What is Decentraland?

Decentraland is a virtual reality platform powered by Ethereum blockchain. Decentraland allows you to create a new economy, build, and monetize virtual reality applications. Divided into 90,000 parcels of LAND, measuring 16m x 16m of each, Decentraland gives its users the ownership over their land and applications they create within their land.

You can go to casinos, attend seminars, attend music concerts, go shopping with friends, drive your dream car, and even start a business. With just a virtual reality headset or a web browser, you can enjoy a 360-degree virtual world.

History of Decentraland

Created in early 2015 by Ari Meilich and Esteban Ordano, Decentraland was originally a pixelated grid that assigned pixels to users, using a proof-of-work mechanism. In June, Decentraland took its first steps by creating an algorithm to accept Bitcoin (BTC).

In March 2017, Decentraland was officially launched and took a new step forward with 3D sketching, under the connection and support of Blockchain technology. In 2018, Decetraland made an outstanding milestone in its development journey with its first auction in January. Decentraland has been open to the public since Feb 2020.
