Decentraland is a virtual world for buying, selling, and exploring digital real estate, with interactive apps, in-world payments, and peer-to-peer communication. There are two types of tokens in Decentraland that govern operations. The first is LAND, which is a non-fungible token (NFT) that represents ownership of land parcels. The second is MANA, a cryptocurrency that facilitates purchases of LAND and virtual goods and services within the platform.
Working of Decentraland
Decentraland uses the Ethereum blockchain to track ownership of digital land defined by LAND tokens. To engage with the platform, users need to hold MANA tokens within an Ethereum wallet. The Decentraland application is built using Ethereum smart contracts. The consensus layer maintains a ledger that tracks the ownership of land parcels, and the content layer controls what happens within each parcel. This includes content files, script files, and interaction definitions.
Moreover, Decentraland also has a marketplace and builder tools. The marketplace allows participants to manage and exchange LAND tokens and in-game items such as wearables and unique names.
All transactions are settled between Ethereum wallets verified by Ethereum’s network and logged on its blockchain. The builder tools enable owners to curate a unique experience within their LAND parcels using editing tools to design interactive scenes.
