Learn about the MANA token
Decentraland (MANA) defines itself as a virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain that allows users to create, experience, and monetize content and applications. MANA is the native token for all transactions on the Decentraland platform.
In this virtual world, users purchase plots of land that they can later navigate, build upon and monetize. The virtual world launched its closed beta in 2019 and opened to the public in February 2020. Since then, users have created a wide range of experiences on their parcels of LAND, including interactive games, sprawling 3D scenes, and a variety of other interactive experiences.
Decentraland uses two tokens: MANA and LAND. MANA is the native ERC-20 token, and a percentage of the MANA gets burned every time someone purchases an NFT. This can either be virtual land, digital clothing for your avatar, or interactive installations sold as an NFT.
At the time of writing, the price of MANA is $0,68. Up considerably from it’s January low at $0,07, and down from its peak at $1,54 in May 2021.
Decentraland is also one of the growing number of projects to use a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) structure for governance decisions. As a result, MANA token holders are in control of how the Decentraland world behaves. They can propose and vote on policy updates, the MANA tokenomics, rules for content, or the development of new features. Users are invited to generate an income by creating and selling items on the Decentraland marketplace for MANA tokens. However, because of the open nature of Decentraland, other token projects (like Decentral Games’ DG token) have also emerged.
