The Sandbox is the leading crypto Metaverse coin on the market right now. It features the highest quality 3D Metaverse built with Unity. While it may have a relatively low volume to market cap ratio, keep in mind that SAND’s valuation is in the billions.

The Sandbox enables users to buy plots of Land and monetize them, offering a gamified experience that includes quests, games, and challenges to earn rewards.
The Sandbox also features the SAND token, which is the native currency on the platform. At the time of writing, SAND is trading at $4.89, with a 24-hour trading volume of $1.3 billion.

Launched in March 2018, Axie Infinity is one of the most popular blockchain-based games, so popular in fact that the team behind the game built a whole blockchain specifically for the game, Ronin.

Decentraland (MANA) – $5.3 billion
One of my personal favorites and a pioneer in 3D Metaverse projects is Decentraland, a blockchain-based virtual platform enabling a multitude of experiences along with a way for users to purchase Land assets and monetize them.
Decentraland has been open to the public since February 2020 and is the longest-running 3D Metaverse project in crypto.
Anyone can check out Decentraland by visiting their official website and connecting using MetaMask on Chrome. Make sure that your wallet is set on the Ethereum chain, and have fun exploring!
While Decentraland is already one of the highest-valued projects on the market, as more and more platforms are built on Decentraland, MANA can easily double or triple in price next year.
