Decentraland introduces the “Worlds” beta, available for NAME NFT holders

The Decentraland Foundation introduces Worlds beta. With this release, the company aims to grow and enrich the platform by lowering the barriers for users to becoming a Decentraland-based creator. Worlds will serve as a place for the metaverse’s users to experiment, build, and host digital experiences and events. 

These virtual venues are personal metaverse-located 3D four-parcel-large spaces, 16×16 meters per parcel. A land owner can decide the layout of the space, develop experiences, and invite up to a hundred players to visit the World simultaneously. It is important to note that holders can not sell or trade their Worlds.

The Worlds are linked to NAME NFTs. Starting today, NAME holders can claim Worlds lands. Decentraland users can purchase a NAME token from a previous owner on the platform’s marketplace or create it for 100 $MANA. When creating a new token, a collector can choose a name that contains less than 15 characters.

Decentraland also noted that users might expect future changes, as the feature is currently tested in beta. 

This year, the metaverse platform became the venue for interactive virtual events. In March, Decentraland hosted the first metaverse fashion week, featuring such renowned designers as Dolce&Gabbana and Tommy Hilfiger. In November, the Metaverse Music Festival took place on the platform. Notably, the festival was live for 927 minutes and hosted over 180 musicians of various genres.
