## BitTorrent (BTT) คืออะไร?

BitTorrent เป็นการแชร์ไฟล์แบบ peer-to-peer ([P2P](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/peer-to-peer-p2p)) และแพลตฟอร์ม torrent ที่ได้รับความนิยมมากขึ้นในช่วงไม่กี่ปีที่ผ่านม

เปิดตัวครั้งแรกในเดือนกรกฎาคม 2001 โดย BitTorrent ถูกซื้อโดยแพลตฟอร์ม [บล็อกเชน](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) อย่าง [TRON](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/tron/) ในเดือนกรกฎาคม 2018

นับตั้งแต่เข้าซื้อกิจการ BitTorrent ได้เพิ่มเครื่องมือใหม่ ๆ ด้วยโทเค็นคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีที่มีความเฉพาะอย่าง BTT ซึ่งเปิดตัวในเดือนกุมภาพันธ์ 2019 BTT เปิดตัวบนบล็อคเชนของ TRON โดยใช้โทเค็นมาตรฐาน TRC-10

ตามเอกสารอย่างเป็นทางการ ปัจจุบันนี้ BitTorrent เป็น "โปรโตคอลการสื่อสาร แบบ P2P ที่มีการทำงานแบบกระจายอำนาจที่ใหญ่ที่สุดในโลก"

### ใครคือผู้ก่อตั้ง BitTorrent?

BitTorrent เดิมเป็นคิดค้นโดย Bram Cohen นักพัฒนาและผู้ประกอบการ ซึ่งตัวเขาเองได้กลายเป็นที่รู้จักกันดีในเวทีคริปโตเคอร์เรนซี

โดย Cohen ได้อธิบายว่าเขาออกแบบ BitTorrent เพื่อเปลี่ยนแปลงอุตสาหกรรมบันเทิงที่ล้าสมัย ที่มีการเข้าถึงเนือหาที่ช้าและมีราคาแพง

แพลตฟอร์มนี้มีการต่อสู้ทางกฎหมายหลายครั้ง โดย Cohen ยืนยันว่าจะไม่มีการละเมิดกฎหมายลิขสิทธิ์ในการอนุญาตให้ผู้ใช้แชร์ไฟล์ เช่น เพลงและภาพยนตร์ระหว่างกัน

ในปี 2018 TRON ได้เข้าซื้อกิจการของ BitTorrent โดยนำ BitTorrent มาอยู่ภายใต้การควบคุมของ Justin Sun Sun มีชื่อเสียงเป็นอย่างมากในของปลั๊กอินทั้ง TRON ที่เป็นคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีและเทคโนโลยีบล็อกเชน โดยเสนอราคา 4.5 ล้านดอลลาร์ในการประมูลการกุศลเพื่อรับประทานอาหารกลางวันกับ Warren Buffett (บุคคลที่มีชื่อเสียงในการต่อต้านคริปโต) และหารือเกี่ยวกับคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีกับเขา

TRON ยังอยู่เบื้องหลังการเพิ่มคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีใน BitTorrent เนื่องจากโทเค็น BTT ได้รับการเผยแพร่บนบล็อกเชนของ TRON การเคลื่อนย้ายครั้งนี้เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของความพยายามของ TRON ในการเพิ่มคุณสมบัติในการกระจายอำนาจที่มากขึ้นให้กับแพลตฟอร์ม

#### อะไรที่ทำให้ BitTorrent ไม่เหมือนใคร?

เป้าหมายเดิมของ BitTorrent คือการเปลี่ยนแปลงอุตสาหกรรมความบันเทิงแบบเดิมและวิธีที่ผู้บริโภคเข้าถึงเนื้อหาต่าง ๆ

โดยมีเครือข่ายการจัดจำหน่ายที่มีราคาแพงและไม่มีประสิทธิภาพเป็นเป้าหมายหลัก ทำให้ Bram Cohen ผู้พัฒนาในระยะแรกเริ่มมองเห็นประโยชน์ในการอนุญาตให้ผู้ใช้อินเทอร์เน็ตสามารถเผยแพร่เนื้อหาระหว่างกันได้โดยตรง

