Decentraland is a 3D virtual world platform. Users may buy virtual plots of land in the platform as NFTs via the MANA cryptocurrency, which uses the Ethereum blockchain. Designers can create and sell clothes and accessories for the avatars to be used in the virtual world.
It was opened to the public in February 2020 as a browser-based platform and is overseen by the nonprofit Decentraland Foundation. In 2017, the platform raised $26million in its initial coin offering (ICO); by 2022 indy100 reported that it had a $1.2billion market evaluation. While DappRadar found that as few as 38 users performed currency transactions in a single day, Decentraland claimed that 8,000 people per day used the platform in 2022.
