In this episode of The Crypto Mavericks podcast, we sit down with Yemel Jardi, Co-founder and Executive Director of Decentraland—the first decentralized virtual world.

Yemel unpacks the original vision behind Decentraland, the challenges of launching a fully decentralized metaverse, and how the platform’s mission has evolved since its debut. He explains what sets Decentraland apart from other virtual worlds, especially when it comes to decentralization, community ownership, and open infrastructure.

We dive into the role of the DAO in governing the platform, explore unexpected use cases from the community, and talk about how the land economy and builder tools are evolving. Yemel also reflects on partnerships with major brands, and shares how Decentraland is onboarding new users into Web3.

Looking ahead, he offers a glimpse into what’s coming in 2025 and beyond—and how Decentraland is shaping the future of digital culture and social interaction in the metaverse.
