# Overview

The Decentraland Worlds Content Server is a specialized content server that enables users to deploy and manage isolated 3D scenes outside of Genesis City. Each World is a self-contained scene linked to a Decentraland NAME (ENS or DCL domain), providing a personal metaverse space accessible through the Decentraland Explorer.

#### Key Features

* **Deploy Scenes**: Upload and manage 3D scenes with full metadata and assets
* **Access Control**: Configure permissions for deployment, access, and streaming
* **Content Management**: Store and retrieve scene assets via IPFS-compatible content addressing
* **Live Data**: Real-time information about active worlds and connected users
* **Multi-user Support**: Built-in communications adapter integration (LiveKit, WebRTC)

#### Authentication

Most write operations require **Signed Fetch** authentication (ADR-44). This involves signing requests with an Ethereum wallet to prove ownership of the world's NAME. Read operations are generally public and don't require authentication.

#### Getting Started

1. Acquire a Decentraland NAME (ENS domain like `myname.eth` or DCL name like `myname.dcl.eth`)
2. Deploy your scene using the `/entities` endpoint with signed authentication
3. Configure access permissions via `/world/{world_name}/permissions` endpoints
4. Access your world using the Decentraland Client and running the chat command `/world {your-name}.dcl.eth` or (DEPRECATED) with the web client `https://play.decentraland.org/?realm={your-name}.dcl.eth`

#### Content Addressing

All content is addressed by IPFS CIDv1 hashes (e.g., `bafkreiabc123...`). Content is immutable and content-addressed, ensuring integrity and enabling efficient caching and distribution.
