LANDS are blockchain-backed virtual tokens (using the ERC-721 standard for NFTs) representing physical parcels of The Sandbox Metaverse. They allow players to own a portion of the Metaverse and thus be able to host content (ASSETS and GAMES). The Sandbox Metaverse is based on a map of 166,464 LANDS (408\*408). LANDS are physical spaces in the Metaverse owned by players to create and monetize Games. LANDS are used to publish your game and can be rented out to game creators so they can publish their experiences.
