The Sandbox bought the Bored Ape #3749 “The Captain” for 740 ETH
The Sandbox is a global community supporting virtual artists and creators. We strongly believe that the culture of games, music, and visual arts, will be one of the pillars of the open crypto metaverse. We don’t just build and sell, we also invest and in so doing help build the ecosystem. We want to thank the BAYC community as one of the many other communities that are helping to make The Sandbox a bigger and better place for all.
“The Captain” is a perfect example of why NFTs are the intersection of scarcity, art, and gaming.
“Bored Ape #3749 is a six trait gold fur ape with a sea captain’s hat, a black t-shirt and of course laser eyes. Based on these traits, Bored Ape #3749 is the 27th rarest ape, according to Rarity Tools. As for the Sandbox, they are quickly becoming one of the largest holders of bored apes. After the purchase of Bored Ape #3749, the company now has 31 bored apes worth at least 2,337.979 Eth or $9,118,000 USD, according to Evaluate. Market.” https://twitter.com/ApeBaguette

Unlock & Play Your NFT Avatar in The Metaverse
The Sandbox enables collectors to share, display, and play with their NFTs as part of interactive 3D experiences.
Many of these NFT Avatar Collections own LANDS in The Sandbox: https://twitter.com/borgetsebastien/status/1422819500513185793?s=20
The Avatar collections find additional utility for their NFT holders within our gaming virtual world. Through the interoperability of NFTs, they will be able to turn 2D collectible image NFTs into 3D playable avatars that are animated, can run, jump, socialize, play games, and interact with their other peer Avatars in The Sandbox.
We are working on the NFT bridge to « activate » any Ape inside The Sandbox as a playable avatar that can jump, run, fight, chat, dance, socialize, as well as many more animated interactions.
Back the BAYC community ❤️
An important consideration for any NFT project looking to build in the @TheSandboxGame is “where are my fans?”
Fortunately, @baue_ and @hueristicalstoc answered this question with their unique overlap maps, showing that the @BoredApeYC community had 245 apes logos on The Sandbox’s virtual world map.
We wanted to thank and support all the BAYC community.
They will be bound in many games.

What’s next…
We’re planning to continue increasing our NFT Collection. The Sandbox has the capacity to increase the utility of the NFTs through the experiences and games published into the virtual lands
The Sandbox is opening a NFT curator academy (apply here) to help LAND owners to build their gallery:
We truly believe in every NFT community project as the biggest creative revolution and changing culture including fashion, art, gaming, entertainment.
“We see The Sandbox contributing to the growth of the NFT and Metaverse ecosystems, supporting Creators inside and outside of our gaming virtual world, and adding value to NFTs by giving them increased utility through Avatar interoperability and showcasing them within experiences across The Sandbox,” said Sebastien BORGET, COO & Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “As a truly decentralized metaverse, our role is to give more exposure to the NFTs for all $SAND holders”
