## What is LAND?

LAND is a non-fungible digital asset maintained in an Ethereum smart contract. LAND is divided into parcels that are referenced using unique x,y cartesian coordinates. Each LAND token includes a record of its coordinates, its owner, and a reference to a content description file or <a href="https://github.com/decentraland/proposals/blob/master/dsp/0020.mediawiki">parcel manifest</a> that describes and encodes the content the owner wishes to serve on his or her land.

## How is content distributed?

The visual, audio and three dimensional content of Decentraland will be stored in a network of content servers. Anyone can submit a server to join this network, but it must be voted on by the community. This is handled by a <a href="https://dao.decentraland.org/en/">Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)</a>. When you visit Decentraland, the content needed to render your location will be pulled from the content servers. Each LAND token, stored on the Ethereum blockchain, is associated with an x,y location within the world and links to the content for that location.

## What tools should I use to start building in Decentraland?

There are two ways to create 3D content for Decentraland:

- The <a href="https://builder.decentraland.org/">Builder</a> is an easy drag and drop visual tool. You have access to a large library of pre-made items, including interactive items that react to player feedback. You can also import and use your own custom 3D models.

- The <a href="https://docs.decentraland.org/getting-started/installation-guide/">SDK</a> is for creating scenes writing code, which gives you much more power and flexibility.

Both tools can also be combined. You can create a scene visually with the Builder, then export it and work with its code to add interactive functionality. You can also use the SDK to create <a href="https://docs.decentraland.org/development-guide/smart-items/">custom smart items</a> and place these using the Builder.
