We open up today's podcast with a speech from Steve Jobs from 1996 when he returns to Apple. He discusses the core values of Apple as well as the passion they have in the things they build. In our daily interactions we recognize there is a passion within the Decentraland community that fuels the creativity and development. This passion is what has fueled 1 million MANA in revenue through MetaZone all by creators. This is accomplished through only 20 creators where Metas are deployed at over 100 LANDs. The ability to accomplish something like this comes from the fact that Decentraland is an open market where anything can be built and the ones that survive are the ones who find a product market fit. Finally, we believe proof of work NFTs will end up being the most valuable NFTs.
Topics:
- First up, we go over why the barrier to build in Decentraland is so high.
- Next, creators have generated 1 million MANA though MetaZone so far.
- Then, Decentraland is an open market of anything and what that means.
- Finally, The killer app in Decentraland will be proof of work NFTs

We also recognize the thought process someone goes through when experiencing Decentraland for the first time as well as CryptoVoxels. Finally, with the help of HPrivakos, we get a peek behind the curtain as to why and how Decentraland works as a decentralized platform.

Decentraland Roundtable 6 is back with a larger group for a larger discussion. We get into it with some of the biggest contributors in Decentraland to discuss the idea of an open market for wearables. Does restricting the supply early on make sense to minimize the explosion of wearables? Will an open market render the existing supply valueless? We all agree that we have to limit nefarious content from showing up in the world so we discuss a few methods on how to do that. The real question is if you can limit one piece of content you could limit any piece of content. What's the most agreeable method to reasonably censor negative content? We then pick apart how decentralized is Decentraland when it comes to DMCA take downs and other possibilities of outside censorship. Finally, we discuss the flexible capabilities of being in the metaverse including a better way to experience a conference!
Topics:
- First up, should wearables be an open market?
- Next, How nefarious content should be handled
- Then, how decentralized is @Decentraland
- Finally, How should events look in the metaverse?

We gather for another roundtable number four. The usual suspects return as we debrief from our previous discussion of the LAO. A way to govern the DAO funds in Decentraland is one of the more polarizing discussions to have. Sustainability seems to be the most intuitive way to govern the funds but a for profit DAO does come with consequences. In another discussion point, how do you determine the best metaverse? Who becomes liable when a deployment is considered detrimental to society? Who has the responsibility to throttle content? Finally, we discuss what Decentraland should be prioritizing in the short term.
Topics:
- First up, we debrief on the value of the LAO.
- Next, What is the best metaverse?
- Then, Where's the liability when deploying nefarious content?
- Finally, What should @decentraland prioritize in the short term

The LAO will launch on April 28, 2020. https://www.thelao.io/
Twitter: @TheLAOOfficial @pridesai
We just recently discovered the LAO in our quest to govern DAO funds currently in Decentraland. In today's discussion with bring in Pri Desai from Openlaw.io to speak with us about their upcoming launch of the LAO which is a member directed venture capital crowd fund for accredited investors. In this fund anyone can propose their project and allow 100 members of the LAO to vote to fund your project. We open the discussion with the relationship between OpenLaw and the LAO and the inspiration for the LAO. Our discussion includes how a blockchain community can improve with a for profit venture backing it. One of our main attractions to the LAO is that it provides a mechanism for sustainable growth of a pool of funds.
Topics:
- First up, How does OpenLaw relate to theLAO?
- Next, How a for-profit venture creates a better blockchain community
- Then, Can Decentraland take the LAO mechanisms to manage a fund?
- Finally, How a member-directed VC compares to a traditional VC?

In the 3rd installment of the Decentraland Roundtable, we bring new faces into the discussion inlcuding Baus from Decentral Games and Daniel from PolygonalMind. In today's roundtable our topic around the social features of Decentraland are being improved and how this will help retain new players. We brainstorm ways to improve that retention and what the collective community can do to help. Another important topic is whether or not to make wearable creation a free market minting process or one where you apply for a whitelist. Many other metaverses allow for a seamless onboarding process whereas Decentraland requires you to have a metamask. Is eliminating the wallet requirement good enough to bring in more people? With new voices in today's discussion, the DAO still has many ways it could be implemented. We discuss a few ways we can align the growth of Decentraland with the voters that influence the direction of the metaverse.
Topics:
- First up, How can Decentraland plug their leaky bucket?
- Next, a free market of wearables or a whitelist?
- Then, How can we improve onbaording players into DCL?
- Finally, What DAO structure makes sense?

In today's very special podcast, we gathered the most influential community members in Decentraland to discuss some of the most important topics that the community has. Since Decentraland is on its way to being completely decentralized, community members are going to have to step and point the direction the metaverse should head towards. One of the more important subjects is improving Decentraland's secret weapon, the SDK. Another important subject is discussing the details of the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) and what's the best way to interact with it. One topic that gets discussed often is how the DAO will handle wearables and if anyone in the community can make them. Please watch or listen as the community begins to steer the ship on the direction of the metaverse.
