Introduction to The Sandbox
The Sandbox is a community-driven platform where creators can monetize voxel assets and gaming experiences on the blockchain. It combines the power of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to create a decentralized platform for a thriving gaming community.
Core Components
- VoxEdit: A 3D voxel modeling software for creating and animating 3D objects
- Game Maker: A visual scripting tool for creating 3D games without coding
- Marketplace: Where users can buy and sell ASSETS and LAND
- Game Client: The platform where players can explore and play games
