Buy Decentraland (MANA), it’s easy!

What is Decentraland?

Decentraland is a virtual world project launched by developers Esteban Ordano and Ariel Meilich. The idea was born in 2015 and a couple of years later they launched an offering (ICO) collecting 86,206 Ether. This is how the foundation found funding to develop a metaverse platform. A virtual environment divided into 90,000 ‘lands’ (LAND), with a cryptocurrency (MANA) governing the exchange of goods between players. Anyone can participate in Decentraland: an open world where you can make friends, start businesses and visit places.

Why buy Decentraland?

MANA is the project’s main cryptocurrency. Buying MANA tokens, which are based on Ethereum, gives you access to services and digital spaces. The development environment allows you to even manage shops and promote your own creations. By owning a certain amount of MANA tokens, you become a member of the DAO (Decentralised autonomous organisation). You can then create proposals and vote on the development of the game. Decentraland’s cryptocurrency is a valid ticket to enter one of the most popular Metaverse games developed on the Blockchain.

How was it created?

Decentraland is supervised by the Decentraland Foundation, and is open to the public since February 2020. It went through various phases before becoming what we know today. In 2015, it was a simple 2D software where users could buy and own pixels, while now it is a full-fledged 3D world.
