Decentraland, a decentralized user-owned virtual world on the Ethereum blockchain, launched their virtual land marketplace on March 19th, 2018. Late last year, Decentraland finished their first-ever Terraform event in which 70,399 parcels of land were generated. Participants spent just over 161,000,000 MANA tokens on this virtual land. This is approximately $10m worth of virtual land at today’s MANA token price.

The Decentraland land marketplace launched as a way for users to sell their land or, for those who might have missed the Terraform event, to snag a plot of land in the Metaverse. Ready Player One could not have come out at a better time.

If you need to read up on Non-fungible Tokens (NFT’s), here’s a great article explaining what they are:

Land Parcels Sold in the Secondary Market

Since the launch of the Decentraland land marketplace, a third-party, NonFungible.com, has released a website to help us track the sales of Decentraland land. According to the website, over 850 parcels of land have been exchanged within the Decentraland marketplace.

As I type this article up, there are over 2,100 parcels of land on the marketplace of the 70,399 minted parcels. Currently, the lowest price a parcel is listed at is 7,490 MANA and the highest, removing unrealistic outliers, is around 10,000,000 MANA.

Decentraland Virtual Land Marketplace Data So Far

NonFungible.com is a website that has recently surfaced by one of the Decentraland community members to collect Non-fungible Token data for the community to have a transparent data-source to find past LAND sales. Data is extremely important to understanding the health of any economy, but even more when we’re discussing virtual world economies. Virtual world economies may even unearth deeper insights into how value is being created and captured in this constantly evolving, innovation-driven digital world. The real world economy does not capture raw transactional data like a public blockchain ledger.

For now, the website is in its early days and is very basic. I extrapolated the data from the website and crunched the numbers to provide you with a daily overview of March’s LAND sales in the chart above.
