What exactly is The Sandbox?

The Sandbox is a decentralized, community-driven gaming ecosystem where creators can share and monetize voxel assets and gaming experiences in the blockchain!

The three main Sandbox components are the VoxEditor, Marketplace and Game.

Using VoxEdit, players can create or import their own voxel objects and turn them into ERC-721 non-fungible ASSET tokens. ASSETS can be added to collections or used create compelling Game experiences inside your LAND, a voxel space you can purchase, own, modify and even sell.

All of this is possible thanks to SAND, an ERC-20 fungible token that will be used as the basis of transactions on the Marketplace, allowing you to exchange ASSET and LAND tokens with other players.

A sample of how we envision the marketplace will look like

Sell & trade & your creations!

We are developing a decentralized marketplace with no fees or market intervention as well as Cryptocurrency earnings for creators. They will receive 100% of the price they set for the sale of their ASSETS, LANDs & AVATARS.

Support for MagicaVoxel!

Create your own voxel assets and gaming worlds!

True Ownership and Copyright registry of User Generated Content in the Ethereum Blockchain as Non-Fungible and composable tokens is possible in The Sandbox.

Unique NFT and hashes will be assigned to creations, thus ensuring copyright will always be traceable back to the original creator of ASSETS, LANDs, and AVATARS.

Import your assets and gaming experiences to play and interact with them!

The Sandbox grants the ability to play, interact and live within player-made voxel creations. Creators will be able to upload their gameplay experience to the game and interact with other players.

Key Innovations

Blockchain + IPFS

The Sandbox has a step-by-step blockchain implementation process, starting with decentralization of particular gameplay elements, resulting in a full decentralization of the gaming experience over time.

User Generated Content

Content will be created by the community with VoxEdit as well as imported from existing tools such as MagicaVoxel.

Non Fungible Tokens

User-generated content will become ERC-721 non-fungible tokens (ASSETs), allowing the community to monetize & trade their creativity.

Multiplayer

Creators will be able to add multiplayer elements to the LAND they create, allowing the community to share experiences with their friends through online gaming experiences!
