After enabling LAND publishing for all creators, the decentralized gaming metaverse The Sandbox is now more open than ever before, as their NFT marketplace is now officially live on the Polygon network.

Launch Benefits

With the release of The Sandbox Marketplace on Polygon, creators now have an accessible path forward in monetizing ASSETs by minting and selling with lower gas fees on the popular Ethereum-based chain. By bringing this secondary market, NFT holders also have the opportunity to resell ASSETs on here if they didn’t already create them on the original marketplace.

Next to reduced gas fees, with the team covering 10 Polygon transaction fees for each user per month, the launch also brings with it an overhaul to the user interface of the marketplace, improving existing UI/UX and revamping ASSET cards while introducing a new asset upload flow, new workspace ASSET status and new ASSET moderation.

In celebration of this release, a new NFT collection from 30 artists that are part of the Creator Fund has launched.

How to Mint

In order to mint ASSETs, you now need to own CATALYSTs. These are new ERC-1155 tokens that have been distributed to all LAND owners, and can be found for purchase on OpenSea. LAND holders can also gain more of these items through Season’s Greetings, a 43-day winter event featuring a total prize pool of 600k $SAND tokens.
