The Sandbox, a popular NFT and metaverse project that skyrocketed in 2021 after launching Alpha Season 1, is possibly about to see another explosion in price and popularity. The project became the second-most searched NFT in the world after the launch of Season 1, and it was seen as one of the most critical projects to look out for in 2022. Not only that, but it made virtual real estate NFTs the biggest and most popular ones around.
Now, the project finally launched Alpha Season 2, and investors, traders, and users are extremely excited about it, for good reason.
What has Alpha Season 2 brought?
Season 2 instantly became a hot topic in crypto as it brought upgrades for 18 experiences that launched in Season 1. Furthermore, it brought 12 brand new experiences, plus one new transportation HUB.

In addition to that, Season 2 also delivered some rather significant system upgrades, including the ability to access it from Mac and PC alike. The project is very excited about the new development itself, and as part of promoting Season 2, it will be free to join throughout the month of March 2022.
Any player who wishes to access the project’s experiences will be able to do so free of charge, without having to obtain a pass first. That also includes Snoopverse — a metaverse version of Snoop Dogg’s real-life mansion, that the artist is rebuilding in The Sandbox’s metaverse.
In addition to having free access to The Sandbox’s experiences in March, the project will also offer users to earn Season 2 Alpha Passes, and up to $1000 SAND tokens in rewards.
The Sandbox is blowing up again
Following the launch of Season 2, and the start of the project’s promotions, The Sandbox already started seeing a massive torrent of new users who started rushing to join its metaverse. Only two hours after Season 2 launched, the project hit a 2 million user mark, and so far, everything indicates that the growth will continue throughout the month.
The Sandbox’s CEO commented on the new development, stating that the project has more games that it plans to reveal in future seasons, and that those that the project has selected for now are “pretty awesome.”
With that, The Sandbox officially confirmed that future seasons will see release, and that exciting new experiences can be expected as they come. In fact, they might be as good as, or better than Alpha Season 2.
The project’s SAND token also already responded to the surge in demand and publicity by going up to $3.2, with the surge starting mere hours after the release of Season 2. Unfortunately, a recent crypto recovery that included the entire market resulted in a crash that caused SAND price to drop to $2.88 earlier today. The token’s recovery has started, however, and SAND is currently trying to breach the resistance at $3.
About The Sandbox
As many who follow the development of metaverse projects likely know, The Sandbox is a project offering a virtual world that allows users to create, build, buy, and sell their own games. Its metaverse is a place where developers can come to build games that will show their own ideas and innovative approaches to blockchain gaming.
Furthermore, the projects also use play-to-earn model to allow players to profit from playing these games. In doing so, The Sandbox hopes to build additional bridges between traditional and blockchain gaming, and particularly to attract gamers to blockchain games offered by its network.
