What is The Sandbox?
The Sandbox was founded in 2011 and their successful launch followed in 2012. Initially setting off as a mobile gaming platform that enjoyed a large following, garnering 40 million downloads worldwide. Beginning in 2018, The Sandbox platform began a new chapter with a new gaming project with foundations built on blockchain technology.
The gaming platform is built on the revered Ethereum network the largest launchpad for crypto projects. By utilising Ethereum’s ERC-20 token standard, the project implements the advantageous aspects of the major network namely its security, transaction speed and finality as well as its ERC-721 NFT (non-fungible token) standard.
SAND is the projects native token that is used as currency in The Sandbox a community-driven platform where developers creators can monetize virtual assets and gaming experiences on the blockchain. The ecosystem supports a vast area, divided into regions that hold value comparable to virtual real estate. Lots are referred to as LAND which exist on the blockchain as NFTS are available for purchase, participants are then able to create a virtual space with monetizable engagements ranging from unique experiences, highly customisable gamification, and other artistic endeavours.
The immersive virtual spaces host an arsenal of possibilities through their dexterity which is paired with an equally impressive collection of digital assets which can be used as avatars, game props, apparatus, decor and more.The Sandbox participants that hold SAND (ERC-20) and have purchased LAND (ERC-721) will have the opportunity to attain voting rights in the metaverse governance system, utilise staking opportunities and the ability to customise virtual assets.
The Sandbox has successfully acquired partnerships with major corporations and brands from a plethora of backgrounds, including but not limited to Sportswear brand Adidas, entertainment veterans Atari, news outlet South China Morning Post and technology giants Samsung. Additionally, many artists have also paired with the protocol including Snoop Dogg, Avenged Sevenfold Deadmau5 and Richie Hawtin.
Many of parties listed above have hosted auctions for their own NFTs that are operable within The Sandbox ecosystem and economy. The Sandbox and their partners mutually benefit from this trade off as fanbases are pulled towards the platform, art and ideas are shared in return for royalties and visibility for parties on the platform.
