Sandbox is an Ethereum-based metaverse where players are able to create, own, and monetize their gaming experience with their native token SAND. Using intuitive tools, players can create their own worlds and benefit from them.
A little history
Back in 2012, the first version of The Sandbox was created as a mobile game by game studio Pixowl and developer Onimatrix. As the technology progressed and Pixowl was acquired by Animoca, the team announced their intentions to create a 3D world based on the mobile game by leveraging blockchain technology. This new game would thrive based on user-generated content and token economics. In August 2020, the team launched the SAND token and now the Sandbox metaverse is active and full of players.
Token breakdown
The game itself is powered by the native token SAND. SAND is used to facilitate transactions throughout the Sandbox metaverse and can be earned by playing games, completing quests, participating in contests, and more. The native token can also be staked in order to participate in governance of the Sandbox Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). Primarily, SAND is used to purchase LANDS and ASSETS.
LANDS is a non-fungible token (NFT) that represents a digital plot of real estate within the Sandbox metaverse. In the game, there will only ever be 166,464 LANDS so players can purchase and sell as they wish.
ASSETS is also a non-fungible token (NFT) that represents items in the game such as people, animals, or any creation made by the players.
How to play
In order for players to truly customize their gaming experience, there are three products or tools that they can use. Voxel Editor is where players can create 3D objects such as animals, trees, tools, etc. These creations are referred to as ASSETS and can be sold in the Sandbox marketplace–a shop for players to buy and sell ASSETS using the native token SAND.
Lastly, the Game Maker is where players can put their own twist on the gaming experience. Using the tools provided in Game Maker, players can build 3D games on their LAND using their ASSETS. These games can be monetized and used as a way for other players to earn SAND.
Pop culture and the Sandbox
As many players continue to enjoy this gaming experience, the Sandbox team works hard to incorporate many pop culture elements in its universe. The Sandbox constantly seeks new and novel experiences for its players, recently partnering with Snoop Dogg, The Walking Dead, The Smurfs, and more. In addition to celebrity experiences, brands are joining the action, too. Gucci, Warner Music Group, and Adidas all own LAND within the metaverse where they can interact with players and create digital storefronts.
What’s next for Sandbox
The more the Sandbox user base grows, the more expansive and lush its Metaverse will become. By putting the power in the hands of gamers, artists, brands and creators across the globe, new ideas are filtering in every day and the potential for creativity is limitless. What happens next is up to the network’s users, and we can’t wait to see what they create.
