Overview

At Decentraland, we are making sure the virtual world of the future is decentralized, open like the Web, and free of control by any single company or organization. To accomplish this, we’re building a suite of supporting tools and applications designed to help people create 3D immersive content, games, and applications. All of this is hosted and accessed on a fully decentralized platform. Our work touches web decentralized apps development, game design, cryptocurrencies, 3D art, decentralized server applications and networks, and, eventually, new experiences like immersive VR.

Our team is dedicated to pushing the limits of what can be done in each of these areas. Work happens quickly at Decentraland: we iterate frequently and are always chasing new problems to solve. Like the tools we build, our team is distributed and transparent. Our contributors are spread around the globe – all we require is a commitment to quality, creativity and flexibility.

One key piece of our project is the Explorer, the main client we provide to explore the decentralized world created by our community. The Explorer client allows anyone to enter the world and explore it, experiencing all the virtual content created by many different people like games, convention centers, companies’ headquarters, museums, art galleries, and much more.

The Product

Decentraland is the world’s first fully decentralized, Ethereum blockchain-based virtual world, built, governed, and owned by its users. It’s a truly unique ecosystem with its own decentralized autonomous organization, currency, marketplace, and system of property – and it’s growing fast! New creations are added daily by creators who use proprietary developer tools to make games, puzzles, scenes, artworks – whatever their imaginations allow. Via their personal avatars, users attend live music events, conferences, exhibitions, dance parties, and other experiences every day of the year. What began as a proof-of-concept for assigning ownership of digital real estate to users of a blockchain is now an immersive, ever-expanding, and richly detailed metaverse, where anything is possible.
