Project Introduction
Decentraland is a decentralized virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Within this platform, users can create, experience and monetize their content and applications. 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, identified by their cartesian coordinates (x,y), which are permanently owned by members of the community and purchased using MANA, Decentraland's cryptocurrency token. This gives users full control over the environments and applications they create, ranging from static 3D scenes to more interactive applications or games. Additionally, some parcels are organized into themed communities, or Districts, to create shared spaces with common interests and uses.
