Decentral accounts for almost 60% of the total traffic in Decentraland and it has just been granted $1M worth of $MANA. This grant will help Decentral Games’ $ICE token amid their sit-and-to tournament mode.

Both the communities were involved in the debate but finally, the proposal has been accepted by a tight margin. This is the highest grant ever in the Decentraland ecosystem.

“The passing of this proposal shows the support we have from the Decentraland community and how important Decentral Games has become as a major contributor to daily active users. These incentives will enable us to create further stability to our ecosystem ahead of rolling out our new sit-and-go poker tournament mode that we believe will bring a whole new experience to our Decentraland venues and will help us to onboard thousands of new users to the nascent metaverse.”

Matthew Howells-Barby, CMO at Decentral Games.

The CEO also shed some light on this grant and said the following:

“We’ve had conviction around Decentraland and its role in delivering an interactive 3D frontend for the open metaverse from its inception in 2017. Since then, we’ve purchased 1000+ parcels of LAND and invested millions of dollars to build engaging content to attract and retain over 60% of the platform’s users.”

“This MANA allocation is a stepping stone to assist in boosting our in-game economy as we prepare to launch ICE Poker Sit-n-Go tournaments, along with other key initiatives that drive organic demand and utility for ICE and solidify our ecosystem’s long-term sustainability. With the support of the Decentraland team and community, we look forward to onboarding the next million users into Decentraland and the nascent metaverse.”

Miles Anthony, CEO at Decentral Games
