The Sandbox is well-defined as a platform where users can create and share their own game content. The Sandbox concentrates on promoting Turkish culture, unique geography, history, cultural heritage, TV series, important personalities, brands, projects, and organisations around the world via Turkishverse.

 

The raffle process for the Turkishverse LAND sale will launch on August 23rd, 2023 at 18:00 (Turkey time). Users are primarily supposed to participate in the raffle in order to purchase land from the Turkishverse LAND sale. After the raffle results are announced, attendants who are eligible to become buyers will have the opportunity to purchase their special LAND on the Turkishverse on August 31st, 2023 at 15:00 (Turkey time).

 

The Sandbox offers LAND owners the opportunity to be right next to Turkey's famous names, popular TV series and brands by covenanting an exceptional digital experience with modern technology in Turkishverse through their NFTs and avatar collections. Users will therefore have the privilege of earning with personalised sustainable experiences and benefit from the worldwide recognition of distinguished brands.

 

Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox, stated the following about Turkishverse LAND sale:'' The Turkishverse has a special meaning for us. We strive to share Turkey's rich culture, history and brands with the world. The Sandbox provides endless possibilities for creators and gamers to create their own stories and share and monetize their games. As The Sandbox, our main goal has been bringing together brands, cultures and experiences around the world by encouraging creativity from day one. Now, with Turkishverse, we trust that we will further expand The Sandbox family together with the players and creators in Turkey.``

 

Head of Growth of The Sandbox Turkey, Arslan Kiran additionally said:” The raffle process for Turkishverse LAND sales, which offers the opportunity to represent Turkey's most valuable brands, artistic and cultural riches on an international platform, will commence on August 23rd and selected users will have the opportunity to purchase their special LANDs on August 31st. With this sale, you will have the opportunity to be the neighbour of our famous TV series, brands and important personalities, and you will be able to come together with actors and creators from both Turkey and all over the world by creating your own digital heritage with your avatars that you can personalise with rich content. As The Sandbox, reliability and transparency are at the top of our indispensable principles.”

 

While the players are to build gaming experiences on the Ethereum blockchain using the platform's main token SAND through The Sandbox, they own and can sell in-game assets. Likewise, Players, with the asset generation tool called VoxEdit, may well generate Voxel-based 3D NFTs that can be used in-game, while trading these assets in The Sandbox's NFT marketplace. Ninety-five percent of the income from the assets twisted are offered directly to the creators.

 

As said by the report prepared in partnership with DappRadar and Blockchain Game Alliance; The Sandbox's trade volume increased by 114 percent in January 2023 compared to December 2022 and reached $1.5 million.

 

It is evidently conceivable to envisage that whilst The Sandbox carries Turkey to the metaverse by strengthening its presence in Turkey with new business partnerships in cinema, games, sports, culture-arts, architecture, etc., it will also continue standing out Turkish brands and culture in the international ground through Turkishverse Lands.
