SAND hit a new all-time high at $8.40 four days ago. Now the token's price is less than 10% away from it's all-time high. 

As the Sandbox Metaverse goes live, players have the opportunity to explore virtual experiences. 

Alongside the Alpha pass for metaverse experiences, Sandbox organized a land-owner raffle to offer 1000 SAND and exclusive alpha NFTs.
