Decentraland is a decentralized metaverse (virtual world). This metaverse operates on the platform of the Ethereum blockchain and was created to support the creation, development, hosting and sale of virtual property. Virtual worlds that provide this feature, lead users to a fascinating digital world where they can buy, sell, and build anything they can think of. Decentraland also provides its users with the possibility to purchase virtual property. Users of this metaverse can develop their property as an online and virtual business and a source of income. They can create different buildings and attractions in their virtual land and earn money through them. In addition, users also get good profits by selling their built properties.

Decentraland platform is supported by MANA which is an ERC-20 token that serves as the system's primary currency. Members of the Decentraland community can purchase virtual parcels of the VR platform with MANA. The entire virtual reality ecosystem, which has no central authority, is run and governed by users of Decentraland. The world serves as an alternative VR ecosystem where users can buy and sell virtual goods and real estate, play games, and do whatever they want with their land as long as the network's features permit it. Users are able to interact, manage, monetize, and develop the Decentraland metaverse, which simulates reality in a virtual setting.

MANA is the symbol and the main in-game currency of Decentraland. It is an ERC-20 token that lets users purchase, trade or develop virtual lands in a decentralized manner.

Estonia was among the first countries that legalized cryptocurrency and related economic activities. It was in November 2017 when a law was introduced that accepted cryptocurrency as a payment method to keep up with the development of technology. Therefore, activities such as mining, crypto investment, adding cryptocurrency to a company balance sheet, and even establishing a cryptocurrency exchange or wallet are allowed in this country.

According to the Estonia Tax and Customs Board, cryptocurrency trading contains taxes in Estonia. People who buy cryptocurrency should pay tax in case of trading, converting to fiat, or paying the crypto to purchase something. They should declare all the transactions they have with cryptocurrency because the income from mining or trading any crypto is considered the business income of a person, which is included in the tax rules in Estonia.

The tax report should be declared once a year in March. Generally, if you keep the cryptocurrency as an investment and don’t do anything to it, you won’t need to pay taxes. For example, if you have kept the coins in a wallet for the whole year, you won’t need to mention it in your tax report.  Only the profit you gain from selling or trading crypto is taxed. However, if you sell crypto at a lower price than you bought, you won’t need to pay tax for it. Only the profits from selling crypto are reported. Therefore, even if cryptocurrency assets are not tangible assets like a car or a house, that doesn’t bother tax authorities. The tax rate is 20% in Estonia.

Decentraland (MANA) token holders are important members of the Decentraland platform; Because they are known as part of the network governance (DAO) in each region. Using MANA tokens, they can vote on issues affecting these regions. The total amount of mana tokens held by each member determines the weight of his vote.

MANA tokens are the power behind this platform. In fact, everything on this platform gets its power and value from this token. In addition to its governance use in this game, MANA can also be used to buy LAND or any number of other virtual assets and services in Decentraland.

Anyone can buy cryptocurrency in Estonia. Since cryptocurrency is taxed in Estonia, buying it requires you to prepare a couple of things including a passport or a national ID, a mobile phone to verify your identity, a bank account to make fiat currency deposits, and a crypto wallet to store your assets. However, that may depend on the exchange you use. Exchanges in Estonia ask you to verify your identity and address as part of the Know Your Customer (KYC) process. You can buy cryptocurrency anonymously too, but you should use other exchanges that might not be as user-friendly or secure as the ones that have been verified legally.
