Decentraland - a 3D virtual reality world!

Decentraland is a virtual reality game based on owning property & building in-game (using the A-frame.io platform). It is currently in the bronze-age of the game, which is a prototype version allowing users to preview the in-game landscape & existing properties. Decentraland is not run on its own blockchain, however uses the Ethereum blockchain.
In December we will see the closing of the initial coin offering, and the release of the games 'iron age', being the public beta. The 'Silicon age' will follow in 2018 - being the games full release, a 3D Virtual world, with customization of physics & your own properties!

I recommend checking out their website & whitepaper over at https://decentraland.org/ & joining the rocket chat for any questions you may have! Alternatively, you are welcome to ask me.

MANA, the in-game currency used to decentraland has recently been added to the Bittrex exchange, and provided impressive volume for the exchanges most recent added coin, currently sitting at a daily trade volume of 1.8k Bittcoin, being listed for only 12 hours.

You can get invested into the game early by staking your investment of MANA, allowing you to partake in an auction for propery in the Genesis city upon games beta release. You also have the option to bid for a district location nearby.

Staking your MANA before the end of Oct. will see a return of 15% bonus for investors of over 1,000MANA. Investing before Novembers end will see a bonus of 10%, before the games beta release in December. If you were to make an initial stake, you would not have the opportunity to resell your LAND in game until the december release. You can review the bonus structure and land allocation policy at https://blog.decentraland.org/registration-for-the-genesis-city-auction-is-now-open-bf323139a1e5

LAND itself is it's own Token, LAND, in game is much like real life realestate, and can be purchased in different areas such as the GENESIS City. You can view a list of the existing district listings here, https://github.com/decentraland/districts/issues

There is only one option as of yet for purchasing land, 10m x 10m, or 33ft x 33ft. You can build upwards without any limits.

The value of your land can also be determined by more than just location. What you decide to build on said land could effect the value of the propery, alongside the reputation of the property.

Your MANA can be accessed via Metamask, and have the ability to deposit from an exchange to your Metamask wallet, and stake your MANA for the upcoming Terraform event.

Aside from Staking your MANA leading up to the release, you can alternatively invest in Decentraland buy purchasing MANA & storing it on the exchange of purchase, or your metamask wallet.

MANA is definitely a coin to follow in my opinion, many have tried to build a virtual world with realestate to invest in, and Decentraland has nailed exactly that on a 3D platform.

I hope this gave you a better understanding of the currency, and an insight to the coming game that is Decentraland.
