Welcome to the Metaverse!
The Sandbox, under the banner of Animoca Brands, is rolling out the red carpet for players like never before. With the upcoming Alpha event, gamers can dive into a portion of this vibrant virtual world, but, spoiler alert, only a few will get the golden ticket to a fully immersive experience!
What’s the Deal with the Alpha Event?
Launching on November 29 at 1 PM UTC, this multi-week play-to-earn (P2E) fest is set to wrap up on December 20. If you’re one of the fortunate 5,000 players, brace yourself to earn up to 1,000 SAND tokens, which is about $3,500 in today’s market! And it’s not all about coins, as participants can snag three exclusive NFTs that even sound like they came straight from a fantasy novel.
Unlocking the World of NFTs
In the spirit of gamification, players can look forward to collectibles like:
- A Medieval-Style Gate
- A Majestic Blue-and-Black Dragon
- A Longsword Fit for a Hero
These beauties won’t be around forever, so collect them while you can!
All That Glitters: The Alpha Pass
So, how do you snag that coveted Alpha Pass? Out of thin air? Nope, it’s a bit more complicated! Here’s the scoop:
- 1,000 passes will be distributed via a raffle for Sandbox Landowners.
- 2,250 passes will be doled out to Sandbox account holders through daily social contests during the event.
- Can’t wait? A few will be available for sale on the secondary market, OpenSea, from November 29 until December 19!
For players without the pass—don’t worry! You can still access three experiences and the Alpha Hub, where you can mingle, quest, and maybe even partake in a good old-fashioned digital dance-off (we assume).
Market Buzz and Token Dynamics
And like a good plot twist, the financial side of The Sandbox is also shining! Currently, the floor price for Sandbox NFTs hovers around 1.019 ETH (roughly $4,284), with a jaw-dropping total trade volume of 39,700 ETH—that’s about $165.3 million since late 2019!
Wise Words for New Players
Yat Siu, co-founder of Animoca Brands, offers a nugget of wisdom for eager newcomers: “Before buying virtual land, experience The Sandbox. Join the community, explore, and ensure you understand the metaverse!” It’s like real estate; you wouldn’t just buy a Manhattan loft out of the blue, would you?
Looking Ahead
This P2E Alpha event is not just a one-off; it’s part of a bigger picture. With a recent $93-million Series B funding round led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, the future looks bright for The Sandbox as it seeks to expand its gaming universe. Get ready, folks, because once the metaverse opens, it’s game on!
