The Sandbox is a community-driven gaming platform that will allow creators to monetize assets and gaming experiences on the blockchain. The Sandbox team is building a unique virtual world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences using SAND, the main utility token of the platform, and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). SAND holders will be also able to participate in the governance of the platform via a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), where they can exercise voting rights on key decisions of The Sandbox ecosystem.
