What Is Sandbox?

The gaming industry has recently shifted gears. It has begun to invest resources in projects that make use of blockchain technology. As a result, we’ve seen a shift from a pay-to-play to a play-to-earn model. Metaverse technology is used in these play-to-earn games.

One such game is The Sandbox, whose first iteration was released as a mobile game in 2012. It was a collaborative effort by Pixowl and game developer Onimatrix. The Pixowl team was led by Sébastian Borget and Arthur Madrid.

What is Sandbox?

Sandbox is an Ethereum-based play-to-earn game which combines blockchain, DeFi, and NFTs in a 3D metaverse. The game has made blockchain mainstream in the gaming industry. It offers features like true ownership, digital scarcity, monetization, and interoperability across games. The Sandbox has been attracting both crypto and non-crypto game enthusiasts.

Within the metaverse game, a token called Land represents virtual lands. Players can build, own, and monetise their gaming experiences. Also, these experiences are built on LAND and converted into Non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

These NFTs can be sold on the Sandbox Marketplace in exchange for SAND tokens. The economy of Sandbox’s metaverse consists of creators and players, with the players having the ownership of the economy.

How Does Sandbox Work?

The SAND token is the native token of the platform which is used as a medium of exchange for buying games, LANDs, GEMs etc. It can also be used for staking and earning rewards on the platform.

The Sandbox is one of the many new entrants in the world of cryptocurrency and is attracting new participants and investors every day.
