The Sandbox, a web3 metaverse, recently hosted its inaugural Global Creators Day, marking a monumental milestone in the realm of user-generated content. The metaverse platform revealed its grand vision, vowing to house a staggering 2,000 user-generated experiences on its map by 2024.
The Sandbox is similar to those popular building games you’ve seen, like Minecraft; where you can unleash your inner artist and create these amazing virtual worlds. And this time, they’re opening the gates to everyone.
Unlocking The Sandbox’s Gates
On November 3, 2023, The Sandbox did something extraordinary — it opened its virtual doors to all LAND owners. Creators now have the power to publish their completed experiences directly on The Sandbox Map, bypassing the initial application process altogether. The Sandbox just made the platform more accessible for game producers to unleash their creative potential.
The executive team at The Sandbox reaffirmed their commitment to creating a new form of entertainment — one that actively engages and rewards users and communities. This vision is already taking shape with the launch of eight new cultural and geographical neighborhoods on its map in 2023, including Voxel Madness, MegaCity 3, Infinite Pulse, Kverse, Lion City, and other exciting projects.
Celebrity Collaborations
The Sandbox extends an open invitation to creators to collaborate with top IPs and celebrities, aiming to secure their place on the coveted IP LANDS. The first IP partner to join in is Avenged Sevenfold. The platform plans to host more than 30 contests throughout the year, rewarding the best experiences created around specific themes. This dynamic synergy between user-generated content and brands positions The Sandbox as a unique destination “where gaming meets culture.”
A Decentralized Metaverse
The Global Creators Day event marks the dawn of a new era, driven by UGC and true digital ownership. The Sandbox is on a mission to bring users into the decentralized metaverse, with over five million registered wallets, 800 global partners, a 20% year-on-year increase in playtime per user, and its mobile version set to launch in 2024.
The Sandbox wholeheartedly embraces the metaverse as a continuous, shared digital expanse, where realms and champions converge to craft pure enchantment. Over 400 partners have hopped on board The Sandbox, including heavyweights like Warner Music Group, Ubisoft, The Rabbids, Gucci Vault, and many more. This diverse group shares The Sandbox’s vision of letting players craft their own experiences using both original and well-known characters and worlds.
