Probably nothing.
A bit about adidas' new partner 'The Sand' metaverse: The Sandbox is a play-to-earn blockchain game that allows users to buy, sell, build and create digital assets on its decentralized platform. The SAND utility token facilitates transactions on the platform.
Sébastien Borget, co-founder and chief operating officer of The Sandbox, previously explained to Currency.com how brands could use lands on the map.
He said: “The Sandbox platform allows any creator, whether they are a LAND or not, to mint their assets made using VoxEdit, our 3D-modelling and animating tool, on the Marketplace and put them up for sale as NFTs [non-fungible tokens]. By extension, any brand can mint his own NFTs and turn his LAND into a shop. The difference is other users can see and preview their NFTs in 3D directly from within the virtual world.”
