In the changing world of Web3 and the metaverse, The Sandbox, a virtual world based on Ethereum, is moving towards decentralization. On November 3rd, the platform said that all “LAND” owners can now create and share their own experiences on The Sandbox Map without having to apply first. The founders of The Sandbox are showing they really want to help people and companies make the metaverse better.
Sebastien Borget, one of the creators of The Sandbox, said that user-made content and owning property are really important for the platform. Borget said that people like using blockchain because it lets them make things, not just for storing money. The Sandbox wants to make it easier for people to join and create their own experiences, so that there can be more of them.
This inclusive approach will get even better with updates to the platform’s Game Maker tool, coming out before 2024. The Game Maker tool will make it easier to create new games with different ways to play, pre-made designs, and ways for players to interact. It will help people make more interesting games and get more people interested in playing them in different industries.
The Sandbox wants to support these changes and create new ideas. They are planning to restart their $100 million SAND Game Maker Fund, which is currently worth $36 million. This fund will help creators try out new things, create and make money from their virtual experiences. Borget said this plan will make people more interested and also help shape the future of music, fashion, sports, entertainment, art, and culture on the platform.
Using a brand in a game and playing with other people.
The Sandbox wants to help people be more successful and also helps brands connect with their fans in the virtual world. By holding competitions to redesign New York’s Times Square and copy buildings from The Walking Dead, the platform has helped brands connect with people and get them really interested.
Also, the platform is working on adding multiplayer features because they know it’s important for involving the audience. However, adding multiplayer features to a virtual world on blockchain presents its own problems, and The Sandbox is determined to solve them.
The Sandbox has over 400 partners, including big names like Warner Music Group, Ubisoft, Gucci Vault, Snoop Dogg, Invincible, and Adidas. This shows that the industry supports The Sandbox a lot. These partnerships will be really important in deciding what the platform will have, and will create lots of chances for creators and users.
Described how Metaverse can be used.
In the future, Sebastien Borget said that many people using the metaverse depends on having clear reasons to use virtual worlds. He said that people want to have really good experiences that will pull them into these digital worlds. The Sandbox wants to help creators and brands make cool stuff for the metaverse, so that more people will want to be a part of it.
