This allows users to earn passive income off of their metaverse assets.
Decentraland classifies LAND owners as accounts or wallet addresses which own the smart contract for LAND, whether it be a Parcel, an Estate, or both.”
All LAND rentals are performed in (MANA), the native token of Decentraland and paid upfront in total. The platform gave examples of digital universities renting out land to build campuses or DJs renting space for a club or party.
Similar to most rental contracts of physical properties, Decentraland landlords can not sell the land, nor can they receive any purchasing bids for purchase until after the rental contract period is over.
Decentraland followers on Twitter suggested the same rental service should also be available for wearables. Overall the community response was positive.
