Online gaming is evolving in a new way, with many metaverse games being created using blockchain technology.
The metaverse, a noble concept that allows people to interact with each other in a completely virtual environment, is an admirable idea. Video gaming has pioneered many of the things the metaverse wants to include, including avatars, virtual currencies and trading virtual items.

You are the sole owner. You will need MANA to buy LAND on Decentraland.
