We are proud to announce our collaboration with Ethermon to bring Digital Pets into Decentraland! In this collaboration we help the Ethermon team distribute their digital pet game to various landowners. Each landowner will be able to sell Ethermon as well We started this journey with just a podcast that evolved into a tool for the Decentraland community that allows creators to fund their own development. Each user generated creation is on its way to becoming an NFT and on that path we’ve generated over 2 million mana. That means over 1.4 million mana directly in the hands of the creators. With that level of creative resources we expect to see more development into Decentraland which will bring us closer to a well populated metaverse.

We interview Riorio from DCLPlazas.com, the leading provider of information, news, highlights, and so much more content describing whats going on in the metaverse. Rio is one of the original community members in Decentraland, giving him an extremely valuable perspective on the progression of the platform. The idea of an open decentralized metaverse is what initially attracted him to the space, and ever since then his mission has been to cover this evolution through the media platform he has created. Now dclplazas.com is expanding to cover additional blockchain based virtual worlds such as Somnium Space and Cryptovoxels.

We interview Kay from SugarClub, one of the most popular locations in Decentraland. Kay become one of the most successful creators on the MetaZone platform with over 40,000 in mana sales. We discuss what strategy did he use to achieve those sales numbers in 15 days, and what advice he could give to other creators. In our conversation, we get the origin story for SugarClub and how he sees DCL evolving on a weekly basis. We receive feedback from the creators point of view of how we should improve MetaZone for current and future creators.

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.

We have returning faces as well as new ones on this week's roundtable discussions. New at the roundtable is OpenNFT and HPrivakos. We gather to debrief on this week's events in Decentraland and first up is the Business Conference hosted by DCLcore by Matty from DCLBlogger.com. There were 4 total presenters including MetaZone to discuss their buisness as it related to Decentraland. We pose the question on what kind of audience is Decentraland really focused on when it comes to building out the metaverse. 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.
