Should Decentraland Worlds be integrated with Places?

Introduction This is a follow-up proposal regarding “Should Decentraland Worlds be integrated with Events and Places?”. Based on the community feedback, Decentraland Foundation hosted a World AMA and proposed a vision for Genesis City and Worlds (check recordings history).

As mentioned in the AMA, the Worlds Content Server was developed as an open-source tool for Scene Preview (Heroku alternative). Decentraland Foundation is hosting an instance of such a preview server and requesting deployments to be tight to a Decentraland NAME. The Explorer supports traveling to a scene from a preview server, using a direct link, typing a chat command, or being redirected by the current scene (like a portal).

To increase the adoption and utility of Decentraland Worlds, and to encourage more content creators to publish content utilizing the Decentraland platform, an integration between Worlds with Places is proposed. The original idea of integrating Worlds with Events is out of the scope of this poll.

Proposal Places dApp will list indexed Worlds.

The Explorer will list indexed Worlds under the “Explore” menu section.

Worlds deployed to Foundation’s World Content Server might be indexed automatically. Creators will be able to opt out of this functionality.

Conclusion This poll aims to test the community sentiment and gather feedback about enabling the discoverability of published Worlds at places.decentraland.org and the Explorer.

The poll is considered a product definition and will not follow the standard Draft and Governance proposal stages, but is intended to guide the conversation about integrating Worlds into the Decentraland ecosystem.
