Decentraland has recently unveiled a new feature for its creators: specialized Emotes. Similar to wearables, creators now have the capability to craft unique Emotes, which can range from intricate dance moves to expressive dramatic poses.
Moreover, the scope of this latest development isn’t just limited to creation. Creators will also have the opportunity to sell these emotes as NFTs on the Decentraland marketplace, offering a new avenue for artistic expression and monetization within the platform.
What You Know About Decentraland Expressions
Decentraland currently offers 19 basic Emoticons, which are freely accessible to all players within the platform. In addition to these standard Emotes, creators now have the opportunity to craft and trade their own unique Emotes in the Metaverse’s marketplace. This also includes special Decentraland emotes that can be bought and sold.
The concept of NFT Emotes first emerged during Decentraland’s Metaverse Fashion Week earlier this year. This event also featured collaborations with celebrities, like Thalia, who partnered with Decentraland to create branded emoticons. With the introduction of emoticons into the creator market, now anyone has the ability to create and sell their own emotes.
Decentraland has also announced that creators will have the chance to showcase their exclusive Emotes at the upcoming Metaverse Music Festival. Furthermore, the Decentraland Foundation plans to hold an ‘Emote’ competition in the lead-up to the festival, with more details about the event to be announced soon.
Decentraland’s Metaverse
Decentraland, a 3D virtual world, allows users to purchase land as NFTs using the in-game cryptocurrency, MANA. This platform is governed by the Decentraland Foundation, a non-profit organization.
The development of Decentraland’s Metaverse began in 2015, but it soared to peak popularity in 2021, during the bull market season. In April 2021, land parcels in Decentraland were selling for thousands of dollars.
This year, Decentraland’s Metaverse has formed partnerships with major brands like Samsung, Adidas, and Atari, all of which have established their presence in Decentraland.
With its growing popularity, Decentraland has become known for its various initiatives. The Metaverse world has increasingly incorporated the use of NFTs, with recent partnerships further bolstering their popularity.
However, due to the prolonged ‘crypto winter’, the current prices and trading volumes are significantly lower than their previous highs, marking the lowest values in recent times.
Recently, Decentraland announced an upcoming event. Following this announcement, the event commenced last month and concluded in the first week of this month. A unique collaboration between Taco Bell and Decentraland led to a first-of-its-kind competition.
Taco Bell offered U.S.-based engaged couples the opportunity to get married in the Decentraland Metaverse. This contest was organized for such couples, with the winners granted the chance to have their wedding in a special Metaverse event in the future.
