Updated Genesis Plaza

Wait… that wasn’t there before.

Genesis Plaza got a refresh. There’s a huge clock at the center and if you hang around long enough, you’ll hear a bell ring out across the space.

People are already running around trying to figure out what’s new, what moved, what’s hiding.

It’s time to jump back in and see what secrets you can find. 👀

OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU IN DECENTRALAND

Grants — One Week Left

Applications for Regenesis Grants Program Season 1 close April 24.

This is the first grants program since 2024. Smaller scope, faster timelines, focused on projects that ship.

Two areas this round:

• Mobile-first experiences — built for short sessions, repeat play, and real usage
• AI-powered tools — anything that helps creators build faster and better

Up to $15,000 USD (in MANA), milestone-based payouts, 90-day delivery.

All work is open source.

If your idea is ready, now’s the time to ship it.

Decentraland is where people show up to spend time together—small games, shared moments, or something unexpected that comes alive when others join in.

The Decentraland Open Calls are about the ideas that create those special moments.

Streamers — Host a Watch Party

Bring your audience into the experience.

Decentraland is looking for streamers to host live sessions where your community joins you in-world while you stream.

Who this is for:

• Streamers on Twitch, YouTube, or Kick
• Creators who show up consistently and have an active audience
• Hosts comfortable leading a live moment

What you’ll do:

• Go live from inside Decentraland
• Bring your audience into the same space
• Explore, react, and build moments around what’s happening

If your chat’s ever said “I wish I could be there,” this is where that actually happens. Applications close April 26.

Builders — Turn It Up

Submissions are now closed. The team is reviewing the applications and selections will be announced next week.

Builders — Remix

More details coming soon. If you’ve been thinking about building something interactive, social, or a little experimental—this is your heads up.

Keep an eye out for the announcements.

Come back Tuesday night.

Every Tuesday at 8pm UTC, Takeover Tuesdays brings a different Twitch streamer to the Theatre stage. Full live set, in-world effects, the crowd in the same moment as their Twitch audience.

April 21 features vioLit —a hard Dance DJ, vocalist and rising Twitch streamer from Vancouver, Canada, making her Decentraland debut. Lights, visuals, real people in the room reacting together.
