The Sandbox Metaverse is an online gaming platform that offers a unique and immersive gaming experience. The virtual world allows players to build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences in the Ethereum blockchain network. The Sandbox consists of three integrated products that together provide a comprehensive experience for user-generated content (UGC) production.

The Sandbox is best known for its two smash mobile hits, The Sandbox (2011) and The Sandbox Evolution (2016), which combined generated 40 million downloads across iOS and Android. The gaming platform also has a digital marketplace, which allows users to upload, publish, and sell their NFT creations.

The Sandbox uses three token types, Land, Sand and Assets, to ensure a circular economy between all the types of users who will interact with the platform. Players buy Sand in order to participate in games, while investors buy Land to populate it with games, assets and interactive experiences.

The Sandbox Brings Paris Olympics In The Metaverse

The highly anticipated Olympics 2024 event is happening this week in France. The sports event is taking place in Paris La Défense Arena, located in Nanterre, just northwest of Paris, near the La Défense business district and its Grande Arche. This most-hyped 2024 Olympic Games will not only compete in Paris but in venues around France and its territories.

The Sandbox has taken a different approach to these Olympic Games, leveraging blockchain technology to offer a parallel gaming experience. Some of the games to launch in the metaverse include boxing. The boxing competitions at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris are scheduled to run from July 27 to August 10.
