# Architecture & Technology

## Platform

At first, COSMIZE Metaverse is available on web platform, because it’s the best platform to start and onboard our users. We are building COSMIZE to connect passions and know that web platform has some graphic and performance limitations. It means COSMIZE will not stay on the web platform forever.

## MetaCloud

COSMIZE Metaverse backbone is powered by our novel architecture that enables the combination of Web2 and Web3 architectures to work together and achieve the ultimate experience of the metaverse

## Blockchain

The COSMIZE metaverse is built on top of the [Astar Network](https://astar.network/). Astar Network is a decentralized blockchain platform for Web3 innovations. It supports both EVM and WebAssembly environments, allowing for interoperability between them.

## Token Standards

Our NFTs use the ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards.

## Storage

We store COSMIZE’s metadata and files on IPFS and our off-chain database. This is done to ensure our game assets are available and can be loaded in a reasonable time for the use of the application.
