What is Blockchain?

A blockchain is a publicly accessible online ledger (database) that is not owned by any central authority. Once anything is set in this ledger, it cannot be modified or censored by any single authority. Blockchain technology provides the following benefits to creators: Scarcity, Authenticity, True-Ownership and so on.

How do I become a moderator in The Sandbox community?

The Sandbox does not recruit moderators. Instead, they are hand-picked from our Ambassador Program based on several factors, such as helpfulness, activity, loyalty, attitude, rule-abidance, knowledge, etc.

Is The Sandbox's platform truly owned by the players?

The Sandbox is a decentralised platform made by players for players. Within five years of publicly launching the game, The Sandbox's goal is that 100% of the LAND and SAND will be owned by the players. By then there will not be any LAND or SAND in the company reserves. ASSETs in the game are user-generated and owned by their creators. We are building an ecosystem where content and value will be in the hands of the community.

When I try to access The Sandbox website, I get "Error 1020."

This Error 1020 message is from a third-party security service called Cloudfare, which protects The Sandbox from malicious attacks, such as DDOS attacks. It can also be triggered by repeatedly visiting the same page in a short time or repeatedly refreshing the page. Another reason it can be triggered is due to using a VPN, especially if the location it is currently set to is recognised as having recently been involved in shady activity, not necessarily by you. Try again later. Or contact Cloudfare if it has been more than 24 hours.
