Reasons for adding

Name: Marroz

Professional Background & Expertise

I’m one of the original founders of Decentraland and co-author of the whitepaper. I think I bring a unique combination of technical knowledge, strategic vision, and deep understanding of our ecosystem.

I also have extensive experience in blockchain technology and open-source community building (bitcore, OpenZeppelin).

Cover Letter with my vision for Decentraland’s Future

Dear DAO Members,

I helped create the first Decentraland prototypes between 2015-2017 and was involved in naming the project. I helped define the original vision: a decentralized & open virtual reality world. Looking back, I’m proud to say we’ve achieved that initial vision, and I think becoming the de-facto standard for an open metaverse is next.

To achieve this goal, I propose three main areas of improvement: accessibility (introducing private lands and continuous LAND issuance), developer-friendliness (better documentation and an ecosystem development fund), and coziness (improved building tools and social interactions).

I believe making the platform more accessible to younger users, easier for developers to build upon, and more comfortable for long-term social interaction is crucial for Decentraland’s survival and success against big tech competitors in the metaverse space.

For a more in-depth read on my vision, see my blog post:

Understanding of Decentraland’s Ecosystem

I think I possess pretty good understanding of Decentraland’s history, tech, community, and market position.
I’ve watched and participated in our evolution from a concept to a leading metaverse platform.

Commitment to DAO & Council

  • Dedicating time to Council responsibilities.
  • Maintaining regular communication with the community.
  • Leveraging my network and experience to advance Decentraland’s interests.
  • Making decisions that prioritize long-term sustainable growth over short-term gains.

Additional Relevant Experience

  • Led multiple successful blockchain projects
  • I have experience in strategic planning and project management
  • Strong background in both technical development and business strategy
