  Good to know. There is near zero overlap between NFT stuff and 3D virtual worlds that actually work and have users. Despite all the PR about Decentraland, few people go there. Here's the current user count, from the live servers. Total is at the lower left.[1] 1222 connected users right now. That's all. (The only trustable number is connected users right now, because that's checkable from outside.) Biggest user count I've seen is 2600, a few months back. The trend seems to be downward. Decentraland claims large numbers of monthly active users, but those numbers may be fake. If you don't connect with a wallet, you get a new identity on each login. I've been disappointed. I want to see big virtual worlds, like a bigger, better version of Second Life. We are not seeing much implementation from the NFT crowd. At best they bash something together with Unity that looks like My First Unity Game. At worst, they just sell NFT "land" and claim they'll have a 3D world someday.
