❓FAQs: Wallet

Funds and NFTs are stored in your cryptocurrency wallet, not in your account at The Sandbox.

The Sandbox team will NEVER request your passwords, security keys, wallet passphrases, security questions, or security passphrases. This information should always be privately secured.

Providing your wallet address is safe, as it is a public record and does not allow anyone to make transactions. You may, however, prefer sharing your wallet address privately in some support cases where we may ask for it.

Different Wallets to Suit Your Needs

Some cryptocurrency wallets are more suited for different experience levels and different Web3 activities which may include:

• Collecting non-fungible tokens (NFTs) like music, 2D art, or The Sandbox Assets

• Using digital applications connected to your wallet data (dapps)

• Claiming play-and-earn rewards

• Staking digital currencies for passive income

For this reason, The Sandbox allows you to choose between various software wallet types to connect and provides information about hardware wallets if you prefer added security.

Gas Fees

On the blockchain, gas fees compensate those who validate transactions. If you intend to purchase NFTs, you need cryptocurrency on the correct blockchain to pay a gas fee.

The Sandbox offers tools in your Wallet Settings to simplify transactions. Click on your username, select Settings, and click the Wallet tab on the left to view them:

Gasless Transactions

Every user in The Sandbox has an allotted number of gasless transactions available each month on the Polygon network. Once they are used up, you'll need to pay gas fees for any purchases or claims.

The number of gasless transactions remaining appears on purchases and claims pages, and the renewal date for the next months' free transactions appears as well.

SUNSETTING: PAY FEES IN SAND

As of January 23, 2025, the Pay Gas Fees in SAND feature will no longer be available. With it, users could pay in one currency, SAND, instead of SAND for Marketplace content and POL for the gas fee. This change does not affect the Gasless Transactions feature.

Add the Polygon Blockchain Network

There are many blockchain networks out there. The Sandbox began on Ethereum and has been transitioning to include the Polygon blockchain to reduce and make our blockchain transactions more Earth-friendly. Some wallets only allow you to use certain networks, and some may begin with a default network and allow you to add more. If you need to add the Polygon network to your wallet, it only takes a few minutes.

Instructions by Wallet Type

Change or Disconnect a Wallet

You can now disconnect a wallet from your account at The Sandbox and connect another one. This can be helpful if:

• Your wallet was compromised.

• You want to change to a different type of wallet with other strengths or benefits.

• You began your journey with a beginner friendly wallet and are ready for a more advanced one.

WALLET SECURITY ISSUE?

Along with disconnecting a compromised wallet from your account, we recommend reviewing the My Wallet Was Compromised page for helpful information.

Important Information

Can I connect a wallet I used on a different account?

No. You will not be able to connect a wallet that has been used on another account at The Sandbox

ONE ACCOUNT CONNECTION PER WALLET For security reasons, a wallet may only be connected to ONE account at The Sandbox ever. You can NOT connect a wallet you have used on a different account at The Sandbox, but you can reconnect a wallet to the same account again if needed.

Does disconnecting a wallet delete anything?

Disconnecting a wallet only removes ACCESS to a wallet's data via The Sandbox website and software.

• It does NOT delete your account at The Sandbox.

• It does NOT delete your connected Wallet. - You can still access the wallet through the wallet provider's website, browser extension, or app if these options are available.

• It does NOT delete any digital assets you own. - You can still find your tokens in the wallet and view them on an external marketplace like OpenSea.

• It does NOT have any affect on your KYC status if you completed this process on your account at The Sandbox. - Note that KYC can only be completed on ONE account per person at The Sandbox.

Timing & Visibility on Your Account

Blockchain smart contracts may affect what is visible after disconnecting a wallet

Some other information you may expect to be connected to your account are actually connected to the timing of your activities in The Sandbox and the wallet connected at the time. This is due to the nature of the blockchain technology that drives the ecosystem so you can Play, Create, and Earn in The Sandbox.

Smart contracts created by your activities are NOT modified when you change your connected wallet, so some information you expect to see may not appear on your account if you disconnect a wallet and connect a different one.

Depending on the nature of smart contracts that are created from your activity in The Sandbox, it may be possible to see information related to your previous wallet by connecting it to your account again. It depends on details within the contracts such as the time period to redeem rewards.

Pending rewards and claims

If you have pending claims and rewards due to participation in Seasons, Events, contests, Staking, etc, you may not see them on a newly connected wallet depending on the timing of claims being created by The Sandbox.

You may find it best to wait to disconnect your wallet until you are able to claim what you have earned from Play & Earn, Staking, etc.

