Decentraland is a virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Users can create, experience, and monetize content and applications. Land in Decentraland is permanently owned by the community, giving them full control over their creations. Users claim ownership of virtual land on a blockchain-based ledger of parcels. Landowners control what content is published to their portion of land, which is identified by a set of cartesian coordinates (x,y). Contents can range from static 3D scenes to interactive systems such as games. This article explores the core features of Decentraland and how one can purchase Decentraland by first purchasing ETH as a base token on the MEXC Exchange.
What is Decentraland？
Decentraland is software running on Ethereum that seeks to incentivize a global network of users to operate a shared virtual world.
Decentraland users can buy and sell digital real estate while exploring, interacting, and playing games within this virtual world. Over time, the platform has evolved to implement interactive apps, in-world payments, and peer-to-peer communication for users.
The finite, traversable, 3D virtual space within Decentraland is called LAND, a non-fungible digital asset maintained in an Ethereum smart contract. LAND is divided into parcels that are identified by cartesian coordinates (x,y). These parcels are permanently owned by members of the community and are purchased using MANA, Decentraland’s cryptocurrency token. This gives users full control over the environments and applications that they create, which can range from anything like static 3D scenes to more interactive applications or games.
The Decentraland application is built to track real estate parcels defined by LAND tokens.
The software leverages the Ethereum blockchain to track ownership of this digital land, and it requires users to hold their MANA token within an Ethereum wallet to engage with its ecosystem.
Further, developers are free to innovate within Decentraland’s platform by designing the animation and interactions experienced on their virtual real estate.