ในช่วงต้นปี 2000 BitTorrent กลายเป็นแพลตฟอร์มแชร์ไฟล์ P2P ที่ได้รับความนิยม ด้วย TRON ที่เข้ามาในปี 2018

ภายใต้ TRON แพลตฟอร์ม BitTorrent ได้ขยายการดึงดูดผู้ใช้ไปยังผู้ที่สนใจในโซลูชันการกระจายอำนาจและคริปโตเคอร์เรนซี ตลอดจนฐานผู้ใช้ของตนเอง

คุณลักษณะที่เพิ่มเข้ามา ได้แก่ BitTorrent Speed ซึ่งใช้โทเค็น BTT เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของการดำเนินงาน

BitTorrent ยังได้แยกออกเป็นบริการชำระเงิน, แพลตฟอร์มแบบ "พรีเมียม" หลายเวอร์ชัน ซึ่งรวมถึงคุณลักษณะ VPN และการท่องเว็บแบบไม่มีโฆษณา

#### มีเหรียญ BitTorrent (BTT) หมุนเวียนอยู่กี่เหรียญ?

BTT เป็นคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีดั้งเดิมของ BitTorrent ที่ผลิตบนบล็อกเชนของ TRON ซึ่งเป็นโทเค็นมาตรฐาน TRC-10

อุปทานทั้งหมดตามที่ระบุไว้ในสมุดปกขาวคือ 990,000,000,000 BTT 6% ของทั้งหมดนั้นจะถูกจัดสรรไว้สำหรับการขายโทเค็นต่อสาธารณะ, 2% ในการขายโทเค็นส่วนตัว และ 9% ในการขายแบบลับ ๆ

อีก 20.1% จะถูกเก็บไว้สำหรับ airdrops ซึ่งกำหนดให้เกิดขึ้นในช่วงต่าง ๆ จนถึงปี 2025 ทีม BitTorrent และองค์กร umbrella รวมไปถึง BitTorrent Foundation จะได้รับรางวัลจำนวน 19% ของอุปทาน โดย TRON foundation ถืออุปทานไว้ที่ 20% และอีก 19.9% จะถูกส่งไปที่ระบบนิเวศของ BitTorrent เอง

4% สุดท้ายของโทเค็นจะถูกสงวนไว้สำหรับกิจกรรมเพื่อสร้างความร่วมมือ

BTT มีบทบาทที่หลากหลายในผลิตภัณฑ์ของ BitTorrent รวมถึงการอนุญาตให้ผู้ใช้สามารถจ่ายเงินให้ผู้อื่นเพื่อการดาวน์โหลดที่เร็วขึ้นด้วย BitTorrent Speed

### เครือข่าย BitTorrent มีความปลอดภัยอย่างไร?

โดย BitTorrent กล่าวว่ามีการใช้ "มาตรการรักษาความปลอดภัยระดับสูงสุด" เพื่อรักษาความปลอดภัยของเงินทุนของผู้ใช้ แต่อย่างไรก็ตามยังคงแนะนำว่าคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีนั้นมีความเสี่ยงโดยธรรมชาติ

บริษัทแนะนำให้ผู้ใช้ป้องกันตนเองจากการโจรกรรม ในรูปแบบของมัลแวร์หรือโปรแกรมที่คล้ายคลึงกัน โดยใช้ตัวเลือกต่าง ๆ เช่น การตรวจสอบแบบไบโอเมตริกซ์

### คุณสามารถซื้อ BitTorrent (BTT) ได้จากที่ไหน?

BTT สามารถซื้อขายได้กับคริปโตเคอร์เรนซี, stablecoins หรือแม้แต่สกุลเงิน fiat ในตัวกลางการแลกเปลี่ยนที่สำคัญ ๆ ไม่ว่าจะเป็น [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/exchanges/binance/) , [Huobi Global](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/exchanges/huobi-global/) และ [OKEx](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/exchanges/okex/)

eCash (XEC) is the rebranded version of Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHA), itself a fork of Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). It calls itself a “cryptocurrency that’s designed to be used as electronic cash.” eCash strictly aims to be a means of transaction used to pay for goods and services. The coin was rebranded on July 1, 2021, and has since tried to distinguish itself from its predecessor. The base units of eCash are called “bits” and replace the unwieldy decimal places of Bitcoin Cash ABC. Instead of sending 0.00001000 BTC, you would send 10 bits with eCash. ECash integrates a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus layer called “Avalanche,” which is not to be mistaken for the blockchain Avalanche (AVAX). Upon rebranding, eCash announced that it would convert all BCHA coins to XEC at a ratio of one to one million.

