With numerous solidarity initiatives, the metaverse The Sandbox takes sides with the war-affected Ukrainian population. The platform has in fact donated 1,000,000 SAND (its proprietary cryptocurrency) to UNICEF, for a total of 300,000 euros. The funds will be used to provide water, medical kits and support educational programs for refugees. Added to this are numerous collections of NFTs put up for sale with the aim of raising funds.
