Many new IVWPs are being developed around different technical premises, too. At the end of 2021, even the largest of the blockchain-based IVWPs, which includes Decentraland, The Sandbox, Cryptovoxels, Somnium Space, and Upland, had less than 1% of Roblox’s and Minecraft’s daily active users. However, these platforms believe that by allowing users more ownership over their in-world items, as well as a say in how the platform is governed, and a right to share in its profitability, they will be able to grow far more quickly than traditional IVWPs (more on this theory in Chapter 11).