The cryptocurrency’s developers have set their sights on three main improvements:

Scaling transaction throughput from 100 transactions per second to more than five million transactions per second

Improving the payment experience by reducing transaction finality time

Extending the protocol and establishing fork-free upgrades

SHIB is a decentralized, community-led currency held by millions across the globe. Since its inception in late 2020, the Ethereum-based SHIB token has grown to become a worldwide phenomenon, and is now accepted as a form of payment at hundreds of locations, either directly or through third-party intermediaries.

Shiba Inu coin was created anonymously in August 2020 under the pseudonym "Ryoshi." Ryoshi says about himself that he is a nobody and not important and that the efforts to unmask his identity, even if successful, would be underwhelming.

This meme coin quickly gained speed and value as a community of investors was drawn in by the cute charm of the coin paired with headlines and tweets from personalities like Elon Musk and Vitalik Buterin.

Since release SHIB now trades on the ecosystem's proprietary DEX, ShibaSwap.

Terra is a blockchain protocol that uses fiat-pegged stablecoins to power price-stable global payments systems. According to its white paper, Terra combines the price stability and wide adoption of fiat currencies with the censorship-resistance of Bitcoin (BTC) and offers fast and affordable settlements.

Development on Terra began in January 2018, and its mainnet officially launched in April 2019. As of September 2021, it offers stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar, South Korean won, Mongolian tugrik and the International Monetary Fund's Special Drawing Rights basket of currencies — and it intends to roll out additional options.

On May 28, 2022, the genesis block of the new chain was launched to conduct future transactions under the name Terra (LUNA), and the original Terra Chain was rebranded as Terra Classic. The original native token — LUNA has also been renamed as LUNA Classic (LUNC). Moreover, all network stablecoins (UST, KRT, EUT) have been renamed to Terra Classic stablecoins (USTC, KRTC, EUTC). There will be no Terra stablecoins on the new chain.

There is a theory that the additional term “classic” is a reference to the Ethereum / Ethereum Classic split in 2017. According to CEO, Do Kwon, the collapse of UST in the spring of 2022 is the equivalent moment of the Ethereum’s DAO hack that took place in 2017.

Terra Classic

TRON (TRX) is a decentralized blockchain-based operating system developed by the Tron Foundation and launched in 2017. Originally TRX tokens were ERC-20-based tokens deployed on Ethereum, but a year later they were moved to their own network.

Initially, the project was created with the aim of providing full ownership rights to makers of digital content. The main goal is to help content creators (who receive only a small part of the income) and encourage them with more rewards for their work. How: invite content consumers to reward content makers directly (without intermediaries like YouTube, Facebook or Apple).

The TRON software supports smart contracts, various kinds of blockchain systems, and decentralized applications aka dApps. The cryptocurrency platform uses a transaction model similar to Bitcoin (BTC), namely UTXO. Transactions take place in a public ledger, where users can track the history of operations.

Therefore, the platform was built to create a decentralized Internet and serves as a tool for developers to create dApps, acting as an alternative to Ethereum. Anyone can create dApps on the TRON network, offer content, and in return receive digital assets as compensation for their efforts. The ability to create content and share it openly without hesitation regarding transaction fees is an undeniable advantage of TRON.

Floki (FLOKI) is the people's cryptocurrency and the utility token of the Floki Ecosystem. It is a cryptocurrency birthed by fans and members of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) community and is inspired by (and named after) Elon Musk’s Shiba Inu.

Musk is a prominent fan of Dogecoin, although he publicly denied owning any SHIB. Floki Inu is working on “four flagship utility projects:”

An NFT gaming metaverse called Valhalla

A suite of decentralized finance products launched under the "FlokiFi" umbrella.

