One of the issues we have been talking about most recently is the new technology called metaverse. This technology, which promises to establish a “real” world in the virtual environment, is the digital equivalent of the real world for some, but for some it is one of the most unnecessary inventions in history. Some names like Mark Zuckerberg rely on metaverse technologies and even spend billions of dollars.
Now, a strange thing has happened regarding this issue. DappRadar, known as an application store that brings together decentralized exchanges, cryptocurrencies, NFTs and blockchain technologies, made a statement about the metaverse world called Decentraland, where the cryptocurrency called MANA is used. According to DappRadar’s statement, the number of daily users of the virtual world of MANA, which has a valuation of $ 1.2 billion, is only 30.
Funny refutation from Decentraland!
Feeling obliged to make a statement after DappRadar’s statements were on the agenda, the Decentraland team shared a statement on its official website. Mentioning that the claim of 30 daily users does not reflect the truth, the developers announced that the daily number of users of the platform is around 8,000. The interesting thing is that the official statement made even more strange after that.
According to Decentraland, the number of users in September was 56,697.
In the statement made, the number of users who entered the platform and spent time in September 2022 was 56,697. However, there was something strange here, too. When we divided 56,697 by 30 and reached the number of daily users, we were faced with a result of 1,866. Aware that people will do this simple calculation, Decentraland also explained why such a strange thing happened.
Re-entries were also included in the 8,000 description. The platform has 1,866 unique users per day.
According to platform executives, the Decentraland community consisted of people who logged in repeatedly throughout the day. In other words, a user logged in and out many times during the day, which caused the number of active users to be 8,000. According to Decentraland, which accepts that the number of unique users is not 8,000, the actual daily number of users of the platform was 1,866, as we have just stated…
The fact that MANA, which has a valuation of $ 1.2 billion, is visited by 1,866 people per day, confuses the future of the metaverse. Because Decentraland is one of the largest virtual worlds in this ecosystem, and the fact that this platform is used by so few people is a clear indication that metaverse ecosystems are not attracting attention. Will this change in the coming years? No one knows the answer to this question…
