- UniX Gaming, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that was among the early adopters of the play-to-earn (P2E) concept, has established strategic partnership with The Sandbox.
- UniX will support artists, companies, and other customers with their entrance to the metaverse by helping them create new virtual world experiences.
- UniX also aims to incorporate several educational features to The Sandbox platform.
UniX Gaming and The Sandbox have recently announced they have entered a strategic partnership, from which both parties seek to benefit. UniX will help develop The Sandbox’s ecosystem by integrating several educational features. In addition, UniX aims to become the go-to ecosystem builder for companies, artists and projects that want to appear in The Sandbox’s virtual world, but don’t have the necessary technical skills to develop the virtual land and create unique metaverse experiences.
SAND is up by almost 630% in 6 months but still has room to grow
The Sandbox Metaverse, which has established itself as one of the leading metaverse projects throughout last year, offers players and creators a decentralized and intuitive platform to create immersive 3D worlds and game experiences. This decentralized virtual world is experiencing especially rapid growth of both users and investors since Facebook’s parent company rebranded to Meta at the end of October 2020, which sparked the rallies of almost all metaverse-related projects. Nevertheless, not all project managed to sustain such a prolonged rally as The Sandbox. Since the rebrand, the SAND token gained more than 70%. Early investors benefited even more as the platform’s native token is up by almost 630% in last 6 months and more than 3500% in the last year.
The Sandbox team is very happy to have UniX onboard
The Sandbox is additionally accelerating the demand for its virtual land and metaverse experiences by signing multiple partnerships with big names and brands from various mainstream industries, such as Deadmau5, Snoop Dogg, Adidas, The Walking Dead, and others. However, the partnership with UniX will be a bit different, as UniX will help develop land, experiences, and community tools. Julien Gratz, Head of Publishing at The Sandbox, welcomed UniX by saying:
“We are very pleased to welcome the UNIX Gaming team as a partner within The Sandbox. They are one of the fastest-growing and best guilds we saw so far, and their dedication to building a better community thanks to Creator skills and Building skills learning is a much-needed element for our ecosystem; we are definitely a good match!”
UniX Gaming created the biggest guild in less than 1 year
UniX launched in June 2021 with an aim to take on a different approach to gaming. The DAO immediately recognised the potential of the emerging play-to-earn (P2E) model and is one of the early adopters in this gaming subsector. The P2E model allows UniX to provide scholarships to players from developing countries. Since June 2021 more than 180,000 members joined UniX, making it one of the biggest gaming communities worldwide.
As part of the strategic partnership with The Sandbox, UniX will help create unique and entertaining gameplay mechanics that could once become fully-fledged experiences in the metaverse. The UniX team will create gameplay prototypes using their proprietary game-maker tool based on Unity. In addition, UniX will try to incorporate their favoured educational aspect with the Sandbox platform.
“We want to bring life in The Sandbox”, UniX CEO said
The excitement regarding the partnership was also shared by Mirko Basil Doelger, co-founder and CEO of UniX Gaming, who revealed their goal is to liven up the virtual world. He said:
“We are exhilarated about this partnership; we have a lot of plans that we want to bring to life in The Sandbox. Our collaboration with them will not only bring us great pleasure but we are also excited to support other projects to join the ecosystem too.”
Eventually UniX aims to become the go-to ecosystem builder for projects who want to set up a Sandbox venture but don’t have the resources to develop the virtual land and experiences themselves. As such, UniX will aid new partners of The Sandbox with their entrance into the metaverse and significantly ease the whole process.
