Decentralized gaming metaverse, The Sandbox, has expanded its reach by launching its NFT marketplace on the Polygon network. This move offers creators a more economical way to mint and sell ASSETs as NFTs, thanks to lower gas fees associated with Polygon, a popular Ethereum-based chain.
This development follows The Sandbox’s recent initiative to allow all creators to publish LAND. The new marketplace on Polygon not only reduces gas fees but also enhances the user experience. The Sandbox team is covering 10 Polygon transaction fees per user each month. Alongside, there’s been a revamp in the marketplace’s user interface. This includes an improved asset upload flow, updated workspace ASSET status, and new ASSET moderation processes.
To mark this significant launch, The Sandbox has introduced a new NFT collection featuring works from 30 artists in its Creator Fund.
For creators looking to mint ASSETs, owning CATALYSTs is now a requirement. These new ERC-1155 tokens have been distributed to all LAND owners and are available for purchase on OpenSea. Additionally, LAND holders can acquire more CATALYSTs through the “Season’s Greetings” event, a 43-day winter celebration with a total prize pool of 600k $SAND tokens.
