Pioneering Interoperability
The Sandbox’s Vision for a Multi-Chain Future
Innovation is key in the ever-evolving landscape of blockchain technology. After years as a top ten gaming token, our main utility token, SAND, is bridging to multiple blockchains.
More than a mere technical upgrade, this maneuver charts a course toward an interconnected and inclusive future for the entire blockchain ecosystem. By embracing connections with prominent chains like Binance Smart Chain, Base, and Polygon, we’re pioneering a model where tokens, not just NFTs, can seamlessly traverse multiple networks.
We expect this will simplify use for SAND holders and further engage the broader Web3 community. This initiative is about more than just expanding the platform’s reach, it’s about fostering a vibrant ecosystem where collaboration and innovation can continue to thrive.
Enhancing Utility Through Interoperability
By making SAND available across various blockchain networks, we’re fostering a multi-chain ecosystem to expand our vibrant and diverse community of players and creators. This influx of participation will not only fuel growth but also foster deeper engagement and collaboration across the platform.
At the time of writing, we have integrated SAND with the following chains:
- Binance Smart Chain: Binance Smart Chain represents the largest blockchain by daily active users with over 287K weekly active gamers. This bridge will allow us to reach new audiences worldwide, introducing them to SAND and The Sandbox’s immersive experiences and creation tools.
- Base: Base is empowered by the Coinbase platform which commands over $130B worth of assets on its platform. This bridge connects $SAND to the Coinbase audience in a more integrated and rewarding way.
- Polygon: With over 2.44B transactions and 219M unique addresses The Sandbox’s existing integration with Polygon has proved to be wildly successful. The decision affords users near-zero gas fees, leverages their assets on the most widely used Ethereum scaling ecosystem, and aids in the fight against carbon emissions as Polygon is carbon neutral.
Our new bridges, to Binance Smart Chain and Base, have been facilitated by LayerZero, an interoperability protocol that connects blockchains, allowing developers to build seamless omnichain applications, tokens, and experiences.
We hope that this is just the beginning and that more chain expansions will take place in the future.
Leading the Charge Toward a Decentralized Future
Our choice to bridge SAND to multiple blockchains is one we believe will yield significant positive outcomes for both our platform users and the broader blockchain community. If decentralization serves as the backbone of the Web3 space, collaboration acts as the beating heart that unites us all. This new collaboration with LayerZero, as well as the chains and protocols that may join us in the future, will pave the way for enhanced accessibility, interoperability, and innovation across the blockchain landscape.
Join us as we embark on this transformative journey toward a more interconnected and inclusive future.
