Training Grounds LAND Sale ft. Cirque du Soleil, SCC Napoli, Open Circus, Metafight, Deepak Chopra, Casio G-Shock & Kun Agüero
It’s time to take what’s yours! The “Training Grounds” LAND Sale unveils its rewards and a new corner of The Sandbox Metaverse reserved for world-class performances, wellness experts, and sports fans alike. Explore 184 standard LANDs, 52 Premium LANDs, and four Estates near partners like Cirque du Soleil, SCC Napoli, Open Circus, Metafight, Deepak Chopra, Casio G-Shock, and Kun Agüero.
This new LAND sale comes with an updated format that we’re excited to share! First, Bid-to-Earn auctions of LANDs will take place from July 15 to July 22. Then, on July 22, a multi-week sale will go live on our website.
The Sandbox-GBM Bid-to-Earn Auctions: July 15 - July 22
During this period, 26 plots of Premium LANDs, 80 Standard LANDs, and four Estates will be up for sale, with no minimum bid required. It’s your chance to get a LAND at a great price!
In past auctions, 10,000 SAND have been distributed to bidders when outbid. How much will you earn?
Earn Even More When You Bid
During these auctions, all bidders are rewarded when outbid. The higher your bid, the greater the reward you'll earn if you're outbid. There is no limit on the amount of bids you can place, and you'll be rewarded every single time you're outbid. All details can be found HERE.
This system rewards strong bids. Making your best offer from the start maximizes your reward if outbid.
Additionally, we’re partnering with GBM Festival, allowing participants to discover a wide range of NFTs (including Avatars from The Sandbox!) and share 25,000,000 $GBM tokens. Every participant in the auctions will earn a share of the pool, even if outbid. Token allocation is then distributed based on people’s share of the total festival points.
Details about $GBM tokens can be found HERE.
The Sandbox Raffle Sale: July 22
On July 22, the main Training Grounds LAND sale commences, offering fans a chance to secure LAND in the new neighborhood at a fixed price. This sale will consist of 26 Premium LANDs and 104 Standard LANDs. The sale will be on a first-come, first-served basis. You will get a LAND from the neighborhood of the type you choose.
Plus, this sale includes the ability to earn rewards when you refer a friend.
Refer a Friend, Earn a 5% Reward
During the multi-week raffle phase, you’ll see a new referral field on the minting page.
When minting, enter a valid LAND Owner’s username (usernames can be found on their Profile page and on the main page of the LAND sale), and both you and your referrer will receive a 5% SAND reward. Rewards will be distributed via a claim on both accounts within two weeks after the sale ends.
This initiative rewards LAND Owners and their friends for helping grow the community. It applies to all LAND purchases, whether single or multiple, Standard or Premium.
We hope you will enjoy this LAND sale!
