Summary: In this episode of Building on Blockchain, I sit down with Carl Fravel. Carl is an adviser to the Decentraland project, he's been nominated as Chancellor to Decentraland University, he's a professor at the VR Academy where he has created a free course on building virtual reality scenes in Decentraland. He's also known for authoring a book about building scenes in VR using Sansar. What is Decentraland? Decentraland is an open-sourced Ethereum-powered 3D virtual reality platform. In this virtual world, you may purchase plots of land that you can later traverse, build upon, and monetize. There's no limit to what you can do. It's the first digital platform that's completely owned by its users. Decentraland uses its own cryptocurrency called MANA. Decentraland held its ICO (initial coin offering) in August 2017, raising $25.5 million in under a minute. The VR world will be launching in 2 weeks on February 20th, 2020.
