Since Mark Zuckerberg uttered the word "metaverse" late last year, virtually every human being on the planet has uttered it at some point. There is no article of technology, virtual reality or artificial intelligence that does not refer to that parallel universe, virtual and digital in which they say we will live in a few years. A kind of dystopia in life to which many gurus see us doomed, whether we want it or not.
Decentralized and without 'big brother'
The problem with this stampede that has taken place to conquer the metaverse is that it has brought us many companies that want to take over it. There is no corporation that does not want to be the boss and that is why in the near future we will see "decided bets" that will try to take as many users as possible to become the owner of that virtual universe. But, And if things don't go the way they want and what users are looking for is a decentralized environment?
That is precisely why you bet decentralland, for being a universe where there are no set rules by a company that decides what we can do and what we can buy. The key to this development, which has been with us for two years now, is that it runs through the Ethereum blockchain (to store information and maintain property records through NFTs) and offers users complete freedom, not only to buy plots (called LAND) or goods with a cryptocurrency (MANA), but it goes a step further by providing creation tools so that we can make our work profitable.
What sets you apart from the rest?
What is causing Decentraland is permeating among users is that is supervised by a non-profit organization as is the Decentraland Foundation, and what the players do does not meet an agenda previously imposed by anyone. It is simply all those who participate who are organizing and adapting to the needs of the community. Thanks to this possibility of manufacturing in this universe, companies have appeared that build you a house or that generate services for which real employees are needed, within the virtual environment. It is the case of his own Decentraland, who posted a job offer last year looking for a "casino host" that included a salary paid in MANA.
That ability to create objects or services that can be bought or sold in that metaverse allows a real commercial between users, without the participation of an intermediary that limits what we do and that, if necessary in the future, could go bankrupt, close its doors and take what was spent with them. Here it is the community that comes to be managed, as a society in which factors such as supply and demand act, not only the prices of products, but also jobs, trends, fashions and that ends up balancing naturally as it occurs in a real society.
This feature is what is leading more and more users to try this experience virtual that takes the metaverse seriously, not as a way to make money through a bubble that we will see how long it lasts, but as a progressive, decentralized, secure experience that is managed through the decisions made by all participants.
