Decentraland aims to introduce its robust Desktop Client, laying the foundation for future VR and mobile versions, building on the advancements made in 2023, such as Smart Wearables, SDK 7, and Emotes 2.0. The focus for 2024 is to set the stage for upcoming developments, starting with the mobile version and Virtual Reality.

The manifesto outlines four key goals: releasing an advanced Desktop Client, simplifying the onboarding process for new users, fostering community growth, and creating engaging content. Decentraland also plans to expand language support, diversify payment methods, and enhance educational resources.

The Desktop Client is expected to support interactions among avatars with advanced locomotive capabilities and lifelike activities like swimming, climbing, and sliding. User feedback will drive continuous improvement, with the core team identifying areas for enhancement.

The alpha launch of the Desktop Client is slated for mid-2024, aiming to make the platform more accessible with a straightforward registration process and seamless virtual transactions. Plans are underway to eliminate the need for users to create a digital wallet for registration, potentially increasing user interest.

The introduction of new engaging content aims to provide a gamified experience and an enjoyable storyline for users to explore the ecosystem. A reward system linked to user engagement is also being introduced.

The Decentraland Ambassador Program is instrumental in driving community growth, with plans for local events and increased engagement both online and in-person. Despite these developments, the native token MANA has seen modest gains, reflecting a cautious market sentiment.
