What is SAND used for?
Take a look at all the exciting things $SAND can be used for.
$SAND can be used for several exciting things.
Medium of exchange
$SAND is the medium of exchange in The Sandbox's ecosystem. It will be necessary for making purchases from The Sandbox's marketplace. It will be required to purchase:
LAND
ASSETs
GEMs and CATALYSTs
Avatar customisations
Governance
$SAND holders will be able to participate in the governance of The Sandbox's platform.
Selling your ASSETs
Voxel artists will need $SAND in order to upload their voxel creations to The Sandbox's marketplace to sell in order to monetise them.
Staking
$SAND is also used for staking onto LAND. In return, stakers will earn rewards, such as highly coveted GEMs.
$SAND can also be staked into a liquidity mining pool for passive rewards too.
Playing (some) games
Some games on The Sandbox's platform will be free to play (F2P). But not all of them. The game designer may choose at their own discretion to charge players a small amount of $SAND in order to play their games.
Play2Earn
Players can potentially earn some $SAND by playing games. Simple as that.
Hiring designers and artists
You will be able to use $SAND to hire game designers and artists to collaborate on projects with you or commission them to design ASSETs for your project.
Contests
Some game designers may choose to give $SAND away as a reward in contests hosted on their LAND.
Foundation Fund & Staking Pool
From all $SAND transactions, a 5% transaction fee is applied. 50% of this fee is allocated to the Foundation Fund and the other 50% is allocated to the Staking Pool.
The Foundation Fund supports the ecosystem and allows us to offer grants to incentivise artists and designers to produce high quality games and ASSETs. The Staking Pool contains the rewards for token holders who choose to stake.
