This paper presents a novel decentralized architecture that aims to transform the metaverse by smoothly incorporating blockchain technology. The proposed framework promotes decentralization principles to address centralization issues and restrict user empowerment in existing metaverse systems. It prioritizes putting people at the centre of their digital experiences. The decentralized framework goes beyond traditional tokenization methods by adding extra layers, like non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that change who owns an asset, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) that give people in communities more power, thereby fostering creativity and inclusion in virtual environments. Built upon the fundamental concepts of decentralization and user-centric design, the framework tackles the existing limits of the metaverse and envisions a future in which people actively define their virtual destiny. In addition to addressing issues, the framework provides possibilities for cooperative advancement, decentralized exchange of information, incorporation of future technology, and market growth, acting as a catalyst for innovation within the developing metaverse ecosystem. The framework embodies not only a framework but also a vision for a decentralized and user-centric metaverse, fostering creativity, inclusion, and the realization of virtual aspirations.
