10 months agoMy friend & co-founder @arthurmadrid and myself embarked on an adventure towards the end of the world on the 7th continent: Antartica 🇦🇶

It inspired us in taught us many lessons that we can apply to @TheSandboxGame on a model of Governance, how we want to build a world for future generations, preserve our physical & virtual worlds and introduce #PlayToLearn and #BuildToEarn programs to educate players on environment, sustainability, and ecology in the metaverse.
As we look towards the next decade with The Sandbox, it becomes clear that the future of The Sandbox (and of planet Earth) is tied to our collective commitment to education, ecology, preservation, and an innovative approach to governance. Just like with our own world, we aim to leave our digital world better for future generations.
Looking ahead, we’re launching a Virtual Neighborhood of 1,000 LANDs, and all proceeds will go to non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
We also want to engage our community of Creators in making user-generated content via Game Jams and various contests around the important topics of environment, sustainability, and ecology.
Just like Antarctica, The Sandbox could be a destination where millions of people become true explorers, the heroes of their adventures. Every new LAND explored will make them proud, curious, and excited to open their minds to greater learnings and discoveries.
While on the boat, we also discovered a passion for photography, and while we will not pretend to call ourselves “professionals”, we enjoyed observing Antarctica through the lens of a Sony DSC-RX10M4 and the latest iPhone 15 Pro Max. We took great shots of whales, penguins, seals, icebergs, and also cinematic and Apple Vision Pro videos that we edited here to enjoy on a large TV screen or with your XR headset.