An NFT and merchandise marketplace called FlokiPlaces

A content and education platform called University of Floki

The community calls itself the “Floki Vikings” in honor of Floki (Musk’s dog) that was named after a Viking character. Floki vows to take its community efforts seriously and has been listed several times in the Top 10 of LunarCrush’s social engagement leaderboards. Floki has also partnered with leading crypto projects that include Chainlink, Trader Joe, ApeSwap for its FlokiFi Locker digital asset locker protocol.

Floki is also sometimes referred to by some as "Floki Inu".

Dogecoin (DOGE) is based on the popular "doge" Internet meme and features a Shiba Inu on its logo. The open-source digital currency was created by Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon and Jackson Palmer from Sydney, Australia, and was forked from Litecoin in December 2013. Dogecoin's creators envisaged it as a fun, light-hearted cryptocurrency that would have greater appeal beyond the core Bitcoin audience, since it was based on a dog meme. Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted several tweets on social media that Dogecoin is his favorite coin.

According to the one-pager, BONK is the first dog-themed coin on Solana "for the people, by the people" with 50% of the total supply of the cryptocurrency airdropped to the Solana community. BONK is similar to Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) memecoins, it was launched on December 25, 2022, and led to an increase in the price of the SOL token (a rise of 34% in 48 hours). Trading began on December 30, 2022, arousing genuine interest from the crypto community.

The main goal of the team is to bring back liquidity to Solana-based decentralized exchanges (DEXs). The idea of the developers was to create a full-fledged community coin that will be used across all the dApps built on Solana, and each user will have the opportunity to become part of the ecosystem, "where everyone gets a fair shot".

BONK was airdropped randomly to Solana NFT collectors, developers, and artists, other airdrop details remain unknown. Currently, the project has a small digital footprint on the Internet, except for an active twitter account.

PEPE is a deflationary memecoin launched on Ethereum. The cryptocurrency was created as a tribute to the Pepe the Frog internet meme, created by Matt Furie, which gained popularity in the early 2000s.

The project aims to capitalize on the popularity of meme coins, like Shiba Inu and Dogecoin, and strives to establish itself as one of the top meme-based cryptocurrencies. PEPE appeals to the cryptocurrency community by instituting a no-tax policy and being up-front about its lack of utility, keeping things pure and simple as a memecoin.

In late April to May 2023, the explosive surge of PEPE caused its market cap to reach a high of $1.6 billion at one point, minting millionaires out of early holders and attracting a strong community of like-minded followers. It has induced what some may dub a "memecoin season," causing other memecoins — some launched within hours — to go on spectacular pumps and just as astounding dumps. It remains to be seen if PEPE and other memecoins will go on to new highs, although that is certainly the hope of many believers waiting for the coming BTC halving cycle praying for a Bull Run.

The PEPE roadmap features three phases, where phase one includes listing on CoinMarketCap, and getting $PEPE trending on Twitter, while phase two includes listing on centralized exchanges (CEXs) and phase three includes “tier 1” exchange listings and what the team terms a “meme takeover.”

Holo is a peer-to-peer distributed platform for hosting decentralized applications built using Holochain, a framework for developing DApps that does not require the use of blockchain technology. The goal of Holo is to serve as a bridge between the broader internet and apps built using Holochain, offering an ecosystem and marketplace in which DApps are easily accessible, as they are hosted on the internet by Holo network participants.

The Holo network will be facilitated using a token called HoloFuel, which is actively being tested and will act as an accounting system to pay hosts for their services. In 2018, the project minted an ERC-20 token, HOT — also known as HoloToken — as an "IOU" that will be redeemable for HoloFuel upon launch.

Holo is still in development and is expected to launch for open alpha and beta testing by 2021.

Launched in 2021, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is an open-source, permissionless and decentralized technology. Benefits of the XRP Ledger include its low-cost ($0.0002 to transact), speed  (settling transactions in 3-5 seconds), scalability (1,500 transactions per second) and inherently green attributes (carbon-neutral and energy-efficient). The XRP Ledger also features the first decentralized exchange (DEX) and custom tokenization capabilities built into the protocol. Since 2012, the XRP Ledger has been operating reliably, having closed 70 million ledgers.

