Metaverse is the music of the future for many people and companies. Decentraland is a virtual world that is currently valued at about $1.3 billion, invested in it by a number of investors who believe that once its gates open, thousands, hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of users will flock to it. to that. However, as is sometimes the case, the reality is ultimately different from what the seers imagine. Instead of full streets, according to CoinDesk magazine, there are actually only 38 really active players in this space, with a rare addition of less active users, of which there are about 657 in the gaming world at its strongest moments. And when compared to how she behaves , for example, in GTA Online, these are just ridiculous values.
There has been a lot of misinformation lately about the number of active Decentraland users. Some websites only track certain smart contract transactions but report them as daily active users per day, which is inaccurate.

Of course, the creators of the metaverse world are defensive and try to deny that their world is a dead place where only a handful have survived. According to them, they have up to 7,000 users per day, as evidenced by the list of active users mentioned above for the month of September, which, according to them, is up to 56,697 people. According to the company, the fault of the DappRadar server that measured the activity was that it did not measure activity outside the blockchain ecosystem on which Decentraland is more or less based, and therefore could not reach all users.
However, due to the large investment in Decentraland, even 7,000 users is relatively small. If it were an indie project, it would certainly be welcome, but when it’s a billion dollar venture, it’s more of an unflattering calling card for the metaverse than something that will make you jump in and buy millions of dollars of virtual real estate.
