Nukta to Feature Sandbox Lands and Avatars in New Web3 Push in the MENA Region

On Nov 28, 2023

The Sandbox, Nukta, and Sandsoft have announced a strategic partnership to promote Web3 and metaverse adoption in Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, and North Africa (MENA) region. This collaboration aims to support the growth of the Web3 gaming ecosystem, with a particular focus on creating gaming experiences that resonate with the preferences of Saudi gamers.

As part of the partnership, Nukta will list Sandbox lands and avatars on its NFT marketplace, granting access to Saudi-related items. This will facilitate the growth and expansion of Web3 adoption in the region, as recent trends indicate a notable surge in Saudi Arabia’s interest in decentralized technology.

Empowering Local Creators

Sébastien Borget, COO and co-founder of The Sandbox, highlighted the collaboration’s intent to attract local creators in Saudi Arabia to The Sandbox’s platform and enable them to monetize digital assets on Nukta’s platform. The partnership will play a crucial role in fostering innovation and growth within the Saudi region.

The initiative is set to launch early next year, beginning with a competition for local creators. Participants will use The Sandbox’s 3D editor, VoxEdit, to create their digital assets. Winning entries will be featured on the Web3 infrastructure provider’s NFT marketplace, providing further opportunities for regional creators.

Tailoring Projects for the Local Market

The collaboration between The Sandbox, Nukta, and Sandsoft enables Saudi Arabian creators to explore the Sandbox metaverse and develop projects tailored specifically for the local market. This will ensure that the gaming and Web3 experiences delivered by this partnership resonate with users in the region.

Sandbox views this partnership as a vital stepping stone for future collaboration and expansion in Saudi Arabia and the MENA region. By working together, these companies will continue to promote the adoption of Web3 and the metaverse, breaking new ground in the rapidly evolving world of decentralized technology.
