Metarcels are a type of digital asset or virtual land parcel within a metaverse environment, often represented as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on a blockchain. They allow users to buy, sell, and develop virtual spaces for various purposes, including gaming, social interaction, and commerce. The concept of metarcels has gained popularity with the rise of virtual worlds, where users can create and monetize content. Each metarcel typically comes with distinct attributes and ownership rights, making them unique within the metaverse ecosystem.
