Aggregate land caps rebounded through September on the back of a [**Decentraland**](https://oneland.world/#/main/decentraland) recovery, but have since reversed, falling for a second consecutive week, as has [Decentraland](https://oneland.world/#/main/decentraland)’s land cap for a second week since early August. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/7d3277aeb1f0091ad7aa5115a2806898b8c606f9721fadae1aa12f120b0d7585.png) Land caps of other projects were mostly up, but marginally, for the week, including [**The Sandbox**](https://oneland.world/#/main/sandbox) which at least maintained some momentum as it moves into its final weeks of AlphaS3. Total land cap of [**Otherdeeds**](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside) ended the week pretty much where it started it, up just 0.33%. It follows a one-day crash of 8.4% on Oct 7, after it had begun the month flirting with half a million ETH. There were no high-price sales this week, and in fact there has not been one [Otherdeed](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) sold for higher than 40 ETH since September. [Trading volume](https://oneland.world/#/main/otherside?selectkey=tradeAnalytics) was up for the week (+9%), as it has been for the month. Meanwhile, it was a better week for [**Arcade Land**](https://oneland.world/#/main/arcadeland), with trading volume up 211% and sales 113%. [**Voxels**](https://oneland.world/#/main/cryptovoxel) also saw a weekly climb in trading volumes, while [Voxels](https://oneland.world/#/main/cryptovoxel) and [Arcade Land](https://oneland.world/#/main/arcadeland)’s average prices recovered 56% and 45%% respectively.
