Decentraland

At Decentraland, the value of land is influenced by several aspects: the size of the site itself, its distance from the most popular points and roads. Particularly popular are NFTs, which are a group of parcels linked together.

The boom of the largest sales in this project came at the end of 2021. The most expensive were venture real estate, Genesis Plaza and real estate on Mod Street. The price of the latter was $ 2.4 million.

Somnium space

Some consider Somnium Space to be more technically advanced than Decentraland. Due to the fact that the project supports VR, which sometimes causes certain difficulties, but the developers are actively working on this. But VR is the only place where Somnium Space truly surpasses DCL.

In Somnium Space, the accessibility of roads and lakes, as well as the views of these very lakes, play the greatest role in the cost of land, although the size of the tiles is also important. The lake is so important because if you have a piece of it on the site, you can build a pier.

Unlike the previous metaverse, the biggest sales took place in the spring of 2021. They are presented below.

The Sandbox

Despite the fact that Sandbox gained quite a lot of popularity in 2021, the game has not yet had time to "grow meat": there are still only a few game mechanics available, and participation was only available to owners of the NFT alpha pass.

Since the Sandbox already contains lots of many brands and celebrities, the main value of the land is its proximity to popular locations, including those of the same brands and celebrities. More recently, players have overpaid thousands of dollars to acquire land near Snoop Dogg's mansion.

The record holders for the price are the following sections:

In Cryptovoxels, every lot has a height and length in addition to its length and width. Low-altitude plots are usually worth less than others, and far from the center, large land with access to water is valued.

Axie Infinity

So far, the land does not play any role in the gameplay of the project, but the most expensive are the lands in the center of the world, and the cheapest are the steppe outskirts. In Axie Infinity, all lots are the same size, but the type of lot in the future will affect what chips it provides for the game.

This is the second metaverse in our selection, the price of the largest purchase in which exceeded $ 2 million. Here are the 3 most expensive plots in Axie Infinity:
