Details :

The metaverse is a virtual world where people can interact, attend events, and explore, as digital avatars of themselves. The Sandbox metaverse is one of the decentralized virtual worlds running on the Ethereum-block chain. The Sandbox metaverse comprises of 166,464 digital plots of land, called LAND, which are non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that guarantee copyright ownership. LAND owners can create unique experiences on top of the virtual land and share it with other users. In recent months, the Sandbox metaverse has attracted investments from multinational corporates, like HSBC and PwC Hong Kong, and property tycoons. Investors believe that the metaverse offers new possibilities for organizations to create value through innovative business models, as well as introducing new ways to engage with their customers and communities.

While the concept can sound abstract, the speaker will, in the event, explain what is Sandbox metaverse, how the system works, what the jargons in the system mean, what attracts investors and large corporates in buying land in virtual world, can virtual ‘real’ estate yield real money and what is coming up next in this virtual space.
