Your cryptocurrency wallet is a third-party tool that is not provided by The Sandbox directly. Here, we offer documentation on the basic things you'll need to choose and manage your wallet.
Software wallet connection instructions
Learn about a higher security wallet option
KYC verification reduces fraud so rewards go to legitimate players, creators & owners
Recommendations to protect your digital property
Use your allotted gasless transactions and pay gas fees in SAND with these settings
Permit Polygon network transactions on your wallet
Permit SAND and LAND tokens to be transacted on your wallet
Guidance to move your wallet contents between Ethereum and Polygon layers
If you would like to connect a different wallet or your wallet was compromised
If you forgot which wallet you connected, your wallet password, or your security key
Recommendations if you notice unauthorised activity on your third-party wallet
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
Open your Metamask extension and click on the network dropdown.
Select Add Network at the bottom.
Type in the following information on this screen:
Network name: Polygon Mainnet
Chain ID: 137
Currency Symbol: POL (formerly MATIC)
Then click Save. You are now ready to switch between networks.
There are also many token types out there, such as digital currency or NFTs from a certain source. Rather than having a widely connected wallet at the start, you have greater security by connecting only what you need. It only takes a few minutes to enable SAND and LAND tokens for your 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Use the addresses in the tab below to add SAND and LAND tokens to any wallet type. If adding tokens on the Polygon network,
If you don't see POL (Polygon) Mainnet, you need to to your wallet.
Used prior to 2022. Please migrate to the new contract. See: .
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 that may not be visible on your account after disconnecting a wallet.
