About Decentraland

Decentraland is a 3D decentralized virtual reality platform. It has a total of 90601 land parcels to operate in the Metaverse. Moreover, users can purchase these plots in the form of NFT with MANA, an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency.

This user-generated Metaverse is making waves on the internet. It is a virtual world where millions of people participate and interact freely. Furthermore, users can socialize, explore, transact, play games, host parties, and other events. Additionally, they can also build their own spaces, thanks to blockchain technology. Decentraland’s players can create unique avatars of themselves, and make purchases and payments to each other.

To interact in the game, it is necessary to have Decentraland native tokens. The first one, MANA, is the governance token within the platform and the one required to perform transactions. Consequently, holders of MANA tokens can participate in the protocol’s governance and buy and sell objects within Decentraland. Each land token uniquely identifies properties on existing land parcels within that virtual world.

This year, Decentraland is back with its coveted Game Jam competition. At this event, the Metaverse platform will offer participants the chance to win prizes by demonstrating their talent in creating games designed for the Metaverse.

An interesting new feature is a partnership with Meta Game Hub Dao (MGH), a major developer in the Metaverse. In fact, DCL and MGH are teaming up to challenge the most talented gamers and developers in the virtual world.

Currently, developers have to use all possible tools to bring realism to their creations. Using the DCL Edit application developed by MGH, developers will expand the possibilities to create fully immersive experiences.

Prizes and Contest Rules

The contest prizes will be distributed in two blocks. First, Decentraland will award a prize ranging from 500 MANA for 11th-20th place, to 2 LAND + 5000 MANA for 1st place. On the other hand, MetaGameHub will give the second prize, ranging from $250 in MGH tokens for 11th-20th place to $5,000 in MGH tokens for 1st Place.