Bitgert (BRISE) is a crypto engineering project launched in July 2021 that specializes in blockchain products and centralized exchange. Initially, Bitgert was built on BNB Chain and used BNB, its native token, to pay rewards. However one of the most significant Bitgert developments was presented in 2022: the BRC20 blockchain. It offers near-zero gas fees and high speed cross-chain transactions. More specifically, the gas fee is $0.0000000000001 per transaction, while the supported throughput is up to 100,000 TPS.

The list of Bitgert products also includes Bitgert Blockchain, Bitgert Exchange, Paybrise, Realestate Marketplace,  Decentralized marketplace, BRISE staking, BRISE Swap.

Bitgert offers an alternative to the popular DEX platform PancakeSwap.

BRISE is Bitgert's native token, allowing investors to benefit from staking and earning rewards in BUSD on BSC network only.

Smart contract on BSC Chain feature a buyback mechanism. To be more precise, Bitgert directs 5% of every transaction fee for buyback, 3% for marketing and 4% for staking rewards. According to the team, buyback is meant to support the price of BRISE token making it a deflationary asset.

Smart contract on ETH Network has zero tax fee

BRISE claims to have a real use case with becoming the global payment system and is applied as a peer-to-peer (P2P) service in the BRISE dApp Wallet. Thus, buyers and sellers interact directly, without the participation of a third party, through the P2P service, and transactions are carried out quickly, securely and with zero fees.

Stellar (XLM) is a peer-to-peer (P2P) decentralized network created in 2014 by The Stellar Development Foundation or Stellar.org. The network officially launched in 2015 with the purpose of connecting the world's financial systems and ensuring a protocol for payment providers and financial institutions. The platform is designed to move financial resources swiftly and reliably at minimal cost. Stellar links people, banks, payment processors and allows users to create, send and trade multiple types of crypto.

The basis of the network is its native digital currency - XLM or Lumens. XLM acts as an intermediate currency for operations and is also used to pay transaction fees. How it works: the protocol converts money in a few seconds, first into XLM, and then into the requested currency.

The Stellar payment protocol is based on distributed ledger technology -- an open-source development, community-owned and distributed by community. The crypto asset of the Stellar platform helps with cross-border transactions, overcoming the problems of high fees and slow procedures. XLM is more focused on assisting individuals transfer money than they are with institutions. Thus, Stellar offers access to financial systems, and people can send money at low cost and promptly around the world.

Moreover, Stellar serves as a decentralized exchange and marketplace, with a built-in order book that tracks ownership of Stellar assets. Platform users can manage buy/sell orders, as well as select and set their preferred assets in settlements. XLM is a built-in coin that helps reduce transaction fees.

The network maintains a high level of security.  XLM holders must have at least one token in order to remain active on the network. This nuance performs a global goal - the execution of network transactions efficiently and with minimal time costs. Plus, Lumens offers protection against flood attacks by making microtransactions too expensive for hackers with no chance of profit, which keeps Stellar Network safe from serious threats.

The target audience of Stellar is the inhabitants of developing countries, ordinary users who are provided access to the global economy through fast, simple and inexpensive transactions. Stellar Network makes extensive use of Lumens to produce live convection as well as to send cash in multiple currencies; currency is sent from one peer, and the recipient can receive the amount in another currency. This feature is beneficial when a transaction is made between currencies without widely traded pairs.

Support for multi-currency transactions is another competitive advantage of Stellar, and the ability for cross-currency transactions has only enhanced processes with foreign operations. Moreover, stable speed and low transaction costs are a privilege that users receive.

This functionality is powered by a development called Anchors (a bridge between different currencies and the network), which simplifies the exchange within the network and helps speed up the whole process.

In summary, the benefits of Stellar (XLM) include:

Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform that says its goal is to allow “changemakers, innovators and visionaries” to bring about positive global change.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Cardano.

The open-source project also aims to “redistribute power from unaccountable structures to the margins to individuals” — helping to create a society that is more secure, transparent and fair.

Cardano was founded back in 2017, and named after the 16th century Italian polymath Gerolamo Cardano. The native ADA token takes its name from the 19th century mathematician Ada Lovelace, widely regarded as the world’s first computer programmer. The ADA token is designed to ensure that owners can participate in the operation of the network. Because of this, those who hold the cryptocurrency have the right to vote on any proposed changes to the software.

