The Sandbox has just released its second season of Alpha. So, what are Alpha seasons? How do they work?
Even the greatest company of the metaverse may have to reconsider their aversion to virtual places now that JPMorgan has opened its metaverse club in Decentraland.
Thus, The Sandbox, Decentraland’s main rival, has just released its second season of Alpha. On March 3, The Sandbox’s second metaverse testing got under way. This iteration gets The Sandbox one step closer to its finished metaverse product.
So, let’s take a closer look at The Sandbox, including how it functions, the rationale behind its season structure, and what players can anticipate from Alpha Season 2.
What Exactly Is The Sandbox?
Players may build their unique digital assets, convert them into marketable NFTs, and publish them toward the metaverse using The Sandbox Game Maker with one of the most well-liked and developed metaverses, The Sandbox. In order to host their distinctive assets, players may also own digital LAND.
Through three cohesive products, creator Pixowl upholds their philosophy of metaverse digital ownership.
- Users are able to design and create 3D voxel models with the VoxEdit Voxel Editor. Anything, including people, animals, and inanimate objects, may be produced and published into The Sandbox thanks to 3D modeling.
- Players are able to exchange their creations on the NFT market.
- For the metaverse, developers may create 3D games using the Sandbox Game Maker.
What Are The Seasons Of The Sandbox Alpha?
Updates will arrive as Alpha Seasons prior to The Sandbox launching its “final” metaverse, which will probably be updated on a regular basis. All of those are multi-week events that provide participants SAND and NFT incentives in exchange for discovering new activities and ecosystem social hotspots. While not a feature of the “original” Sandbox game, Alpha Seasons serve as a tool for the development team to solicit community feedback and maintain a high level of interest in the finished product.
What is in The Sandbox Alpha Season 1?
Beginning on November 29, 2021, and ending on December 20, 2021, Alpha Season 1 offered a total of 18 experiences.
Users with no Alpha Pass had access to the following experiences during Season 1, while others with the Alpha Pass had complete access. Even though only Alpha Pass members could participate in play-to-earn events, both groups may communicate via the social hub. Alpha Passes were given out by a LAND owner raffle, daily social contests, or could be bought on Opensea. Players might receive prizes of 1,000 SAND and three unique NFTs ( Alpha Gate, Alpha Dragon, and Alpha Sword).
What Happens During The Sandbox Alpha Season 2?
On March 3, 2022, Season 2 was made available to all users. Mac users are welcome to watch Season 2. 1,000 SAND is eligible to win prizes, same like in Season 1. Three methods are still used to distribute Alpha Passes:
Owners of the LAND as well as Season 1 Alpha Passes are eligible to enter the drawing, which runs until March 31.
Weekly contests are held, and information about them can be found at The Sandbox Alpha Contests website and The Sandbox Discord.
Opensea: acquiring a pass (official) through a secondary source (currently 355 SAND).
35 experiences make up Season 2, including 18 improved Season 1 experiences, five original new interactions, 4 new user-built Game Maker Fund insights, and three new IP experiences.
