The Sandbox, a blockchain-based virtual world, is on the brink of a revolution. By the year’s end, the virtual realm will open its gates to LAND owners, giving them the opportunity to debut their experiences within the metaverse. This is the first significant step toward transforming The Sandbox into a user-generated content (UGC) centric platform.
Everyone is Invited!
The Sandbox invites every individual to contribute to the construction of the open metaverse:
LAND Owners – If your virtual experience is ready to see the light of day, you can now submit it for preliminary launch approval.
Creators – Now’s the time to share your experience with the global community. Publish your personalized experience page and begin establishing your digital community.
Players – Prepare yourselves for an influx of innovative, UGC-driven experiences.
These advancements are the initial strides toward enabling every LAND owner to debut their unique experience independently by the year’s end.
Milestones and New Features
Many devoted developers have been tirelessly crafting their experiences in The Sandbox. With their assistance, the platform has achieved its first milestone in realizing its vision of a user-centric, open metaverse. Now, The Sandbox can unveil the primary details of its premier publishing features to assist creators in their journeys.
Starting from today, creators can:
Create Your Experience Page – Share your trailer, your experience description, and more on a dedicated page. Once your experience page is prepped, you can distribute it using a unique URL and start engaging your community.
Publish Your Experience Page on the Map – By choosing to publish an experience page on the map, creators can:
