Attention Wearable Creators! Update Wearables with Utility

Do you have Wearables that offer their owners utility? Wearable utility can mean a Wearable serves as an entrance ticket to a venue or grants the owner special abilities in a Decentraland experience or game.

If you have Wearables like this, go ahead and update their properties in the Builder. Just describe what utility your Wearable grants in the Utility field and your Wearable will get a utility badge and description!
