What if there’s a world where YOU can hang out with The Smurfs, chill with Snoop Dogg, become a Rollercoaster Tycoon, AND fight off The Walking Dead? A world where you can build anything you want, play games, build games, and at the same time... make money?

Today we’ll be chatting with the Co-Founder of The Sandbox, Sebastien Borget, who’s building a blockchain-based gaming world alongside some incredible partners. Even Adidas recently bought land in The Sandbox and will begin to build their own experience within the metaverse.
