Introduction

As Decentraland and the immersive social media trend continue to grow, the importance of content creators cannot be overstated. These individuals are responsible for creating the wearables and in-game items that bring our metaverse to life, let people express themselves via their looks and empower the vision of an open and decentralized creator’s economy. However, their contributions are currently not recognized in the governance of the project

Proposal:

To acknowledge the vital role of content creators in the Decentraland ecosystem, we propose that voting power (VP) be assigned to those who submit and get their collections (Wearables & Emotes) approved by the Wearables Curation Committee. The VP would be awarded as follows:

• Content creators must pay a submission fee to have their creations published in the marketplace. At the moment the fee is set at USD 150 paid in MANA.
• Once the collection is approved, the cost in MANA will be awarded to the wallet that submitted the collection.
• The amount of VP awarded will be determined by the price of the MANA at the moment of the submission (or approval, based on technical feasibility) following the existing 1 MANA = 1 VP rate.
• If the collections get rejected by the Wearables Curation Committee that VP will be subtracted from the total VP count.

Conclusion

In addition to amplifying the voice of content creators in the governance of the project, this proposal is expected to have the following benefits:

• Encourage more people to create and submit high-quality content, leading to a more diverse and vibrant metaverse.
• Create an incentive for content creators to continue contributing to the project.
• Create a way for content creators to be rewarded for their work.
