About Decentraland
Decentraland is a decentralized VR (virtual reality) world that is powered by the Ethereum block chain. In this virtual world, you can purchase land, build it, monetize, and immerse into the applications and content that is built by other users.
What distinguishes Decentraland from other VR projects is its decentralized nature. Land and in-game currency are powered by the Ethereum block chain which give users complete ownership and promotes transparency.

DECENTRALAND HISTORY
In Dec. 2017, the first LAND tokens representing parcels in the first part of the game, Genesis City, were auctioned off. In March 2018, the Decentraland Marketplace was released allowing users to buy and sell parcels (LAND) in Genesis City as well as explore the area on a map. As of May 2018, the platform was still under development. The team plans to roll out access to the Decentraland world through a variety of devices including mobile, web and virtual reality (VR) platforms.
