VISION
This isn’t just a revival—it’s a rebirth. AltspaceVR is emerging with a bold new vision, redefining what’s possible in social VR.
The original AltspaceVR captured something truly special—a vibrant, positive community where creativity thrived and users felt connected in meaningful ways. It was a space defined by non-toxic engagement, a culture of inclusivity, and a shared sense of innovation that’s yet to be replicated. Though the technology behind the original platform may no longer exist, that essence of AltspaceVR—the energy, the spirit, and the community—is about to make its comeback.
We’re building something new, something that taps into the power of decentralization and open-source to give users true ownership, autonomy, and resilience. The future of AltspaceVR will be rooted in the principles of community-driven innovation, where your voice shapes the platform, and your experience is truly yours.

Building Community Wealth & A Decentralized Organization
On March 10th, 2023, the original AltspaceVR was sunsetted after its acquisition by Microsoft. But this isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning. This time, our goal is to build something different: a platform rooted in community-driven ownership and a decentralized organization.
As we bring AltspaceVR back to life, we are paving the way for a new model where the community—its members, creators, and builders—will play a central role in the platform’s growth and sustainability.
Through decentralized ownership, our vision is to give you a voice in the future direction of AltspaceVR, with opportunities to share in the profits and benefit from the platform’s success.
The future of AltspaceVR will be one of shared governance, where your contributions shape the platform and help it thrive. We’re not just rebuilding—we’re creating a new, community-empowered ecosystem that ensures the long-term viability and ownership of AltspaceVR remains in the hands of those who make it great.
A Safe and Social Space for All
One of the most cherished values of the original AltspaceVR was its unwavering commitment to fostering a positive, welcoming environment. The platform was known for its zero-tolerance policy towards toxic behavior, where those who violated the community standards were swiftly "bricked"—removed without the possibility of return. This commitment created a space where users could interact freely and safely.
As we reimagine AltspaceVR, we are reaffirming our dedication to maintaining a non-toxic, inclusive environment. In a world where some prioritize metrics over morals, AltspaceVR stands as a refreshing alternative, where ethics and community well-being are central. Here, everyone is welcome to connect, explore, and build together in a space where respect and kindness prevail.
What’s Next?
The journey ahead will be challenging, but we’re ready for it — and we hope you’ll join us!
As we bring together developers, the community, and world-builders, we recognize that our success will depend on the collective efforts of those who believe in this vision. Whether it's through supporting our Kickstarter, offering valuable insights, or becoming an early adopter and builder, your involvement will be crucial to the rebirth of AltspaceVR.
Together, we can create something extraordinary and bring this vision to life once again.
