Metaverse, which supports social and economic activities in the virtual world, is being cited as the core of future Web 3.0 businesses. However, most of the major metaverse platforms currently adhere to the Web 2.0 system and are operated in a centralized manner. Accordingly, this study investigated the form of metaverse operation by examining the case of Decentraland, a metaverse platform operated as DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization in the form of Web 3.0. From the case analysis, we found that Decentraland had positive characteristics such as a horizontal operating structure, fair profit distribution, and transparency, but there were challenges including the possibility of returning to centralization in the operating process, the possibility of abuse of an autonomous system, and inefficiency in decision-making. Therefore, in this study, the timing of transition to DAO governance was discussed, and DAO's efforts for business continuity and the need for adjustment for autonomous operation were suggested as implications. The implications presented in this study are expected to contribute to materializing not only practical but also theoretical aspects of platform operation aimed at web 3.0 as well as the metaverse.

Most of the metaverse service is a gamification type of metaverse solution composed by placing 3D objects on a 360 panoramic world base. However, the metaverse webtoon service is lacking in implementation and research. In this study, a method for realizing a 2D flat image form in a 3D space and a realistic 360-degree panoramic webtoon metaverse service were studied. The research process consisted of basic storytelling and design work for webtoon production, panoramic image creation to convert the produced image into 360-degree form, and content creation process for viewing 360-degree directions. Finally, we implemented shading and material work with game engine tools so that you can enjoy virtual reality-based webtoons. The webtoon-based metaverse study studied the process of creating a 360-degree panoramic webtoon from content that can only be viewed in 2D format. Accordingly, it is thought that webtoons will also be presented as a standard for the production and implementation method for the metaverse service.
