Some players have some fancy outfits, and you’re probably wondering where do I get them?
The Avatar editor provides a big selection of wearables and accessories – all for free. However, you can also buy exclusive wearables in the Decentraland Marketplace or earn them by participating in different events.
You can purchase headpiece items, upper body, lower body, feet, accessories or skins! The choice is up to you.
Items in the Marketplace are priced in Mana, to learn how to load up your digital wallet to go shopping head over to Getting from SGD to MANA token below to learn more.
In Decentraland, every item is a NFT. And transferring NFTs require gas fees, just like how driving a car requires fuel. DCL was built on Ethereum, the largest and most reliable Smart Contract Platform. But that presented challenges for users with expensive gas fees. A transaction to purchase an item could cost upwards of US$10-50.
In 2021, Decentraland added a revolutionary layer-2 solution that allowed for users to be able to do micro-transactions within minimal to no-gas fees. This was done by introducing another chain known as Polygon.

To benefit from transacting with cheaper gas fees, a user needs to configure MetaMask, which is like a general wallet, for Polygon.
Once you’re done, you will need to swap over your MANA from Ethereum to Polygon.
