The Sandbox
Sandbox is a metaverse world where you can acquire land, design land, and develop games.
You can find out exactly what Sandbox is and what you can do in this metaverse world on this page.
What is Sandbox
The Sandbox is basically a so-called world-building game, which is similar to Minecraft and Roblox . The main focus is on the fact that you acquire land in sandbox, design it creatively and visit the land of other users.
The blockchain-based version of The Sandbox – that is, the sandbox metaverse – also has a virtual economy. You can thus create, trade, and buy items as NFTs through a game store. Within the sandbox metaverse, you can also develop your own games.
The acquisition of objects takes place in Sandbox via the currency “SAND”, which is based on the Ethereum blockchain.
