SAND is a native token of The blockchain game The Sandbox, which builds a meta-universe on The Ethereum blockchain where players can use platform token SAND to create, own and profit from their in-game characters on The Ethereum blockchain. Here you can create, collect, earn, and own anything in the game, customizing it as you wish. The gameplay is similar to Minecraft, the best-selling open game of all time.

The Sandbox aims to bring blockchain to The mainstream gaming world by attracting crypto and non-crypto enthusiasts with The benefits of true ownership, digital scarcity, profitability and interoperability that blockchain technology brings. Players can use platform token SAND to create, own and profit from their own gaming experience in the Ethereum blockchain. Here you can play, create, collect, earn, govern, and own everything in the game.

Currently, sandbox has three core solutions: VoxEdit: a free 3D voxel modeling package that allows users to easily design and create assets and export them to the market for sale at a profit or to game makers for use in the game itself. Exchange Marketplace: A web-based marketplace (currently in beta) where users can upload, publish, and trade ASSETs as TOKENS of ERC-721 or ERC-1155. Game Maker: Game Maker is software for playing games, available for Windows in alpha and coming soon for The Mac. You can join someone else's game, or you can design your own world by placing and using your assets on a piece of land. Game makers are also used to customize LAND, create custom games, and modify game mechanics.

In a decentralized manner, LAND NFT, together with ERC20 SAND tokens, adopts the ERC1155 standard to create assets. ASSETS are the second type of NFT in the Sandbox ecosystem; The team used this unique NFT standard to solve the problem of content creators not receiving their share of the revenue they generate directly. Instead of pouring hours of time and energy into the game to find indirect ways to benefit, the Sandbox team provided a framework to create these assets, as well as a market to provide currency directly to consumers.

1. Access: Unless the creators give their games away for free, players must use SAND to purchase them and gain access to the virtual world meta-universe. 2. Medium of exchange: Creators, players and artists use SAND to buy and rent land and to buy and sell assets in the market. 3. Mortgage: SAND can be used to generate passive income and can earn additional rewards by owning LAND. As mentioned earlier, this is the only way to get Catalyst catalysts and gems to create valuable assets. 4. Governance: SAND also has governance token functionality, which means that holders can use their tokens to vote, or delegate voting rights to other players to decide important matters regarding the sandbox ecosystem.

With a unique distributed and user-centric approach, The Sandbox offers more functionality to artists. Anyone can make, import, animate, and convert their own 3D voxel objects to NFT. The Sandbox built a decentralized virtual world game around NFT, allowing players to purchase land and assets in The ecosystem with SAND coins. The Sandbox platform introduced decentralized technology into The game world, and took advantage of digital scarcity to improve interoperability while ensuring The security of The game. Promote true ownership of assets.

The meta boundary of The Sandbox consists of 166,464 lands. Landowners can hold contests and events, earn and create assets with SAND, tokenize assets and experiences, and vote in metadogon management and participate in decisions on platform upgrades. The platform offers both platformer games and user-created games.

After successfully completing an initial exchange offering (IEO) with a $3 million fundraising in August 2020, SAND's price remained relatively stable until this year. However, since January 1, 2021, SAND has started a bull market, with its price surging from $0.037 to $0.48, implying a return of nearly 1,200% year-to-date (YTD). Overall, the historical ROI of native cryptocurrencies for blockchain gaming projects is 648%, which is a good performance, especially since SAND achieved such a high return in less than a year.
