Director of Marketing, Head of Go-To-Market and Growth

About the Sandbox

The Sandbox is a decentralized, community driven platform, where creators can make voxel assets and gaming experiences and monetize them on the blockchain. It features 3 main components: a NFT builder, a Marketplace and the Game Maker.

We’re empowering Players and Creators, and providing an easy way to create & own the content in the games they play through the use of blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens.

We’re leveraging our existing success mobile franchise The Sandbox (40 million installs). Our vision is to offer a metaverse where virtual worlds and games will be created collaboratively without central authority. Because game items are tokenized as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), players can transfer their assets from one game to another, retaining digital scarcity, security, and authenticity.

Players will be able to monetize the time and effort they’ve invested in playing by buying and selling NFTs using the “SAND” token, which is the official currency in The Sandbox. This utility token offers multiple uses that will empower players through community voting, staking mechanisms, crowdfunding, and decentralized governance.

Our journey on The Sandbox just hit a new milestone as we have raised a $2.5M investment round led by Hashed, the largest crypto assets fund and accelerator in South Korea and partnered with Kakao’s Klaytn to reach mass distribution in Korea.