The team behind the layered blockchain say that there have already been some compelling use cases for its technology, which aims to allow decentralized apps and smart contracts to be developed with modularity.

In August 2021, Charles Hoskinson announced the launch of the Alonzo hard fork, causing Cardano price to surge, gaining 116% in the following month. On Sept. 12, 2021, the Cardano ‘Alonzo’ hard fork officially launched, bringing smart contract functionality to the blockchain. Over 100 smart contracts were deployed in the following 24 hours after the launch.

Cardano is used by agricultural companies to track fresh produce from field to fork, while other products built on the platform allow educational credentials to be stored in a tamper-proof way, and retailers to clamp down on counterfeit goods.

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.

In this virtual world, users purchase plots of land that they can later navigate, build upon and monetize.

Decentraland was launched following a $24 million initial coin offering (ICO) that was conducted in 2017. 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 an ERC-20 token that must be burned to acquire non-fungible ERC-721 LAND tokens. MANA tokens can also be used to pay for a range of avatars, wearables, names, and more on the Decentraland marketplace.

Decentraland (MANA) is a decentralized virtual world platform with software based on the Ethereum blockchain, where users create, test and monetize content. In short: users buy virtual plots of land as NFTs with MANA tokens on the Decentraland platform. Progress in the game depends only on players themselves, their efforts and their imagination.

The digital platform is completely owned by its users. Within the Decentraland metaverse, participants can explore the virtual world, purchase plots of land that can be monetized, create works of art, own non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and take part in a decentralized autonomous organization of the platform Decentraland DAO. Due to the DAO, the community influences the development vector of the project.

In addition, users have access to interactive applications, in-world payments and peer-to-peer communication. The 3D world resonates with many participants as Decentraland has many applications, both entertainment for gamers and business for investors.

Two types of tokens called MANA and LAND govern operations in Decentraland. They also allow users to interact with the platform.

MANA is the official currency of Decentraland. It’s an ERC-20 standard token that powers the Decentraland platform. With MANA, users can purchase plots of LAND, as well as pay for in-game items and services.

MANA gives its holders the right to vote in Decentraland DAO. MANA can be purchased on a cryptocurrency exchange or by selling collectibles on Decentraland Marketplace. The owner of tokens converts them to wrapped MANA, or wMANA, and then commits them to the DAO. One wMANA equals one vote. MANA can be exchanged for fiat currency and other digital assets.

As for LAND, it’s a non-fungible token (NFT) based on Ethereum (ETH). It is used to track ownership of land parcels aka digital real estate. Like MANA, LAND is part of the protocol and confers voting rights, but LAND does not need to be fixed in the DAO. One LAND is equal to two thousand votes.

Players choose what to do with their land. Owners store tokens in crypto wallets and buy necessities with MANA tokens on the Decentraland Marketplace. Moreover, on the marketplace, participants can manage or exchange LAND tokens (priced in MANA). Holders use the marketplace to transact or transfer in-game items. All transactions are conducted, regulated and registered via the Ethereum blockchain.

Decentraland combines an online gaming space and blockchain technology. All control over the rules is given to the players, and token holders vote on in-game and organizational policies. The original goal was to form a decentralized virtual reality, but in practice, Decentraland has turned into a massive NFT market.

A special role in Decentraland is assigned to NFTs, such as collectibles, virtual equipment and real estate (LAND). However, for new players who want to join the universe and seize NFTs, the entry barrier will be high.

The Decentraland protocol is built on three levels using Ethereum smart contracts. On the consensus layer, the ownership of LAND is tracked and managed. The land content layer displays the content of the Decentraland virtual world. Finally, on the real-time layer, participants interact with each other.

The platform was co-founded by two blockchain experts, Ari Meilich and Esteban Ordano, in 2015. Officially it was launched a year later and became available only in February 2020, gradually turning from a 2D experiment into a full-fledged 3D world.

To sum up, Decentraland is a decentralized game and a 3D virtual reality platform where players own lands and create limitlessly. Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) software is at the core, and governance is in the hands of the community. Through the native token MANA, players participate in any proposals for managing and improving the ecosystem, the auction system, and the in-game policy.
