🏗️ The Sandbox Anchors Creator Identity and Ownership Onchain
🔐 Identity goes onchain
The Sandbox is positioning identity, ownership, and distribution as core infrastructure elements within its platform.
Key developments:
- Creators can now establish their identity onchain, maintaining full ownership of their creations
- Built assets remain portable and can be distributed across interoperable surfaces
- $SAND serves as the consistency layer, ensuring actions and value transfer remain standardized across the ecosystem
This approach builds on The Sandbox's existing framework where creators, brands, and players operate within a shared economic system. The platform continues to expand with hundreds of worlds and tools connecting through a unified economic layer powered by $SAND.
The focus on onchain identity and ownership represents a structural shift toward creator autonomy within the metaverse environment.

The Sandbox optimizes for throughput. Creation, iteration, and publishing are designed to move quickly from idea to live experience. $SAND enables that velocity by standardizing how activity is recorded and rewarded across the platform.
Creators and experiences are multiplying across The Sandbox ecosystem Hundreds of worlds, tools, assets and creations connect through one economic layer $SAND powers the activity across them all
