What do you mean by $SAND?
Welcome to another episode of Token Thursdays, where we break down popular crypto tokens and coins from the blockchain industry. In this episode, we talk about a leading metaverse token called SAND.
What is SANDBOX?
Sand is the native token of the popular Ethereum-based decentralized virtual gaming world ‘The Sandbox’. Sandbox is one of the top leading metaverses that is leading the development of decentralized web3 gaming. In Sandbox’s virtual world, players can build, own, and monetise their gaming experiences using non-fungible tokens(NFTs) and $SAND, the platform’s utility token. Players can create digital assets in the form of NFTs through their VoxEdit, develop In-game Experiences through The Sandbox Game Maker and Buy & Sell assets through their upload them to the custom Marketplace.
Interestingly the first version of The Sandbox was released as a mobile game in early 2012 as a collaboration between Pixowl (led by Sébastian Borget and Arthur Madrid) and game developer onimatrix. However, in 2018 the game developer Animoca acquired Pixowl and the company announced its intentions to create a 3D sandbox-style world by leveraging blockchain technology to take advantage of user-generated content (UGC) and token economics.
While playing the game, users can be divided into 4 main categories:
- Players
- Creators
- Curators
- Landowners
Furthermore, the game has multiple types of tokens in addition to SAND.
Key Features of SAND
- SAND is an ERC-20 token that will be used all across The Sandbox metaverse.
- It is used to facilitate various transactions & creations that are part of its gameplay.
- It is used to buy the valuable LAND NFTS & user-generated ASSETS Tokens
