The Sandbox, a leading metaverse, has reached an important milestone by publishing over 1000 user-created experiences. This achievement highlights the platform's unwavering commitment to innovation and creator support. In honor of this, The Sandbox announced a significant increase in the prize pool for the builder's contest, adding 500,000 SAND.

Since its inception, The Sandbox has aimed to make digital creativity accessible to everyone. Thanks to continuous improvements to the Game Maker tool and platform architecture, TSB has helped creators achieve unprecedented success. This is demonstrated by the distribution of over $30 million to builders through various channels since 2021. The release of the self-publishing tool during the first Creator's Day in Hong Kong was critically important, allowing creators to launch their own experiences.

The various published experiences—from adventure and racing games to complex replicas of famous cities—underscore the creative power of the community. To further stimulate this creativity, The Sandbox introduced a contest for builders. This ten-week contest rewards the most engaging experiences on TSB, based on player engagement.

With the addition of 500,000 SAND, the builder's contest offers even more attractive opportunities for creators. Now, the top ten artists in this challenge can be among the first to earn over $100,000.

The growth of The Sandbox is further supported by the active participation of over 330,000 creators using the Game Maker and VoxEdit tools. TSB continues to explore new ways to support its community, from the possibility of minting assets on Polygon to launching interactive programs such as Game Jams.
