MHTTP provides an open-source teleportation protocol that enables instant movement between virtual worlds in the Metaverse. The protocol includes an open portal schema for defining portal appearance and behavior, teleportation mechanisms using HTTP, deeplinks, and bridging, plus an asset teleporter for moving digital identities and blockchain assets across worlds.

Problem
Virtual worlds in the Metaverse exist as isolated walled gardens, forcing users to navigate separate platforms with no seamless way to move between them. This fragmentation limits user freedom, restricts audience reach for creators, and prevents the interconnected, open experience that a truly shared virtual space requires.
Solution
MHTTP is an open standard and reference implementation for Metaverse teleportation, allowing users to travel instantly between virtual worlds. The protocol defines a JSON-based Open Portal Schema that lets creators design portals without coding, while teleportation mechanisms support HTTP, deeplinks, and bridging to carry users from an origin world to a destination world. An Asset Teleporter component extends the system to transfer digital identities and blockchain assets across virtual worlds, preserving continuity of ownership and presence. The open-source implementation, released under the MIT license, invites developers to build on the standard and connect their virtual worlds to a broader ecosystem.
Target Audience
Primary users are Metaverse world owners, creators, and developers who need to connect their virtual environments to the broader ecosystem)Skip and enable users to move freely between worlds.
