# WHAT IS THE SANDBOX?

The Sandbox is a decentralized community-driven gaming, digital art and game development ecosystem where creators and designers can create and monetise their art NFTs, art experience and gaming experiences on the Ethereum blockchain. At its core, The Sandbox is an ecosystem for Players and Creators, consisting of three main components: a Voxel Editor (named 'VoxEdit"), a Marketplace, and the Game itself.

* VOXEDIT: This simple to use yet powerful free 3D voxel modeling package allows users to create and animate 3D objects such as people, animals, foliage, and tools, and export them into The Sandbox marketplace to become game ASSETS.
* MARKETPLACE: The Sandbox's web-based marketplace allows users to upload, publish, and sell their creations (ASSETS) made in VoxEdit.
* GAME MAKER: The Game is the overall game system where playable experiences can be enjoyed and shared. In the Game, not only can creators profit from their creations, players can play-to-earn by collecting resources, rewards, and tokens.
