Project Worldwide Webland, or Weebland, is similar to The Sandbox and Decentraland in that it allows players to own land, equip NFTs, complete quests, and explore. Webland is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) and players have in-game avatars and can gain ground in the virtual world.
“The lands are an in-game space owned and controlled by the respective NFT token holder and act as an integral part of the Worldwide Web ecosystem,” explains the project website. Among the top 50 NFT projects during the past seven days, and in addition to NFT projects Psychedelics Anonymous Genesis and 420 Games Green Pass, Webland posted the third highest percentage gain in terms of sales this week.
