The Sandbox Marketplace Opens its Doors

Like most other NFTs, land plots and in-game items on The Sandbox can be traded on OpenSea. Additionally, there is now an NFT marketplace exclusively for the virtual land game where NFT designers can monetize their creations, such as in-game characters, wearables, equipment, or digital art.

So far, there have been 46 artists that have been whitelisted for exclusive access to the Market’s Beta version that was launched on March 30. Selling creations on the marketplace will become available to the public soon. Sellers will receive 95% of the sale price with the remaining 5% going to the Sandbox Treasury and the Foundation to be redistributed to the Game Maker Fund and the Creator Fund.
