What is The Sandbox?

Sandbox (SAND) — a virtual metaverse, where players can play, create, own and monetize their virtual experience. The game empowers artists, creators and players to create the platform they have always envisioned by providing them with the means to unleash their creativity.

About the Sandbox (SAND) project

Sandbox combines the power of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to create a decentralized platform for a thriving gaming community. Launched in 2011 by Pixowl, it is a blockchain-based virtual world that allows users to create, build, buy and sell digital assets in the form of a game. The main actors are:

  • Arthur Madrid, CEO of Pixowl. Economist, worked as a consultant for Eurogroup Consulting France before becoming an entrepreneur;
  • Sebastian Borge, COO Pixowl. Telecommunications specialist. He started his career as a project manager at 1-Click Media Artur Madrid. He has managed to work with Activision and Universal Music.

Sandbox positions itself as a platform for the creation and monetization of gaming experiences, where participants create their games and entire virtual worlds, while the creators have ownership of their creations.

Attractiveness of the project for users

Referring to a Whitepaper, the main mission of the Sandbox platform - to implement blockchain technology in mainstream games successfully. The platform focuses on promoting a creative "play to earn" model that allows users to be both creators and players at the same time. Decentralized management allows users to share their views and ideas about the development of the project.

Key features:

Platform Sandbox is unique because it brings blockchain technology to the gaming world
Economy the project uses the possibilities of blockchain technology by introducing the utility token SAND

The launch of the company made a splash in the community and attracted support and investment from many well-known players in the gaming industry. These include brands such as:

  • Atari
  • Helix
  • CryptoKitties

To start playing Sandbox, just go to the official website of the project and connect your Metamask wallet to the website. The game does not have the usual "account" and registration, because it is built on blockchain technology and all actions are recorded in it./p>

Safety

The Sandbox virtual world is built on the Ethereum blockchain and secured by a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. The SAND token - an ERC-20 standard version token, which means that holders can stake and receive rewards.

Unlike the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, used on the Bitcoin blockchain, PoS does not require large amounts of electricity or processing power to validate transaction.
