The Sandbox is a game that can be played in the Metaverse.
Metaverse is a virtual space created on the Internet, in which games and towns can be created and enjoyed.
In particular, the feature of The Sandbox is that it expresses people, things, towns, etc. by combining square blocks.
In addition, The Sandbox is a game that utilizes blockchain (*1) technology, and is also characterized by being difficult to tamper with (*2).
(*1) Blockchain is a technology that distributes and processes transaction records across multiple computers using cryptographic technology, but ultimately connects them and maintains them accurately.
(*2) Tamper with is the act of arbitrarily modifying data for the purpose of gaining unfair profit by a malicious third party.
The currency used in The Sandbox (such as SAND), assets such as avatars, land, etc. are all secured using blockchain technology to ensure the reliability.
Finally, you will need to create an account to play The Sandbox.