WITHDRAW STAKED FUNDS BEFORE DISCONNECTING A WALLET Your Staked SAND will remain in the pool even if you disconnect your wallet, and it will remain associated with that wallet. You can only claim rewards from it or withdraw the funds if the wallet is connected to your Sandbox account. Once you have withdrawn staked funds on your current wallet, you can transfer them to the other wallet you wish to use, connect the wallet, and stake the funds again with the new wallet associated to the staking action.

Pending sales on the Marketplace

If you have created assets, minted them as NFTs, and put them for sale on the Marketplace, earnings will go to the wallet that was connected to the account when items were put up for sale, not the wallet that is connected when your items sell. Check the formerly connected wallet to see if expected earnings have been sent there.

Transfer Content

You can transfer $SAND tokens to your preferred wallet. There should be an option to "Send" currency within the wallet itself.

You can transfer NFTs, such as LAND and ASSETs to another of your wallets using the "Gifting" features on NFT exchanges like OpenSea and Rarible.

Triple-check that any wallet addresses you are sending your $SAND and NFTs to is correct before initiating the transfer. There is no way to recover currency or NFTs that were sent to an incorrect address.

Wallet Disconnection Process

Sign In & Begin

1. In the top right of The Sandbox website, select Sign In to access your account. Follow the usual prompts to log in to your account through your social account or wallet.

1. Click on your Username to open the dropdown menu and select Settings. Then use the menu on the left and then click on the Wallet settings sub-page.

   
2. On this page you will see the address for the wallet that is currently connected to your account and details of any wallets that were previously connected to the account. Click on the link to Disconnect Wallet beneath the wallet address to open a popup and begin the disconnect process.

Review Changes

1. Review the popup window explaining what will change about your Sandbox Account due to disconnecting access to the connected wallet. Any tokens contained in the wallet that is currently connected will no longer be visible on your Sandbox account, including SAND, LAND, Avatars, NFTs, Claims, and Rewards. As noted above, none of this content is deleted, you are merely removing access to see it and use it on your Sandbox account. If you are missing claims, rewards, or proceeds from selling your content on the Sandbox Marketplace, review the section above about blockchain related information that may not be visible on your account after disconnecting a wallet.
2. Click the checkbox in the window to acknowledge that you are aware disconnecting your wallet will remove access to content in the wallet via your Sandbox account and software. Then click the "Disconnect wallet" button.

   

Confirmation

1. You will be sent a confirmation link from The Sandbox via the email address saved in your profile on your Sandbox account. There is an option to resend the link if needed. Click the button in the email to confirm you want to unlink your wallet from your Sandbox account or use the link included in the email to confirm your decision.

Connect a Wallet

1. Your request is complete! The Blockchain Settings page now shows an option to Connect my Wallet so you may either connect a different wallet or connect the same one again. When you're ready, follow the prompts to connect a wallet. Visit Wallet: Choose, Connect for more information.

   

I Forgot...

Which Wallet I Registered With

I Forgot Which Wallet I Registered With

The wallet that you connected to your account depends on your method of registration. Methods are clearly displayed in the registration menu and on the Wallet: Choose, Connect page.

• If you registered with a social network, such as Facebook, Google (aka Gmail) or Twitter, then you likely have a Venly wallet. (Note: Venly was previously known as Arkane).

  • Link: https://www.venly.io/.
• If you registered through the MetaMask Web3 option, you likely connected a MetaMask wallet.

  • Link: https://metamask.io/ or accessed through a browser extension.
• If you registered through the Coinbase option, you likely connected a Coinbase wallet.

  • Link: https://www.coinbase.com/wallet
• If you use the Brave browser and registered through the Web3 option, you might have connected a Brave wallet.

  • Accessed via the Brave browser.

• If you use the Opera browser and registered through the Web3 option, you might have connected an opera wallet.

  • Accessed through the Opera browser.

• If you registered through WalletConnect, it's possible you could have any wallet supported by WalletConnect, such as Wombat.

If you still need help identifying which wallet that you registered with, contact support, who may be able to ask one of the developers or community managers at The Sandbox to check for you.

My Wallet Password or Security Key

I Forgot My Wallet Password or Security Key

The Sandbox is unable to assist you with this as your wallet is a third-party. If there is a forgotten password tool on your wallet's login page, use this.

Generally, if you forgot your wallet's password, you can still recover your wallet with the security key or security passphrase you should have been given by the wallet when you registered it - hopefully you wrote this down somewhere.

If you are still unable to access the wallet, you will need to contact the support team for the wallet service that you use.

It is your sole responsibility to remember and keep safe any passwords and security keys or phrases.

If you come across someone asking for your password or security keys, even if they claim to be Sandbox staff or staff for the wallet service you use - never, ever give them your password or security keys.
