Sandbox seems to be a living, breathing virtual environment full of user-made creations. VoxEdit and Game Maker allow players to create their own NFTs, such as avatars, virtual items, and even games. They can exchange virtual things for money on the Sandbox Marketplace as well as use them to engage with other players. Sandbox tracks ownership of NFT commodities and LAND on its platform using Ethereum. By storing tokens in Ethereum wallets, users can deepen their connection to the ecosystem. A variety of technologies can be employed by developers to create assets for a blockchain-based game.

The Sand (SAND) is the utility token of The Sandbox, a blockchain-based virtual world where users can create, own, and monetize gaming experiences. Built on the Ethereum blockchain (with plans for Polygon integration), SAND is an ERC-20 token that powers transactions, governance, and interactions within the metaverse. Players use SAND to purchase virtual land (NFTs), assets, and avatar upgrades, while creators earn SAND by designing and selling digital items. The token also enables staking, allowing holders to earn rewards by participating in the ecosystem. Additionally, SAND serves as a governance token, giving users voting rights on platform decisions via a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). By combining play-to-earn mechanics, NFTs, and decentralized governance, SAND fuels a thriving digital economy in The Sandbox.
