The Alpha version of the virtual universe The Sandbox has just come to an end. After the success of the Alpha version, it announces its migration to a layer 2 of Ethereum, Polygon, in order to ensure a maximum stability and comfort for its community.
The Sandbox and metavers
In parallel with the success of non-fungible tokens (NFT) globally since the beginning of the year, “metavers” such as The Sandbox or Decentraland are not left behind. The Sandbox has announced the end of its Alpha version and its success with players.
A metaverse is a digital universe in which players can evolve in real time. Often in an open world in 3D format, it is possible to interact with other people. These interactions include trading and purchasing with cryptocurrencies as well as exchanging digital items.
Metaverses have been around for years and virtual properties have been exchanged on them for a while, but with the emergence of Web 3.0 as well as Facebook’s name change to “Meta”, the price of their tokens has exploded.
The Sandbox, a project by two Frenchmen, has been around since 2011, but has only been using blockchain technology since 2018.
Its Alpha version took place during the month of December and saw tens of thousands of players and more than 15,000 distributed NFTs.
