Decentraland is a user-owned, Ethereum-based virtual world where you can play, explore, and interact with games and activities. You can also purchase parcels of land on which to build your own environments, marketplaces, and applications.
Decentraland is the first fully decentralized, Ethereum-based virtual world that is built, governed, and owned by its users. The ever-expanding metaverse is a truly unique ecosystem with its own currency, marketplace, system of property, and decentralized autonomous organization. In this richly detailed world, new creations, such as games, puzzles, artwork, and even whole environments, are added on a daily basis by members of the community.
Users are free to explore and discover what Decentraland has to offer as digital avatars and attend live concerts, conferences, exhibitions, dance parties, and many other events that happen every day of the year. In Decentraland the possibilities are simply limitless, and there’s always something to do and new people to meet. When are you going to visit?
In Decentraland, users can buy, sell, and trade parcels of virtual land, represented as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These land parcels can be developed and customized to create unique experiences, such as virtual shops, galleries, and interactive spaces.
Decentraland operates under a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) model, allowing landowners and MANA token holders to vote on key decisions and changes to the platform. This governance model ensures that the community has a direct say in the development and future of Decentraland.
Users can create and customize their own avatars to represent themselves in the virtual world. Avatars can be personalized with various outfits, accessories, and unique traits, allowing for a diverse and expressive digital identity.
Decentraland features a virtual marketplace where users can buy, sell, and trade a wide range of digital assets, including land, wearables, and other NFTs. The marketplace is powered by the MANA cryptocurrency, facilitating seamless transactions within the ecosystem.
The platform offers a wide array of immersive experiences, from virtual events and concerts to educational seminars and social gatherings. Users can explore different districts and themed areas, each offering unique activities and interactive content.
Decentraland provides robust creator tools and a software development kit (SDK) for developers and artists to build and deploy their own interactive experiences and applications. These tools enable the creation of games, 3D scenes, and dynamic content, contributing to a rich and evolving virtual world.

The Decentraland metaverse utilizes crypto, NFTs, and blockchain technology to create a web3 gaming experience also known as crypto gaming. The Decentraland game came out in February 2020 making it one of the earliest virtual worlds to be released on Ethereum.
