“The Sandbox is infinite in vision. A place where the child can use the sand, available tools and space to bring their imagination to life. Why shouldn’t this concept be a part of our adult reality?” -The Anointed Young
Another OG in the blockchain gaming metaverse that deserves recognition: The Sandbox. Since their start in 2012, they’ve become well established as a gaming network. The latest version of the Sandbox franchise was set up for success when they stepped into Web 3 in 2019. As the gets bigger and blockchain technology becomes more widely utilized, The Sandbox game is something to keep your eyes on.
The network is very familiar with a player based ecosystem. The versions of the game became popular with their user-generated content. Millions of downloads and millions of creations within the Sandbox universe… The Blockchain version gave back to the players by giving them true ownership over the things they create in the metaverse through technology and native token . It’s no wonder this Ethereum based game was voted the most anticipated Blockchain game in 2019.
The Sandbox is similar to other metaverse games, but is a universe all it’s own. A user-owned and operated gaming environment. Players can create, build and trade their assets in a decentralized manner and earn SAND throughout the gameplay experience.
Three functions of the ecosystem: A ‘Voxel Editor’ where creators can bring their ideas to life and craft virtual assets. A Marketplace where we can buy, sell, trade and give. Lastly, the game itself, where everything comes together and games are played and objects are used. Creators can make an infinite amount of unique gaming experiences as well as ASSETs, and with multilayered tech, can bring these creations across chains and platforms.
