The Sandbox
The Sandbox Protocol is a blockchain-based gaming platform that allows players to create and own virtual assets in a Minecraft-style world. It uses non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to represent these assets, giving players true ownership and the ability to trade them in a decentralized marketplace. The platform also includes a game creation tool that lets players design and share their own games within the Sandbox world.
