There is a need for an escrow function within the marketplace where land owners can safely trade land that they have agreed to exchange elsewhere (on Discord eg)
Right now there are different ways people do land for land exchanges. Most of the time the community has shown that it trusts one another by making these transactions without escrow. Or they agree to buy from each other from the marketplace. But this relies 100% on trusting each other.
As Decentraland is becoming more popular, the temptation by others to use this trust to benefit themselves is arising and we are seeing people being scammed out of land because of the history of trust that the community has built. This becomes harmful to the community when more of this happens and negativity can compound.
