How to buy virtual land in the Metaverse

After the popularity of the virtually constructed digital reality, users have begun purchasing properties in different Metaverses, like Decentraland. Investors have begun viewing these virtual lands or plots as vital assets purchased in the land's currency.

The virtual lands are sold for billions of dollars, and with the increasing popularity, the potential return on investment in the Metaverse looks promising. These lands can be put to use, like hosting parties but also can be used to earn an income by renting them out monthly or hosting NFT art galleries.

American rapper, Snoop Dogg is also hosting an exclusive members-only on The Sandbox NFT platform in his mansion on the virtual property. A crypto collector spent $450,000 to purchase a plot right next to Snoop Dogg just last week.

How to Buy Land

The first step, according to Crypto News, is to go to the Marketplace for the virtual land you want to purchase. Decentraland is the most popular for virtual plot investments. After signing up at the Decentraland Marketplace, for example, you click on 'Parcels and Estates' and then on 'View All'.

After browsing through available plots, you can select the one you wish to purchase. On Decentraland, you can see your neighboring areas and proximity to famous places, when browsing for available plots. Once the selection has been made, you can check its the price in the currency of the Metaverse and its details of the plot and its owner. You just have to click on 'Buy' to begin purchasing your first virtual plot.

To process the purchase, your wallet will need to be connected to your account. The land will be sent your wallet as an NFT once the purchase has been completed. Your wallet needs to have enough Ethereum to make the purchase.

You can confirm the purchase of your digital asset and find it in 'Collectibles' tab in MetMask wallet.
