The metaverse, as an emerging technological landscape, brings a series of impacts and innovations to legal governance, economic market systems, cultural consensus, etc. In its technological development, it brings countless application possibilities to human society, as well as risks of property rights, intellectual property rights, and personal rights violations. To avoid laws lagging behind technological developments, the metaverse era should establish a forward-looking concept of criminal law. It can extensively draw on governance practices from traditional metaverse projects and legislative experiences from extraterritorial networks, apply them dialectically, and be constantly alert to the threats that artificial intelligence may pose to human existence once it masters governance power. To address this, it is necessary to strengthen security legislation, clarify platform responsibilities, adapt to technological changes, design new crimes in a timely manner, promote consensus norms, enhance governance efficiency, optimize the current metaverse network environment, safeguard the metaverse ecosystem, and provide it with the maximum freedom for development, constructing a scientific, refined, and systematic governance system.
