What is The Sandbox (SAND) crypto?
Sandbox is a popular blockchain-based metaverse platform that allows users to create and trade digital assets in the form of a game. The project was founded by Pixowl and launched in 2011.
Its decentralized platform, with features for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) and NFTs, is gaining popularity within the gaming community.

Sandbox taps the blockchain technology through its native utility token, SAND. The token is also used for transactions on the platform. It trades on several exchanges like Uniswap (V2), Gate.io, etc.
