Introduction

Blockchain sandbox game "The Sandbox” has been very active recently. From the launch of the token SAND on Binance LaunchPad, which skyrocketed nearly 11 times, to following the market trend to start liquidity mining, and then announcing the cooperation with the national-level IP “Smurfs”, it can be said that it is a material civilization The construction of spiritual civilization and spiritual civilization has been grasped with both hands, and a unique development path has been blazed. At the end of 2018, DappReview wrote an article introducing this project with a grand vision. Let's take a look at whether the big pie they drew two years ago is not good now.

“Sandbox” has been making “pancakes” for two years

“The Sandbox” Recently, it has been pre-sold twice again, and the official claims that this is the last pre-sale. The theme of this pre-sale is the Smurfs. I don’t know how these little guys will be able to bring goods. When all pre-sales are over, the game will launch a beta test version. We are curious, what evolution and upgrades has "The Sandbox" achieved?

As a pixel game, the foundation of "The Sandbox" ecology is its pixel editor VoxEdit. At present, this editor is very mature. Players can freely import or create 3D pixel models, and match them with various exquisite actions, and finally convert them into NFTs.

Created using VoxEdit The attacking action of the game characters is very smooth, and the power of this tool can be seen from the side. "The Sandbox" has also been promoting its own editor, and has also specially launched a creation fund worth two million US dollars. Players who love sandbox and pixel games have shown their strengths and produced a large number of excellent game assets. Players can put these assets into the game market to realize, and we have also entered the second ecology of "The Sandbox" - the trading market.

In the trading market, players can trade pixel assets and land ( LAND). Judging from the transaction data obtained from the NFT third-party data network PlayToEarn, the transaction volume of "The Sandbox" from the end of last year to the present has reached 1.81 million US dollars. After the game token Sand was listed on Binance in mid-August, the transaction volume and average transaction value of game assets have increased significantly, and the current average price of assets is $233.

However, it should be noted that the land transaction of "The Sandbox" contributed the most to the transaction volume, and the transaction volume of pixel assets was relatively small. After all, "The Sandbox" is still in the infrastructure stage, and this situation is unavoidable. "The Sandbox" is a UGC (User Generated Content) game. The importance of the market to the game is self-evident, and making the market flourish is an important indicator of its success.

Finally with Let's take a look at the progress of Sandbox's third ecological Gameplay. At present, the Alpha client version of the game has been launched http://gamemaker.sandbox.game Players can download and try it here. The game includes three parts: 1. The game editor, where you can edit game scenes and rules. 2. Game templates, you can use preset templates here, Xiaobai can also make exquisite scenes. 3. In the exhibition hall, the mini-games made by other players will be displayed here, and there are many mini-games with good completion. Such as Teaser and Warrior Training Center, let's take a look at the demo of the latter.

It can be seen that the client of "The Sandbox" still has a good performance in game production. We look forward to more players building their own games on it in the future.

The Smurfs make their home on "The Sandbox"

We know that encrypted art and NFT assets have their own IP attributes, but it is difficult for most original IPs to become popular. Therefore, in order to gain more attention, some project parties will choose to cooperate with well-known traditional IP. For example, "My Crypto Heroes" collaborated with Japanese cartoonist Osamu Tezuka, and added well-known comic characters such as Astro Boy to the game characters; DC cartoonist Jose Delbo and crypto artist Trevor Jones cooperated on MakersPlace to launch the " Batman" themed NFT collection.

And just recently, "The Sandbox" announced that it has established a cooperative relationship with IMPS, the copyright owner of the Belgian national treasure IP "The Smurfs". A 3D pixel version of the Smurf village will be reproduced on "The Sandbox". Players can change into the cute avatars of the Smurfs, and use classic characters such as Smurfs, Smurfs, Congcong, and Aziz cats to play games. Of course, these characters are all NFT assets.

"Just like we collected Smurf toys and books when we were kids, players can create their own Smurf adventures, collect and exchange them "The Sandbox" COO and co-founder Sebastien Borget said, "The combination of a globally popular IP spanning generations like "The Smurfs" and user-generated content will further promote NFT and blockchain technology. mainstream application.”

At 9:00 pm on November 12th, “The Sandbox” will open the last and largest LAND pre-sale— — LAND pre-sale 4.3. LAND is the real estate in "The Sandbox". It is the smallest unit that makes up the game map. Its total is only 166,464 pieces, which will never increase or decrease. 19,200 pieces of LAND will be sold in this pre-sale, accounting for 11.5% of the total.

The protagonist of this pre-sale is of course the cute Smurf. If you want to enter the Smurf world of "The Sandbox", you need to buy high-quality LAND near the Smurf village, which is the yellow color block around the Smurf Logo. The number of high-quality LAND land is about 4,800, and the price is about 2,100SAND. It is said that it is still a double 11 discount price, with a 10% discount for the whole site.

In addition, the high-quality LAND also comes with 4 high-quality assets, which are common, rare, epic and legendary. Each legendary asset has unique attributes and appearance, and there are only 200 copies.

Liquidity mining should also be down-to-earth

We just introduced, To buy LAND, you need SAND, the official currency of "The Sandbox", and some people affectionately call it "Sand Dollar". Many people know it because of a Binance IEO 3 months ago. After several days of warm-up, SAND started the rampage mode as soon as it went online. The highest price rose nearly 11 times from the issue price, an increase of 2002.48%.

Times have changed, and the price of SAND is more friendly than when IEO was launched. Those who want to buy LAND Players can buy it on the exchange first, but there is no need to buy too much, because you can also participate in the liquidity mining of "The Sandbox" to earn SAND.

Listed on Binance Launchpad Afterwards, "The Sandbox" also created a SAND/ETH liquidity pool on Uniswap. Starting from October 27th, liquidity providers for this pool will be eligible to share 1.5 million SAND rewards per month. The final reward is distributed proportionally, which depends on the proportion of the player's staked amount relative to the total liquidity.

Currently, the liquidity of "The Sandbox" Mining has entered the second stage, and the game officials include the number of LAND held by players into the reward distribution rules. As shown in the figure below, as the amount of LAND a player owns increases, their rewards will increase proportionally. Therefore, whether it is life or games, it is inseparable from the "land" under your feet.

The growth ratio of the reward depends on on the curve below. This means that for holding one piece of LAND, the player will get 1.1 times the SAND, while with 100 pieces of LAND the player will get 1.5 times the SAND.

It is not difficult to find that by introducing the LAND incentive plan, "The Sandbox" closely links SAND liquidity with the land real estate in the game. Players can also explore various components of the "The Sandbox" game universe. The introduction of such a big IP as The Smurfs is bound to stimulate the secondary creation of game players, and at the same time bring more fresh blood to "The Sandbox" and even blockchain games.
