Decentraland issued a security notice warning that a vulnerability in an old Magic Eden trading contract, Payment Processor V2, is being exploited to take NFTs from wallets that previously listed assets on Magic Eden. Decentraland's own smart contracts were not compromised — the exploit is specific to the external Magic Eden contract.
The Decentraland Foundation and @RegenesisLabs acted to identify exposed wallets on Ethereum and Polygon and move Decentraland assets out of reach:
Anyone who listed Decentraland assets on Magic Eden is advised to check their wallet with Revoke.cash's Magic Eden exploit checker and revoke Payment Processor V2 approvals on Ethereum and Polygon. Rescued assets will be returned automatically once approvals are revoked — no claim link, payment, or signature is required.
Decentraland retweeted @em_DCL's update adding new User Profiles to CritterCollect. Players can now open the Leaderboard, choose a player, and explore their backpack directly from the profile view.
The feature extends the community-built game's social and collection mechanics, letting players inspect each other's items and progression in-world. Decentraland promoted the update to its audience via an official retweet.
Decentraland retweeted @AdventureLandX's update on BattleZone (BattleZone.dcl.eth), its fighter-jet combat game playable in the Decentraland Mobile app, where players fly jets and fight other players anywhere. In 10 days since the game's launch, players logged 4,438 player kills, 5,210 drone kills, and earned 14,086 coins, per AdventureLandX, which shared the milestone with a mobile gameplay video.
The official Decentraland Discord server is currently down, with the team working with Discord to resolve it. While the outage persists, Decentraland warned users to stay vigilant of any unsolicited links and to communicate through other trusted community servers instead.
Decentraland's official account teased that 3 new games have just dropped in-world, urging players to try them and noting one "might ruin your sleep schedule." The short promo ran with sound-on teaser video and invited players to pick which to play first.
The post reads as a roundup of recent community-made releases landing on the platform; Decentraland posted the same announcement twice, once with a typo.
@Meryshark's first game, Social Quest, is now live in-world and serves as the builder's entry for the @RegenesisLabs Frienzone Buildathon in Decentraland. The creator described the launch with a "social quest is live" message and thanked fellow builders for support.
Decentraland welcomed a new in-world game, Drop Party Castle, an AFK-style balloon-blowing experience built by @DOCTORdrippNFT as the creator's entry for the Friendzone Buildathon. The game was ported over from Roblox by @em_DCL and has since received a BATTLE mode upgrade.
Decentraland is hosting Momento number #5, a new collectible drop from @MAKEANFT, live in-world until Sunday. Players can pick it up from Make's Stack in Decentraland or via a newly launched mint site.
Decentraland's community-built mushroom game Shroom Zoom is now live in-world, created by builder @CanessaDCL under the @ShroomZoomDCL brand. Players explore the magical world of Manaluna with the character Pip, hopping mushroom to mushroom around a lake to collect sprites.
The launch follows the platform's earlier tease and its continued push to surface community-made experiences. Decentraland promoted the game with a fairy-fantasy teaser inviting players to "jump mushroom to mushroom in ShroomZoomDCL."
Decentraland announced that applications are now open for Creator Success, a program that gives developers a funded path from a rough idea to a real, tested game project in-world, with more funding available as a project grows.
Announced May 24, 2021, the new DAO substituted cost-free, transparent Snapshot voting (via a multisig proxy) for the earlier Aragon-based on-chain voting scheme.
Meilich, who served as CEO and Project Lead since founding, stepped back into an advisory role at the organization in April 2020.
The platform officially released (public launch), presenting Genesis City, a map of 90,601 land parcels, alongside its first version DAO.
The project raised over $26 million (86,206 ETH) in the August 2017 ICO, funding development; digital land parcels initially sold for ~$20 and MANA at ~$0.02.
Development of the Ethereum-based virtual world began in 2015, when the founders posed the question of owning digital space.
