The Sandbox is a virtual gaming world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences.
Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.
How The Sandbox's TVL is measured
DeFiLlama publishes the exact rules used to aggregate on-chain balances into the headline TVL figure shown on this page. The methodology below is the team's own source-of-truth description.
SAND LP on quickswap and uniswap-v2 can be staked as pool2 - only component of the Sandbox TVL at the moment
If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.
The Sandbox tokenomics and on-chain capital
The Sandbox's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of $237.8M based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot.
Market cap and supply figures are sourced from DeFiLlama's price feed (which reconciles CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and on-chain DEX prices). Treasury and staking values reflect on-chain balances controlled by the protocol at last sync.
