The 2025 Manifesto is Live 🚀
What to Expect in Decentraland 2025
The 2025 Manifesto highlights four key focus areas that will shape the future of Decentraland and empower the community to thrive. In 2025, the Foundation will invest in initiatives that reward engagement, empower creators, stimulate the economy, and expand its community—building unstoppable momentum toward long-term self-sustainability.
1. Decentraland Rewards Programs💰
The Foundation is trialing reward systems designed to fuel content creation and amplify engagement. Creators and active contributors will be recognized and rewarded for their efforts to bring our virtual world to life. Expect initiatives that motivate creators to keep building incredible experiences and reward community members for participating in the world around them.
2. An Engaging Event Schedule 📆
Events will take center stage in 2025! With a focus on meeting new friends, having fun, and living your best life as your DCL avatar, this year’s event schedule will experiment with new concepts, revive underused LAND, and showcase Decentraland’s unique open-world ecosystem. Save the dates for this year’s new and returning events and contact the Foundation Partnerships team through this form if you’d like to get involved!
3. Technical Progress and Feature Enhancements 🛠
Vital in maintaining the momentum of Decentraland’s flywheel, the Foundation’s commitment to continued technical progress will drive the Product & Engineering Team’s efforts in 2025. This year will focus on addressing community feedback, fixing key issues, refining the DCL 2.0 client, and expanding platform features to make Decentraland more social, accessible, and engaging.
4. Community Growth 🫶
The community is at the core of Decentraland’s success, and in 2025, the Foundation is expanding its reach. Already in the works: ramping up marketing and community growth initiatives by leveraging Decentraland’s true identity as a social virtual world, investing in marketing through new user acquisition campaigns, and broadening platform availability and publishing on popular game distribution platforms.
2025 is our moment to amplify everything that makes Decentraland extraordinary. Fueled by creativity, collaboration, and genuine social connection, let’s work together to propel the flywheel of Decentraland’s long-term success, shaping a vibrant, self-sustaining social virtual world that reflects the vision and energy of its community.
