Welcome!

Decentraland is a virtual world owned by its users, developed in the open and ready to grow with the contributions of people all around the globe.

This documentation details the Decentraland open protocol, everything from the architectural overview to the specific capabilities of each component. Here you’ll find the resources you need to:

1. Design products and applications in the ecosystem
2. Conduct research and investigate the contents of the world
3. Create your own World Explorer
4. Pursue novel ideas that may end up in this list

Let’s build the metaverse together!
