Reduce the price of claiming a Name to 10 mana

Abstract

This proposal aims to address and reconsider the price of "Name" within the Decentraland platform. A name need 100 mana to claim, which contradicts the initial purpose of Worlds, which was to lower the barrier to entry and encourage a broader creator community. This proposal argues that the expensive Names do not enhance the value of Worlds, and moreover, devalue the overall platform.

Introduction

Decentraland offers a unique blend of virtual real estate and content creation, providing opportunities for users to own land, create, and share content. To encourage more inclusivity and wider participation, Decentraland introduced the concept of "Worlds." Worlds were meant to allow creators to develop and share content without owning land in Genesis City. This innovative feature has the potential to invite more creators into the ecosystem, fostering community engagement and platform growth.

Problem Statement

Despite the promising prospects Worlds offer, current price make them less useful than they could be. The 100 mana ostensibly exist to preserve the value of Worlds, yet they conflict with the initial intent behind introducing Worlds.

Hypothesis

The hypothesis underlying this proposal is straightforward: it hinders the value and potential growth of the Decentraland platform as a whole.

Proposed Solution

Reduce the price of claiming a Name to 10 mana, to make world discoverable for all users over the world.

Increased User Engagement: More creators would be able to share their creations, enhancing the overall ecosystem.

Conclusion

The high price on Names neither enhance the value of Worlds nor promote the core philosophy of Decentraland, which is decentralization and open participation. reducing the price will likely result in a more engaged, dynamic, and valuable ecosystem for all stakeholders involved.
