Ethereum-Based Virtual Reality Game Decentraland Finally Launches

  • All in-game transactions for Decentraland will use the Ethereum blockchain

The blockchain-based virtual reality game Decentraland raised tens of millions of USD during an initial coin offering (ICO) in 2017, and after years of development, the game has finally publicly launched.

Decentraland aims to be a blockchain-based version of games like Second Life, where players can live a virtual life and own virtual properties and businesses. All virtual property within the game, including land, avatars, and in-game items will be tokenized on the Ethereum blockchain, giving players full control of their property. Further, all in-game transactions will take place on the Ethereum blockchain.

Land trading has already become highly popular on the Decentraland network, with pieces of virtual property that are worth thousands of USD being traded every few hours.

Notably, BitcoinNews tried to login to the Decentraland game on both an iMac and iPhone 11 in order to test it out, but it did not work, so it seems Decentraland is not yet widely compatible, and perhaps requires a Windows-based gaming computer.
