We are introducing a new weekly format for our ambassador weekly format that I hope will help you better help our community!
United Colors of The Sandbox
Today more than ever we have a community that is based worldwide and not everyone speaks English.
To cater to everyone’s needs we have created new Telegram channels for our worldwide community. If you notice native speakers on our various channels you can direct them to a specific channel!
We also need help managing them so if you have fluency in another language or know of anyone that does and could help please contact us at contact@sandbox.game

*If you want to create a special medium for a specific language (Telegram/Discord/Twitter…) always notify me first so that we can work towards building the best experience.

The only SAND contract address
With the launch of our SAND token, some fake tokens have appeared. To avoid scams and other unpleasant mishaps make sure the community knows that we only have one SAND contract address which is this one: https://etherscan.io/token/0x3845badAde8e6dFF049820680d1F14bD3903a5d0

This week’s hottest questions
Here are the top 5 most recurring questions asked this week and here are our answers! You don’t have to copy paste the answer if you don’t want to :) but these answers should inspire yours!
Q. What is the utility of $SAND tokens? What can I do on the platform with $SAND?
A. $SAND will enable players to create, play, own, govern, trade and earn within The Sandbox virtual world gaming platform. It is the ERC-20 token that will be used all across The Sandbox metaverse. $SAND is an essential part of The Sandbox platform and we are working on establishing key mechanics that makes it intrinsically tied to the platform and its value. It will serve for/as
1/ Medium of exchange: Players can potentially collect SAND through gameplay, and subsequently spend $SAND to play games, purchase equipment, or customize Avatar characters. Creators can spend SAND to acquire ASSETS and LAND. Artists can spend SAND to upload ASSETS to the Marketplace and buy GEMs for defining item rarity.
2/ Governance: $SAND allows holders to participate in governance decisions. SAND owners can vote themselves or delegate voting rights to other players of their choice.
3/ Staking: Users can stake $SAND tokens to earn rewards, as well as GEMs and CATALYSTs for ASSETS creation. Also, our fee capture model is important, as a total of 26.5% of all SAND transaction volume goes back into the Foundation. The role of the Foundation is to support the ecosystem of The Sandbox, offering grants to incentivize production of high quality content and games on the platform. To date, the Foundation has already funded over 15 game projects and granted 100 artists to produce NFTs that will be available at the public Launch in December 2020
Q. Is The Sandbox DeFi?
A. There are some aspects of DeFi in The Sandbox. The tokens collected by the players are ERC-20 and can be exchanged as valuable resources between the different type of users (hence a circular economy).
We hope to create liquidity pools and DEX like Uniswap for these ERC-20 resources, like GEMS and Catalysts for example There are many ways in which users can monetize their time on the platform while keeping 95% of $SAND as revenue share, by: Selling ASSETS: Users can create and sell ASSETS as NFTs on the marketplace Owning a LAND: Buy a LAND in one of the LAND sales. Players can then either rent them or populate them with content to increase the LAND's value. Building Games on the Game Maker: Creators can build and monetize games using the Game Maker on the LANDs that are owned by players. Playing and participating in the game: In the Game, not only can creators profit from their creations, players can play-to-earn by collecting resources, rewards, and tokens.
Q. What's the difference between $SAND vs LAND? What are the benefits that the user can get by owning a LAND?
A. $SAND is a fungible (ERC-20) utility token that serves as the basis for all transactions within The Sandbox, plus governance and staking. LAND is a non-fungible (ERC-721) NFT that represents a digital piece of real estate in The Sandbox metaverse. Players can own, create and publish game experiences on their LAND.
Q. Do we need to hold SAND tokens to play?
A. Not at all. The experience should be free to play with some games available totally free, some other payings, it’s up to the creators.
Players can potentially collect $SAND through gameplay, and subsequently spend $SAND to play games, purchase equipment, or customize Avatar characters. Creators can spend SAND to acquire ASSETS and LAND. Artists can spend $SAND to upload ASSETS to the Marketplace and buy GEMs for defining item rarity.
Q. Is there any way to earn $SAND token in playing your game The Sandbox? What is the main use case of $SAND token?
A. Yes, it’s an important part — players who spend time should benefit from their playtime and be able to collect rewards and tokens, that can be exchanged for $SAND tokens. This creates a virtuous circle called “circular economy” and is the basis of our “play-to-earn” model
Q. What is the main difference from Minecraft?
A. Minecraft is not a game maker, but more of a crafting game. We are aiming to disrupt the existing game makers like Minecraft and Roblox by providing creators true ownership of their creations as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and rewarding their participation with our utility token – SAND. Minecraft is a centralised walled garden, anything you create is actually not yours and you cannot trade or monetise it the way you want.
