A new virtual world has hit the blockchain. Decentraland is a virtual reality platform that is powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Users can create, experience, and monetize content and applications. This is the first virtual reality platform that is owned by its users.

This is essentially a virtualized life. A new world powered through a VR headset. You can buy land, build architecture, and interact with others users who live their own virtual lives. Pretty awesome right?

Another unique ability will be the ability to sell the land you own for real money! The Terraform event launches in Quarter 4 of 2017 (This Quarter!). When it launches, people will be able to start claiming land in the game. Also being released in Quarter 4 is the bronze age, which allows for multiplayer support with avatars and live chat. Also allowing custom items and scripting on the land you own.

Funding

In August, Decentraland raised around $26 million from their ICO crowdsale. Since then, they have partnered with District Ox, Aragon, and imToken. I listened to a podcast with technical lead of Decentraland Esteban Ordano, and he says they are also in talks with Fun Fair (FUN) about a future partnership. Fun Fair is a new online casino built on the blockchain. FUN is claiming to be the world's fastest Ethereum casino platforms out there. Fun Fair wants to implement their casinos into the Decentraland game.

All-in-all, Decentraland aims to make this the most realistic virtual game on the market. They aim to create an entirely new virtual life for their users, where they can create any life they desire for themselves.
