Web3, which is often confused with the metaverse ( I tried to clarify things here ), is still a long way off, but there are projects based on blockchain technologies that are particularly interesting. Among these The Sandbox, which defines itself as a metaverse, is a digital world under construction with its own specific economy, but also a game that rewards creators of content (objects and experiences) who are willing to invest in their skills. How The Sandbox works The Sandbox is a project born from a game of the same name , in a two-dimensional pixel art style, created by Pixowl in 2012. In 2018, Animoca Brands, a Hong Kong software house, took over the company and facilitated the design of a three-dimensional world (made of volumetric pixels called voxel art), built on the Ethereum blockchain, which is released in 2020.
The product is currently in the Alpha phase, but its economy is already functioning. It currently India Mobile Number Data attracts 30,000 monthly active users , half of whom use it for more than an hour a day. As the name suggests, The Sandbox is a sandbox, a space with digital sand that can be used to build worlds. The company's goal is to create a community-driven and decentralized gaming ecosystem, a place where creators can create and monetize objects and games, using blockchain. The user can register with various methods, but needs a wallet (Venly, Bitski, Metamask) which serves as a cryptocurrency wallet to be used in transactions. At this point, after choosing and customizing his avatar, he can explore existing games and experiences (in this Alpha phase you have to wait for the company to make the so-called "seasons" available) or actively participate by doing three things: buy LAND .
LANDs are certified elements on blockchain, in particular NFT ERC-721. There are simple or premium terrains (with additional elements). Furthermore, you can buy more LAND, called ESTATE. Multiple ESTATES of different owners can form a DISTRICT (whose rules must be commonly defined). By having land it is possible to charge those who visit it or take part in the experiences designed on it, rent it to a "game creator" or sell it; create ASSET . ASSETs are usable items in The Sandbox, such as buildings, clothes, objects. They can be created using the free VoxEdit tool. Then they are "minted" on the blockchain (they become NFT ERC-1155) and put up for sale on The Sandbox Marketplace. The asset that is created can have particular characteristics described in two types of ERC-20 tokens: CATALYSTS and GEMS . The catalyst defines the level and rarity of an asset.
