way we socialize with one another.
Bondee owes its success to its user-friendly interface, versatility for diverse populations, and immense appeal to a younger audience. Its rich language variety and easy navigation have made the app popular in Southeast Asia. The social network’s innovative approach to the widening international communication gap stands out in the competitive industry.
Bondee is capitalizing on a growing trend. The metaverse platform, Roblox, recorded a 19% year-on-year increase in daily active users(DAUs) to almost sixty million. After achieving milestones like its collaboration with music legend Elton John, Roblox’s revenue also grew sixfold to approximately 2 billion in three years. The metaverse platform’ shares climbed by 25% after its positive Q4 financial results.
Asia setting the metaverse pace
Southeast Asia is raising the bar for metaverse technology and has stunned industry analysts with groundbreaking projects like Zepeto and Bondee. For instance, the South Korean project Zepeto boasts 20 million active monthly users, 100 times more than Meta’s Horizon Worlds. Famous fashion brand Zara partnered with Zepeto to release metaverse-ready collections for Valentine’s Day. On the other hand, Meta’s stock price took a nosedive since launching Horizon Worlds as the platform struggled with underwhelming user experience and visuals.
As more people sign up on the dynamic Bondee social app, its trajectory in 2023 will be observed closely – it’s set to significantly impact how we interact.
