Decentraland is a virtual reality platform powered by Ethereum that allows users to create, experience, and monetize content and applications. It exists as a virtual world where users buy plots of land – each represented by an ERC-721 non-fungible token LAND – to build upon. Apart from LAND, Decentraland also uses an ERC-20 token MANA that must be burned to acquire LAND and can also be used to customize your world.

Decentraland is a decentralized autonomous organization and as such its future is decided by its users, who propose and vote on policy updates, the types of content allowed etc. In addition to using Decentraland as a creative outlet, many users monetize their LAND via advertising, leasing and paid experiences, while others create and sell items on the Decentraland marketplace for MANA.
