Before we embark on how to buy land in the Metaverse, we pose the question of what is land in the Metaverse? One of the digital assets that people can buy and sell in the Metaverse is real estate. In simpler words, a Metaverse land is a digital real estate that can be bought, owned or exchanged within the Metaverse. It can be purchased using cryptocurrencies.
So how does it work? Metaverse lands exist in the form of non-fungible tokens(NFT). This means it is easy to prove their authenticity and ownership. Once purchased, the land offers a 3D virtual experience for the owner and visitors. Aside from that, the owner can construct a building on the land and use the building to display their digital art or use it for gaming, even, rent it out for events, housing or branded content. Others have created opportunities on their land, such as casinos and gaming, that provide users with fun and excitement while giving investors a decent return on investment (ROI).
Here is a brief, step-by-step guide on how to buy land in the Metaverse:
1. Select a Metaverse platform.
Choosing the right platform for your land in the Metaverse is a big decision that greatly affects the success of your investment. Each platform offers its own guidelines on how to buy land in the Metaverse, so it is important to review them before deciding. The most popular Metaverse, among others, where you can buy land are: Decentraland (built on the Ethereum blockchain), The Sandbox (has the largest number of plots of all platforms), Axie Infinity (role-playing game and a trading platform that allows players to develop their own Axies, which are digital creatures based on blockchain technology), etc....
2. Create your cryptocurrency wallet or NFT.
You will need to have a wallet where you can access your cryptocurrencies. There are many wallets available, such as Venly, Bitski, Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, etc... It is important to make sure to check compatibility with the Metaverse platform you would like to use before making a decision.
Be sure to protect your password and recovery phrase, regardless of the wallet you use. This will help keep your funds safe at all times.
3. Link your wallet to the metaverse.
Each Metaverso platform has its own registration process. You will first create an account and then link your wallet.
4. Buy cryptocurrencies through exchange platforms and transfer it to your cryptocurrency wallet.
Obviously, each Metaverse has its own native currency and you can buy cryptocurrencies on exchanges such as, for example, Coinbase, Kraken, Binance... Using your account on your chosen exchange, you can use a credit or debit card to buy the relevant cryptocurrency and transfer it to your wallet.
5. Selecting your first piece of digital real estate
Finally! You are all set to buy your plot of land. The NFT you purchase contains coordinates of the area you control and shows where it is located on the Metaverse map. Once the transaction is confirmed, you will be able to see the NFT in your digital wallet and you will be registered as the new owner.
Becoming a Metaverse land owner can be a great investment by engaging in activities such as providing products or services virtually in the Metaverse, selling your land for profit or renting it out for income.
