How to claim your ESTATE?

Once the auction ends, the highest bidders of each auction will receive an NFT from OpenSea. This NFT acts as a redeemable ticket, proof that you are indeed the winner of the auction.

The next step will be to send us an email at contact@sandbox.game and we will give you directions to send the NFT to The Sandbox wallet address. In return, we will mint and send the LANDS matching the ESTATE won.

What are Premium LANDS?

A Premium LAND is a single parcel of LAND that features specific characteristics, including Premium ASSETS. They will appear as Yellow LANDS on the map and are defined by two main characteristics:

  • Premium Location: Each Premium LAND is located close to either a Partner, an IP, or a TSB Estate. These locations are highly likely to attract more visitors thanks to partner visibility as well as the Transportation System and the recently introduced Portals:
  • Premium ASSETS: Premium LANDs are pre-assigned with a bundle of exclusive ASSETS to kickstart game creation. When purchasing a Premium LAND, buyers will also receive 3 premium ASSETS.

Each Premium LAND includes 1 ART, 1 ENTITY, and 1 EQUIPMENT NFT. Each ASSET will showcase a unique set of attributes, behavior, and skins, all of which have a limited scarcity.

What will come next?

The Sandbox team will be regularly announcing new waves of LAND sales with major partners and fun themes so follow us on Medium to stay up to date.

Thank you for reading and see you in the metaverse!
