What is Decentraland?

Decentraland is a decentralized virtual world owned by its users. An open-source platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Within the Decentraland platform, users can create, experience, and monetize their content and applications.

Decentraland is about users unlocking new opportunities by achieving a complete ownership and control over their digital assets and identities.

Voting Power

Voting power is calculated from the total balance of MANA, NAMES and LAND associated with the wallet connected with the DAO.

  • 1 MANA contributes 1 VP

  • 1 NAME contributes 100 VP

  • 1 LAND parcel contributes 2000 VP

Voting Power

Voting power is calculated from the total balance of MANA, NAMES and LAND associated with the wallet connected with the DAO.

  • 1 MANA contributes 1 VP

  • 1 NAME contributes 100 VP

  • 1 LAND parcel contributes 2000 VP

*The moment a new proposal is created, the DAO looks at all voters MANA and rest of assets balances to calculate their voting power. In other words, when you vote on a proposal, the voting power of your vote will be equal to the balance you had at the instant the proposal was initially created.

Grants

The Decentraland DAO possesses a MANA fund that has been set aside to help sponsor and facilitate the continual growth of the Decentraland platform. One avenue used by the DAO to achieve these goals is a grants program that was voted in place by the community.

This grants program allows any member of the community to request funding to make contributions in community building and education, creating 3D content for the world, or implementing new features and improvements to the platform. Grants can be requested by completing a proposal form within the DAO.��Categories: Accelerator - Core Unit - Documentation - In-World Content - Platform - Sponsorship Social Media Content

Proposals

Governance Proposal

A Decentraland DAO Governance Proposal is a formal submission made by a community member or stakeholder within the Decentraland community to suggest and/or propose changes, improvements, or initiatives related to the platform's governance, technical infrastructure, ecosystem development, or other aspects.

These proposals are a fundamental part of the decentralized decision-making process within the Decentraland ecosystem, allowing community members to have a say in the direction and evolution of the platform.
