With the new funding, The Sandbox’s development team claimed that enhancing developer tools, incorporating new gameplay and social features, and creating a mobile version scheduled for next year are its main priorities. 

The Sandbox is a famous blockchain game thanks to collaborations with more than 400 brands and celebs such as Gucci, Paris Hilton, and Snoop Dogg. Besides, its prominence is linked to an earlier huge demand for in-game plots sold through nonfungible tokens (NFTs). In 2021, somebody used crypto worth $450,000 for a land neighboring the Snoop Dogg’s metaverse mansion.

CoinGecko data shows that the game’s SAND token on Ethereum is still one of the globe’s most valuable cryptocurrencies based on market capitalization. Nevertheless, its NFT land plots’ price has decreased significantly since metaverse publicity peaked in early 2022, from 3.9 Ether ($11700) to the current 0.08 Ether ($300).
