The Sandbox Partners With BlockchainSpace To Grow Faster

Blockchain-based gaming platform, The Sandbox, has announced a partnership with BlockchainSpace, a metaverse platform, in order to grow the number of guilds and players.

The latest move is a part of the collaborative effort, wherein BlockchainSpace plans to connect a huge number of guilds and players to the virtual world created by The Sandbox.

BlockchainSpace describes itself as the “guild hub of the metaverse,” and offers the infrastructure and technology. With the partnership, the team behind the metaverse platform will provide access for its 2,600 guilds and 680,000 players to the growing virtual world of The Sandbox.

According to the announcement, BlockchainSpace’s guild infrastructure enables tracking interaction and connects players with the help of its network across the world.

The Sandbox and BlockchainSpace previously joined forces to develop the Philippine community, launched voxel non-fungible token (NFT) art contests, and other initiatives.

The partnership press release explained:

“Moreover, it is a valuable showcase for BlockhainSpace’s guild infrastructure and network and how it can scale to projects on The Sandbox level. Scaling communities for NFT games is a crucial aspect of building and expanding the appeal of the metaverse.”

The Sandbox, which is a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based blockchain gaming unicorn Animoca Brands, had raised $93 million in a funding round led by SoftBank’s Vision Fund 2 in November 2021. Other investors such as Animoca Brands, Samsung Next, True Global Ventures, Polygon Studios, Liberty City Ventures also participated in the round.

The Sandbox has grown massively this year, especially due to the NFT explosion and the subsequent capital inflow into the sector that helped the platform’s growth trajectory. It also managed to attract high-profile partnerships that included the likes of Snoop Dogg, CryptoKitties, The Smurfs, Care Bears, among others.
