The Sandbox Launches SANDChain: Empowering Creators in the Metaverse

The Sandbox, a popular Ethereum metaverse game, is set to launch SANDChain, its own Layer-2 network. This new development aims to empower creators, enabling them to own their content, generate income, and manage communities independently of platforms. The network will use The Sandbox's native token, SAND, as its gas and utility token.

SANDChain is a collaboration between The Sandbox and the SANDChain Foundation, supported by The Sandbox itself. It is built with the ZK Stack and is an Ethereum layer-2 network. The network will have three value layers: SANDpoints, Creator Points, and Creator Tokens. Early launch partners include Animoca Brands, Ethereum NFT collection Cool Cats, ZKSync, and Pucca.

SANDChain aims to be the core infrastructure empowering the creator economy on-chain. It will enable creators to own their content, generate money from their identities, and manage their communities without losing out to platforms. The Sandbox, with over 8 million users and 400+ brand partnerships, will provide the foundation for this 'Creator Nation'. SANDChain will launch early access signups on October 1 and its testnet on October 14.

The launch of SANDChain marks a significant step in The Sandbox's evolution. By providing creators with more control and opportunities, it could reshape the creator community within the metaverse. With a strong foundation in The Sandbox's existing user base and partnerships, SANDChain's potential is substantial.
