The Sandbox (SAND) is a virtual world and gaming platform where players can build, own and monetise their experiences using blockchain technology. Users create games and assets with free tools, and can buy, sell and trade virtual land, called LAND, as NFTs. The project began as a mobile game in 2012 and launched its blockchain based version with the SAND token in 2020. SAND is used to buy land and items in the marketplace, to pay for services within the platform, to stake and to take part in governance decisions. The Sandbox has partnered with well known brands and artists, and is one of the best known metaverse projects.
