The Sandbox Breaks New Ground with Upcoming Publishing Feature

The Sandbox is preparing to launch its next major breakthrough, allowing LAND owners to create and share their own custom experiences within the Metaverse. The platform is moving past its phase of curated experiences and opening up to user-generated content. Users can currently build their own voxelated microcosm using The Sandbox's no-code game maker and link it to their privately owned LAND parcels.

LAND owners will soon have the option to request early access to the full publishing feature, making them among the first permanent fixtures within The Sandbox's evolving Metaverse. The addition of user-generated content is a major milestone for The Sandbox, which has evolved from a series of LAND sales to a deeply immersive virtual empire.

    Coinbase is developing a service that will target Australia's self-managed pensions sector, according to the exchange's Asia-Pacific Managing Director John O'Loghlen.
