Sebastien Borget is the cofounder and COO of the Sandbox and his colleague Nathan from the marketing team join us to discuss the upcoming user generated blockchain world. We go into details as to how sandbox is accomplishing their goals of bringing blockchain to mainstream gamers by allowing them to generate their own assets and deploy them to the world. Through Voxel art, users can contribute their creations into the world and sell them as NFTs. Users can decide how many of each creation can exist in the world and anyone can buy them and deploy them to their land to make a game around it. We even get down to the details of how people can stake their digital currency called Sand to enable new functionality that wasn't possible before. Afterwards we debrief on the conversation and discuss how you can get involved and what we could bring to the table into this new metaverse.

The MetaZone team adds Lastraum as our smart contract developer. Pretty soon all players, landowners and creators will be able to go to their MetaZone account and receive a payout with a click of a button. We want to build a trust-less environment where we can collaborate and grow MetaZone together without having to trust anyone on payments. In the course of 7 days post launch of Decentraland, we were able to receive over 150,000 in Mana from landowners and players for our games. We are discovering something we anticipated existed, the ability to deploy custom content for landowners to earn passive income is a growing need. We're happy that we collected like-minded people to join us in making this happen.

Welcome back to episode 52 of The Block Runner Podcast. Here is where we discuss the latest developments in cryptocurrency while we make this new technology relatable to you. You can watch this podcast on our YouTube channel to follow along with our discussion. As always, I am your host William talking with your cohost Iman and today we discuss our experiences and the performance of MetaZone 5 days after Decentraland. We discuss revenue and how you can earn Mana from your land. Alright lets listen in.

‍

After spending the whole night before the Decentraland launch getting things ready for ourselves, MetaZone.io, and our landowners who have deployed our games to accept payments. We learned many things about how Decentraland can survive and be a viable metaverse. Listen in on how much revenue we generated just 12 hours after the launch and how we plan to grow our network of hosts.

William and Iman collect a group of Decentraland all stars including Corv, FrankyNeedles and Lastraum to discuss our thoughts on the launch. We discuss the gear we found in many of the beta tests and how they'll increase in valuation. A Decentralized Autonomous Organization will be responsible with many of the updates and governance of the platform. Throughout this journey, many of us have asked ourselves whether it continues to make sense pouring in our time and investments in building out things in the metaverse. We also discuss some feedback for the Decentraland team which ranges from some SDK improvements to additional functionality that would open up new experiences. We also discuss what has more value between MANA and LAND. Make sure you stay tuned till the end to watch us go through some play tests. Keep in mind the final tests will have some bugs in preparation of the launch in just a few days. Finally we discuss how NFTs are supported in Decentraland such as wearables and how the community could contribute to his space.
