Should the DAO lease the LANDs they own to grantees that might need them?

This initiative proposes a method to put Decentraland DAO's unused LANDs to work. A few months ago the DAO passed a proposal requesting the Committee to buy LANDs in Genesis City. At the moment the DAO owns +70 plots of LAND that are not being put to good use. We aim to offer these LANDs rent-free to creators who seek grants for developing engaging in-world experiences in Decentraland, enhancing the vibrancy and attraction of our virtual world.

Key Points:

• LAND Leasing as an Opportunity: Grant applicants can request a free, temporary lease of DAO-owned LANDs to bring their projects to life in Decentraland when requesting a Grant. This approach addresses the issue of unused LANDs, encouraging productive and engaging use.

• Short-Term Leasing: These LANDs are offered for a maximum period of six months, encouraging focused development efforts. After those 6 months, the LAND will be returned and the Grantee would have to either pay rent to the DAO or find another spot to deploy their experiences.

Goals:

• Revitalize unused LAND with new attractions and experiences.
• Enable creators with limited resources to participate in Decentraland's growth.
• Ensure a diverse, ever-evolving landscape within our virtual environment.
